Letter Form (pdf)
The Letter Form is the document the author will use for composing your letter. It is acceptable for them to use company/departmental letterhead, but it still MUST be accompanied by the Letter Form, as it contains specific, required information for your file. Contacting your Reference ElectronicallyIf you know your reference's email address, you can most effectively complete the process through SCOTLink (log in for students or alumni). The system will automate an email on your behalf including a link to the Letter Form. Include a brief note to remind the author of who you are, if necessary, in the comments block. This could include your major/credential or similar information. You may want to provide contact information for your reference to reach you if they need to ask you a question or for clarification.
U.S. MailIf you need to contact your reference via US mail, then send the Letter Form with the top portion completed to the person making the referral to request a letter to be sent to UC Riverside's Letter of Reference File Service. Be sure to include a brief note to remind the author of who you are, if necessary. This could include your major/credential or similar information. You may want to provide contact information for your reference to reach you if they need to ask you a question or for clarification.
ProtocolsIt is considered polite for you to provide an envelope for the author to return the letter to the Career Center. If the author is not able to use UCR inter-campus mail, you should ensure that it is postage paid. - The appropriate address is:
- University of California, Riverside
- Letters of Reference
- Career Center-070
- Riverside, CA 92521-0211
