Letters of Recommendation
We usually write references for students who’ve performed well in our classes and/or excelled at completing projects under our direction. Positive interactions and superb performance are key. If you feel an English professor would be a suitable reference for you, please ask at least three ~ 3~ weeks in advance of the deadline so he or she can write the best possible reference for you. To request a recommendation from an English professor, please download this form:
