Recommendation File Service

New Changes to SCS Recommendation File Service

SCS has streamlined its Recommendation File Service. Students no longer have to wait for SCS to contact recommenders. Instead, students can now initiate the process by contacting the recommenders directly. The recommenders will mail their recommendation letters to SCS, where they will be assembled into a recommendation packet. For more information, please see the section on how to arrange for letters of recommendation under SCS Recommendation File Service: Rules, Guidelines, and Procedures.

The School of Continuing Studies provides a recommendation file service for students formally admitted to the Professional Health Careers PDP. This service is also available to admitted students who are completing an SCS undergraduate degree with a major in Biology.

This service compiles letters of recommendation that have been solicited by students. Once students have applied to professional schools, a packet of letters will be sent out to those schools, upon student request. Recommendation packets consist of photocopies of the original recommendation letters, a verification of program completion and authenticity of the letters from the Assistant Dean for Undergraduate and Credit Professional Programs, as well as an explanation of the Professional Health Careers curriculum. The dean's letter explains that the curriculum matches the science curriculum at the day school and that the certificate is awarded by the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences at Northwestern University, which is responsible for maintaining the program's high quality standards. The fee for the service is $10 per recommendation packet mailed.

If you have any questions after reviewing the information, you may call Kina Kelly at 312-503-3715.
