Reference letter form
The page a referee opens from the applicant's request email: the recommendation form, sent once.
What this screen is for
An applicant may ask a referee to write the recommendation online. The referee receives an email with a private link to this form; the link works once. The completed form becomes a PDF in the applicant's Letter of Recommendation slot, the applicant is told, and the referee sees a thank-you page.
