If you are a former or current student or colleage and need a letter of recommendation from me please read these instructions carefully:
- Please contact me by e-mail (bucko@creighton.edu) and find out where I am! While I keep my contact page up to date it may be that I am away from my normal duties for a brief period of time. This is especially crucial when the turn around time for the letter of recommendation is brief. Let me know that you need a letter (or letters) of recommendation from you and how much time I have to complete them.
- Please mail me or drop off at my office a package with the following documents and items:
- A signed copy of a release form authorizing me to send information about you (pdf version - microsoft word version)
- An unofficial transcript of all your academic activities
- An academic and professional vitae describing all your academic work, goals, extracurricular activities, and, if you have graduated from college, your professional and social activities since graduation.
- A reminder of when we first began our professional relationship such as "Fall of 1997".
- A list of all courses you have taken from me and your final grade in each course.
- Recommendation forms from each of the instittuions to which you are applying or the URL for the recommendation or a notice when you ask the institution to contact me for a recommendation (in case it gets caught in a spam filter). If the institution does not supply forms provide an email with an explanation of the kind of recommendation each institution needs from me.
- Proper postage for each letter if letters are to be sent -- I will supply the official envelope.
If you will collect the recommendation from me either a stamped self-addressed envelope for me to return the documents to you or an appointment for when you will come to personally pick up the documents. Please be sure to tell me which procedure, direct mail or return to applicant, you are requried to use.
- A list of addresses to where I am to send the recommendations if the forms are to be send directly to each school.
- A list of schools or scholarships or programs to which you are applying and deadlines for each of the applications. This is very important so that I send in the application or get it back to you on time.
- An e-mail address so I can inform you when I have completed all the recommendations.
- Please also include any other information that I should know that would be helpful in writing a complete letter of recommendation for you.
