Prelicensure Letter of Recommendation & Letter or Recommendation Release
School of Nursing prelicensure and CEIN undergraduate students are encouraged to use this form to submit requests for letters of recommendation or completion of skill surveys from the faculty or the program director, for employment/internship opportunities or for graduate school application. Please note that the turnaround time for a request is approximately two weeks. "Statements made by a recommender which are made from the recommender's personal observation or knowledge do not require a written release from the student who is the subject of the recommendation. However, if personally identifiable information from the student's educational record is included in a letter of recommendation (grades, GPA, etc.), the writer is required to obtain a signed release from the students which 1) specifies the records that may be disclosed, 2) states the purpose of the disclosure, and 3) identifies the party or class of parties to whom the disclosure can be made."
