from Dr. Ernst
To the student: Crafting a letter of recommendation is an
important responsibility; I will need, at minimum,
3 - 4 weeks to prepare your
letter(s). The checklist below is for you. Please read and
follow it carefully.

1. Provide me all
the following documents (hard copies, not electronic attachments) , at least,
4 weeks
before the earliest deadline
date.

non-official transcript(s). Highlight the courses you have taken from
me. Note, transcripts
printed or downloaded from LORA do not provide Dean's List status. Thus, I
would suggest
you obtain a copy of your transcript(s) from
the Office of Student Records.

resume/vitae
