Letter of Recommendation (LOR) Procedures

Many private schools and some out-of-state and/or Common Application schools require a letter of recommendation from your counselor and teacher(s). Please note that CSU, UC, and community colleges do not require or accept transcripts or letters of recommendation prior to admittance unless specifically requested after the application has been received. Please only request letters after you are certain you need them, as teachers and counselors cannot take the time to write them “just in case."

All letter of recommendation (LOR) requests and materials must be made in person one MONTH before your first deadline. 

1. Update Naviance “Colleges I’m Applying To” to list ALL colleges you are planning on applying. Select your application deadlines and confirm that they are accurate. 
    
2. Match Common App and Naviance accounts (if you are applying to colleges on Common App). 
   Watch video to learn how to match accounts and complete FERPA. 
    
3. Request teachers formally on Naviance who will write letters for you.
   “Colleges”-->”Letters of Recommendation”
   Complete this section for each teacher you are requesting a letter of rec.
   
    
4. Complete Naviance “Letter of Recommendation Survey”
   (Click “About Me” tab --> Surveys from your school) 
   There are questions at the very end for parents to also answer if you are applying to a college that requires a Counselor Letter of Recommendation. 
    
5. Complete Naviance Resume

6. Email teachers and copy Mrs. Tegeler when your Naviance survey & resume are complete. 
   Include in email your earliest application deadline that needs the LOR. 
    
7. After you have submitted your applications, thank all of your recommenders, who put in extra time to write you a thoughtful letter for your college applications. 

1. Update your Naviance Student “Colleges I’m Applying to” list in Naviance with ALL colleges you are applying to.
    
2. Common App Colleges- Mrs. Tegeler will automatically send your transcript through Naviance to any colleges that you apply to on the Common Application. 
    
3. Non-Common App Colleges- If you are applying to colleges that are not on the Common Application, kindly email Mrs. Shafer at sshafer@bereanchristian.com to request that she send an official transcript.
