Procedures for Requesting a College Recommendation from your Counselor

Many colleges do not require recommendations. Some colleges require a specific number of recommendations from specific sources (i.e., one teacher or the counselor). With very few exceptions, it is NOT in the student's best interests to submit more recommendations than requested. With a very high volume of applications, admissions committees do not have time to read repetitive letters. Recommendation letters are generally confidential and are not shared with the student or parent.

Counselor recommendations may be needed for college applications, scholarships, employment or other programs.  If you need a counselor recommendation you must complete the Student Questionnaire AND Parent Questionnaire by Sept. 11, 2026to provide enough time for counselors to write the recommendation letter. Please see the links below for the Student Questionnaire and Parent Questionnaire, both due Sept. 11, 2026. 

Please note that this process is for requesting Counselor Recommendation letters.  It is the individual student’s responsibility to seek out teacher recommendation letters separately.
