Academic Reference Letter and Request Examples
Academic Reference Letter and Request Examples – An academic reference letter just like a recommendation letter for higher studies or for graduate college is asked by a student to a teaching faculty member of a former high school or college before taking up admission in University or for a Master’s Degree/ Professional Course.
This Academic Reference Letter is asked either during the admission process for a new applicant at college/ university or for a job selection process for a candidate who intends to be part of the teaching vacancy post in an education institution.
There are two parts to this article,one that deals with the request by the student to the teacher for a reference letter for a job and the other is a sample of a academic recommendation letter by the teacher for the student.Sometimes a professor or teacher asks that the student give a formal request in writing before he/she can reciprocate with a recommendation letter,otherwise the student can verbally communicate this request.
Why you need an Academic Reference Letter
Just like a employment reference letter that verifies the professional qualifications,work experience and character of the job applicant,an Academic reference letter correlates the grades,study ethics,background ,overall self development and character of the student whilst he/she was studying in that institution.
Top Universities and Colleges need to maintain their top grades and reputations by admitting students who will further that cause and be worthy of being part of that prestigious institution.They need a verifiable source of good standing to endorse the claims of the student that are pledged in the Statement of Purpose and the Educational Transcripts.
Academic Reference Letters are given just copy to the student with multiple envelopes from the admisinstraon office of the School.The student needs to make request the number of copies required (usually about 20).These copies are then individually put one in each envelope that has the printed emblem or logo of the school on it.Each one is then sealed and authenticated.
