General Information

A Wesleyan student or alumni who subscribes to the Credential Service must request MAILINGS IN WRITING, VIA FAX OR MAIL; TELEPHONE AND E-MAIL REQUESTS ARE NOT ACCEPTED.

BY FEDERAL LAW (The Buckley Amendment), WE ARE REQUIRED TO RECEIVE YOUR REQUEST TO HAVE REFERENCES SENT IN WRITING; NO TELEPHONE CALLS OR E-MAILS.  FAXED REQUESTS WITH YOUR SIGNATURE ARE ACCEPTED.

· Upon receipt of your written request, the Credential Service will send your letters within five (5) business days.

· Letters of reference will be mailed to schools (including other Credential Services) or employers.  A signed Credential Request form or signed letter must be submitted granting your permission.   (See “Forwarding Letters….”)

A letter, when marked "Confidential," may not be read by the student or alum.  You may ask the Coordinator whether the letter specifies graduate school or employment but may not ask about any other specifics of the letter.  Any recommendation not accompanied by a signed waiver form will be considered and marked “Confidential.”
