The School of Architecture does not have a separate form for the recommenders to fill out but there is an optional form found on the SlideRoom portal. Recommenders will receive instructions via email once the pplicant has designated their recommenders and their email addresses through the online application. Letters of recommendation must be submitted through the SlideRoom system. We will not accept letters of recommendation through postal mail.
