Step Three

Upload required materials to the application by clicking “Add File” to add required materials:

Open the “Add New File” tab to upload materials from your computer:

“Type” describes the material and indicates which requirement it satisfies such as: CV, Proposal, Dissertation Abstract, Publication, etc.

 

Step Four

Send a request for a confidential letter of recommendation by clicking “Add File” under the requirement for confidential letters of recommendation:

Scholars who received their PhDs within the last five years are required to submit three letters of recommendation directly through Interfolio.

When the recommendation is received from your letter writer, Interfolio will automatically attach it to the application.

Your request will appear with the status “Requested” until the letter writer accepts or denies the request. If they accept, the status will be listed as “Pending” until we receive the letter.
