Mrs. Nigam's Request for Counselor Letter of Recommendation

CHS Counselor Letter of Recommendation Requests for alpha split: W - Z

Required for Common Application/College School Report

Read these instructions carefully. Please email your counselor if you have questions after reading all instructions.

Most colleges DO NOT require a letter of recommendation. But if you are applying to a Common App school, then you will probably want your counselor to write a letter. Please read your applications carefully and follow the instructions just as the colleges have requested. Make sure you meet all the deadlines. Please allow counselors plenty of time to complete the process (at least three weeks!)

Also, if a school or scholarship asks for a recommendation letter and doesn't specify that it must come directly from your counselor, then in most situations you want to ask a teacher for your letter. Typically you want to ask a person that knows you well and interacts with you on a daily basis.
After you have ascertained a need for a counselor recommendation letter:
- The request for a counselor letter of recommendation is a two step process!
- Step One: Complete this Letter of Recommendation Information form. This information provides your counselor with personal information, highlighting your distinctive characteristics. Your letter of recommendation may include quotes from this form, so be sure to put some thought into your answers. College admissions committees, scholarship committees, or prospective employers gain valuable knowledge of your strengths through counselor letters. If you have a typed resume, you can attach it to this form.
- Step Two: Email the Teacher’s Evaluation Form link to three teacher/faculty members. Once you complete this form and submit, you will receive a confirmation page that includes the link to send to your teachers. The link can also be found on my Schoology Counseling page. Please be sure you ask the teacher if they are willing to complete an evaluation for you prior to sending them the link. The teacher evaluation form will ask for feedback regarding your participation, motivation, academic achievement, and any personal anecdotes that can support your letter. Be sure to allow at least two weeks to return it to the counselor. Faculty/teachers should complete the form online and then your assigned counselor will have access to the information.
- Once you complete your portion of the packet, then submit this JotForm. Please remember, your request is not consider completed until your counselor receives the evaluations from the teachers. Once your request is complete, then allow three weeks for letter completion.

- Request Transcript in Naviance after you have applied. Counselors send official transcripts for Common Application and Coalition Applications. The CHS registrar, Mrs. Olga Flores, sends official transcripts for all other application types.
*** Please remember you must allow three weeks for letter completion after your counselor has received all required parts of the request. ***
- If you need a counselor letter for an application (that is not for a Common Application or Coalition school) or for a scholarship: Please complete this same process and then email your counselor the additional information. At this time, no applications or forms are being mailed, so please provide your counselor all links and forms needed to complete your request. However, you still must request a transcript through Naviance by clicking on the link request "Other transcript" in Naviance. After the teachers return their evaluations, the counselor will write the letter of recommendation and deliver all items to Mrs. Flores to include the official transcript.
