The following items should be forwarded directly to the Departmental Graduate Coordinator:

1. Two letters of recommendation, at least one of which is from a faculty member in the applicant's major study area.
   
   Please note: Letters of recommendation, in order to be certified as credible, should NOT be included with your other application information.  Recommendation letters must be prepared by the evaluator on official university letterhead (no photocopies), include the evaluator's phone number and/or email address, and submitted with the signature of the evaluator across the seal of the envelope. The UM letter of recommendation form should be submitted in addition to a formal letter. The departmental form can be downloaded in PDF format below.
