What are the Letters of Reference Services?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

These are services that allow UCLA undergraduates, graduates, and alumni (who pay an annual activation fee) to store their letters of reference for graduate and professional school programs with our department. Since these letters are solely for the purpose of supporting the application to graduate and professional school programs, we will only send letters to admissions offices at universities and colleges. We will not send letters to support applications to scholarships, fellowships, or internships. Since the purpose of these services is to send letters to multiple graduate and professional schools, we can only accept non-specifically addressed letters.

 

Letters of Reference Price Structure
Alumni: $75 Activation Fee + *Letter Fee
Current Students: $20 Account Set-up Fee + *Letter Fee

 

*Letter Fees
For standard mail, the letter fee is $10 each for the first two schools, $5 for each subsequent school per request, regardless of the number of letters requested.

 

For Priority Mail, the letter fee is $28 for each school, regardless of the number of letters requested.
