• Ability to review academic portfolios and dossiers online in a secure PDF format
• Option to use Interfolio to create an academic portfolio and store your personal letters of recommendation

Free letter writers account

Interfolio offers a free letters writers account for faculty and letter writers to upload letters of recommendation directly to student's Interfolio accounts. To sign up for a free letter writers account, click here. Interfolio offers resources for faculty and letter writers including a video on how to submit a letter of recommendation, an instruction manual detailing the receipt of a letter request, the submission process and the capabilities of a letter writers account, and a help center for letter writers with numerous resources. 

How to submit a letter of recommendation

Letters of recommendation may be submitted in physical form, together with the document request form, to the Center for Career Education Dossier Service, using the address below. The Dossier Service will upload your confidential letters to Interfolio on your behalf. Letters may also be submitted electronically, through Interfolio's website. However, in order to electronically submit letters, writers will need to create a free Interfolio Recommendation Writer's Account. Interfolio has an excellent help center for this process.  Additionally, a template for letter writers is available from Interfolio. Writers can also view a screenshot of how to submit a letter here. Writers also have the option of sending recommendations directly to Interfolio at the address below. Document IDs can be found at the bottom of the document request form . Document IDs can also be obtained from support@interfolio.com or by calling an Interfolio customer service representative at 1-877-77-FOLIO (36546).
