To assist you with applications for graduate school, medical school, or teaching jobs that require letters of recommendation, we have partnered with Interfolio, the premier web-based credential file management service. On-line access to an electronically stored credentials file provides the greatest convenience and accessibility for you. We believe that students and alumni will find Interfolio to be a convenient and efficient resource. Here are some of the ways that our partnership with Interfolio will help you manage your credentials:
• Easiest applications – Storing your letters of recommendation in a credential file make the process of applying to graduate school or medical school, or for teaching positions, much easier! Instead of getting several letters from each recommendation writer, you have one sent to Interfolio and they do the rest of the work.
• Self-managed – With Interfolio you can do everything by yourself, anytime. You are in complete control of your credentials file.
• 24-hour availability – You don’t need to wait for regular business hours in order to add or update letters or documents in your file. You can send out your applications round the clock as well.
• High quality contents – Instead of photocopying, documents can be electronically uploaded into your account, including confidential letters of recommendation, making for the cleanest credential file deliveries.
• Quick turnaround – Interfolio processes all delivery requests in 1 day. It also offers multiple mailing options, including FedEx, and even electronic delivery (where available).
• Flexibility - Your files may contain many kinds of documents, so that you can store whatever you need to have the most complete application. In addition to recommendation letters you can store other types of documents, such as writing samples, articles, test scores, unofficial transcripts, and many more. Your file, including confidential letters of recommendation, is entirely self-managed.
• Cost Savings - Interfolio charges only $15 to set up your account for an entire year, and $5 per application sent out. Interfolio also offers familiar payment options. Online credit card payments are accepted, as are checks and money orders.
• Customer Service – Interfolio offers 1 business day turnaround on voicemail and all email questions to help@Interfolio.com. They also offer an online helpdesk for immediate answers to almost any question about their service.
