Letter of Recommendation or Reference Request Form

To request a letter of recommendation or Reference from the L.E.A.R.N. program, review the following CAREFULLY:

- You must be in good standing with the program.
- A 3.0 cumulative GPA is required unless the L.E.A.R.N. participant has shown a steadily increase in performance in recent semesters (e.g., 2.5 GPA followed by a 3.3 GPA). Please contact us with questions or clarification.
- All requests must be submitted a minimum of two weeks before the program deadline in order to ensure completion and delivery.
- When filling out the letter of request form from programs, please use Dr. Tripp's email Mary.Tripp@ucf.edu. For Dr. Tripp's phone number, please use 407.823.3125. DO NOT use the L.E.A.R.N. email or phone number for official application information.
- Once you submit this form, we will contact you if we have any questions.
- All information must be filled out for each program you are applying to. Please provide as much detail as possible for the submission process (i.e. will we be receiving a link to submit an evaluation)
- - Attach any forms that need to be completed with the letter of recommendation or reference.
- - If you need more than one letter of recommendation or reference, please fill out a separate form for each letter you are requesting.
- If your letter has not been submitted 48 hours prior to the deadline, please send LEARN@ucf.edu a gentle reminder. We do our best to submit letters in a timely manner but are often processing numerous letters in a short time frame.
