Guidelines:
1. Many students send letters of recommendation as a part of their application for admission. Most campuses do not
request letters of recommendation from applicants but may ask for them in specific situations.
2. The Recommendation for Undergraduate Admission form is accepted by most campuses in the UW System. UW-
Madison provides their applicants with an online Letter of Recommendation Form at
https://www.admissions.wisc.edu/apply/recommendations/submit/index.php which should be used by all
applicants to UW-Madison.
3. Individual letters of recommendation written by teachers, counselors, and other educators are also accepted at
most UW campuses.
4. If possible, please submit the form electronically as an attachment when submitting the applicants’ electronic
transcript.
5. If not included as an attachment when sending the electronic transcript, the Recommendation for Undergraduate
Form should be emailed or sent via U.S. mail to the campus/es to which the student is applying.
