Before you fill out this form, please review the following requirements:

Letter of Recommendation (LOR) process/steps:
  1.  Please complete the questions below and submit to your counselor. Please be as detailed as possible. The more information you provide, the more information the counselor will be able to share with your university.
  2.  Email Mrs. Coleman (dionne.coleman@svusd.org) when you have submitted this form to request an in-person meeting to review your responses.  
Both steps must be completed by the deadline:

  • College applications/scholarships with a deadline in January 1st or later - LOR DEADLINE Friday, October 31, 2025 at 3:30 PM
Regarding Late Requests: A late request will result in either a generic letter written or no letter at all (at the discretion of the School Counselor or other evaluator depending on their workload and timeframe). 

Regarding CSU/UC Applications: California public universities (Cal States and UCs) do not require or accept letters of recommendation. DO NOT complete this packet if these are the only types of colleges to which you are applying, unless your specific program requires a letter.
