Requesting a Letter of Recommendation

After I agree to write the letter, copy the information below into an email and provide the following:

1. Your full name as it appears on your application

2. AAMC, or AADSAS numbers, if applicable

3. The semester(s) that you took my course(s)

4. Average hours employed each week, while in my course(s), and employer

5. If you are requesting mulitple types of letters (e.g., Medicine, Pharmacy, MS of Public Health, multiple scholarships, etc.), provide the number of letters needed for each category of program

6. Your personal statement

Additionally:

1. Forms should be filled as completely as possible, including my name and contact information (below). Minimizing the work for someone who is performing a courtesy for you provides information about your thoughtfullness and ability to work with others

2. If I am to mail anything, I will need:
   • Stamped, addressed envelopes (CSUS envelopes are available at the department office or from me)

E-mail a reminder to me one week before you want your letter to leave my office.

My contact information (include the full zip code, or expect your materials to arrive safely in History Professor Holland's mailbox)
