A Guide to the Recommendation Service

Step 7. Have Evaluations Sent to HPPLC

How the letters are sent to HPPLC depends on where each recommender is located:

On-Campus Recommenders: If your recommenders are on an Indiana University campus, provide them with HPPLC’s preaddressed Campus Mail envelopes.

Off-Campus Recommenders: If your recommenders are not on an Indiana University campus, provide them with a stamped, pre-addressed business size envelope.

Checking Your File

You must monitor your account to keep track of letters received.  When a recommendation is received, it is HPPLC policy to attempt to email you (assuming that you have provided a valid email address) to let you know they have been placed in your file.  NOTE:  the IU email system is fraught with temporary problems.  Some emails slip through the cracks; sometimes mailboxes are full.  It is your responsibility to contact the service to determine if a letter is in your file.  You should check on the status of your file by either sending an email message to recserve@indiana.edu, calling HPPLC at 812.855.1873, or coming to the office in person. You may also meet with an advisor to review your file once it is complete.
