Dean’s Recommendation Forms
(Dean’s Certification, Transfer Recommendation Forms)
Students wishing to transfer schools, apply to graduate or professional programs, or who are applying for a special academic program, study abroad, or a particular scholarship or award, may need to provide a dean’s recommendation form as part of the application process. Dean’s recommendation forms (also known as dean’s certification forms or transfer recommendation forms) typically require academic information and information
pertaining to a student’s conduct. At the University, academic information is tracked within each student’s School or College of registration, while disciplinary/conduct information is maintained at the Office of Judicial Affairs and Student Safety Programs.
Recommendation forms are completed through the joint efforts of the Schools and Colleges and the Office of Judicial Affairs. In order to expedite the process, please note the following guidelines for submitting recommendation/certification/transfer forms:
1. All students should be sure that their recommendation forms are clearly marked with:
- Student’s full name (maiden name where applicable)
- Student’s date of birth
- University ID number and Social Security number
- Dates of attendance
- School or College of registration
- Current telephone number
- Forwarding address (residence and/or institution)
2. All forms should be accompanied by a stamped, addressed envelope for mailing out the completed form.
3. Students applying to professional graduate programs (law school, medical school, dental school, or veterinary school) should submit the dean’s recommendation forms to
the Preprofessional Advising Office, at 725 Commonwealth Avenue, Room B2. For more information, contact the PreProfessional Advising Office at 617-353-4866.
4. Undergraduate students in the College of Arts and Sciences should bring the form directly to the Office of Judicial Affairs and Student Safety Programs, 19 Deerfield Street, Third Floor. The Office of Judicial Affairs will attach a disciplinary summary letter, and
then forward the entire packet to the College of Arts and Sciences Records Office,
725 Commonwealth Avenue, Room B3, for processing. For more information, contact
the Office of Judicial Affairs and Student Safety Programs at 617-358-0700 or the CAS Records Office at 617-353-9275.
5. All other students should bring their dean’s recommendation forms directly to the dean’s office or records office of the student’s School or College of registration. Staff there will complete these forms, with assistance from staff at the Office of Judicial Affairs, and the completed forms will be sent out. For more information on this process, contact your School or College.
