Can the Applicant/Candidate View the Content of a Letter of Recommendation?
If the request is for a confidential letter of recommendation, no, the applicant or candidate will never be able to view the content of the letter. Applicants/Candidates can view the following information for confidential letters of recommendation:
- The status of the request (requested, pending, completed, or declined) on the Letters and Materials page of their Dossier account. If the request is completed, they will also see the date and time the letter was uploaded.
- If the applicant/candidate clicks “view details” for the confidential letter, they will see the following screen:
If the request is for a non-confidential letter of recommendation, the applicant or candidate will be able to view the content of the letter. Whether the request is for a confidential or non-confidential letter will be shown in the emailed request and under Type on the Letters to Write page when uploading your letter.
