Letters of Reference/Recommendation

Letters of recommendation are handled via an online recommendation system which is part of our online application. The host for this process is CollegeNet, the same vendor which hosts our online application. If you have technical difficulties while completing your letters of recommendation, you should send an e-mail to help@applyweb.com and include your User ID in the e-mail. The technicians at CollegeNet will be able to look at your letters of recommendation and help clear the problem.

If the area you applied to requires letters of recommendations there will be spaces to plug in their information on page four of the application. You will be asked for the following information:
Name of recommenders
E-mail address of each recommender

As soon as you submit your online application, an email will be sent to your respondents. This email will inform your respondents how to complete the online letter of recommendation. To ensure receipt of this email, please inform each respondent about this email prior to the submission of your application.

If you or your respondent has technical difficulty with the online letter of recommendation system, please contact CollegeNet directly at the following email address: help@applyweb.com or you may call CollegeNet at 503-973-5213. It may be necessary to provide CollegeNet with your user id and/or the name of the applicant or respondent.

If your recommenders have failed to do the online recommendation you are able to go back into the application and remind them. You can leave them a note and another email will be sent to the email address that was provided. 

If your recommender does not want to use the online form, they can go to our web at: http://www.grad.clemson.edu/forms/pdf/GSL.pdf and print out the form. 

 

Personal Statement
On the Personal Statement page, you will be asked to answer the following question: Why do you wish to enroll at Clemson University as a Non Degree Student?

You can cut and paste a prepared statement of purpose into the application.  If you would like to email a copy of your Statement of Purpose you can email to grdapp@clemson.edu. Be sure to include your full name, DOB, and other personal identifications to ensure it is matched properly with your application.
