Make sure you notify your selected referees prior to completing your application. You are strongly encouraged to discuss your application with your referees prior to sending the email notifications below.)

If you are already a student at UW-Madison, at least one of the letters of recommendation must be current.

(Some centers require that all graduate students, including incoming graduate students, must obtain a letter of recommendation from a professor in the department they are in or will be entering.

Please check with your FLAS Coordinator at the address below.)
