Do you waive your right to view the recommendation?
Yes: You waive your right and will not be able to view the letters of recommendation provided in support of your application.
What does I do not waive my rights mean?
If you waive your right to something, such as legal representation, you choose not to have it or do it. If someone waives a rule, they say that people do not have to obey it in a particular situation.
Can I read my letter of recommendation?
You can ask, but it is unusual for a student to ask to see their confidential recommendation letter, and the person who wrote the letter is under no obligation to show you the contents of their letter. Its pretty normal to waive your right to see a recommendation letter.
How do I see recommendation letters?
Whom to Ask Read each of your college applications carefully. Schools often ask for letters of recommendation from an academic teacher — sometimes in a specific subject — or a school counselor or both. Ask a counselor, teachers and your family who they think would make good references.
Should I waive my right to review my Letters of recommendation?
Should I Waive My Right to Review Recommendation Letters? Short answer: yes. Long answer: there’s no need to worry about checking “yes” and waiving your right to see your letters of recommendation on the FERPA waiver section of your college applications.
Can I get my letters of recommendation after FERPA approval?
There’s one caveat to your FERPA-given right of access: you can only access your recommendation letters after you’ve gotten your admission letter of acceptance and chosen to enroll in a college. If you were rejected from or chose not to go to a certain school, then you won’t be able to get your hands on those letters.
Where can I Find my Letters of recommendation for college applications?
Since most students who enroll in college are 18 or older, FERPA gives them the right to request access to their letters of recommendation, wherever they might be stored along with the rest of their application materials.
Should I waive my right to read my college recommendations?
Waiving your right lets colleges know that you will never try to read your recommendations. That in turn reassures colleges that your recommenders have provided support that is candid and truthful.
