2\. An email from the student containing a list of positions to which they are applying, including links to the job/fellowship/program postings.  
  
3\. Letterhead and envelopes from whichever department they'd like the letter sent.  
  
4\. An electronic signature.  
  
5\. Any email they receive from institutions directing them to online submissions.

###  Deadlines:

 1. All necessary text and information should be provided no fewer than 5 business days prior to the posted deadline. Text or other required information received fewer than 5 business days before the deadline CANNOT BE GUARANTEED to arrive in time.  
  
2\. Late-arriving requests for recommendations will be sent in as timely a manner as possible and cannot be guaranteed to arrive by the deadline.  
  
3\. Links for submitting electronic recommendations expire on the deadline. Once a link has expired, the letter can no longer be submitted. In the event a link has expired, ASG Faculty Assistant will attempt to send letters via email to the appropriate recipient.
