There are two different experiences when processing a student's Letter of Recommendation.
-
For all staff that work for enabled schools in the district, the process is fully managed on the MajorClarity site.
-
For staff at other non-enabled schools in the district and non-staff recommenders, the process is handled through email and does not appear on the Recommendation Request tab in MajorClarity.
A Student has selected your name from the list of staff
-
Once a student submits the request, you'll receive an email alert and onsite notification.
-
You'll then navigate to the Recommendation Requests tab to start the process. This tab is also where you will manage all of your letters of recommendation.
-
You'll see the request in the Your Requests to Submit section at the top of the page.
-
Click Send Recommendation Letter.
-
Choose the file (letter of recommendation) you'd like to upload. The file must be PDF format.
-
Upload the document and click Send.
-
Alternatively, you can click Mark as In Progress only if you plan to fulfill the Letter of Recommendation outside the MajorClarity platform.
-
If you choose to go this route, click Mark As Submitted once you have finished uploading the letter on another site. This will let the student know it's been completed.
Status definitions

A Student has manually typed in your name and email because you are an 'out of school' recommender
-
Once a student submits the request, you'll receive an email alerting you of the request and access to the form to submit their letter of recommendation.
-
The email will show the student's name and include a link so that you can process a letter of recommendation via an anonymous, non-logged-in MajorClarity page.
-
Click the link within the email.
-
Choose the file (letter of recommendation) you'd like to upload. The file must be a PDF format.
-
You will receive an email confirmation once you've submitted the document.
-
The last line of text will confirm the letter has been submitted successfully: THIS RECOMMENDATION REQUEST IS BEING PROCESSED ELECTRONICALLY
