Completing Your Undergraduate Application

• How do I send the recommendation(s) to Gonzaga?

• Recommenders may send letters via the Common Application or email them to admissions@gonzaga.edu. Please note, we require that the recommender email the letter, not the student.

• How do I have a recommendation letter sent via Common Application?

• Applicants must indicate on the Common Application their recommender’s name and email address, which will then allow them to submit their letter of recommendation directly to the Common Application.

• Who should I ask to write my letter of recommendation? 

• Recommenders can be any teacher who has taught the applicant in high school, though we recommend the teacher be from a core-subject area and one with whom the applicant has a strong relationship.

• Homeschooled Students: Recommenders cannot be related to you, even if they are your instructor. Letters of Recommendation can come from an employer, Community College teacher, Pastor, etc.

• How should I ask them to write a letter?

• We advise applicants to have a conversation with their desired recommenders about their request, to ensure that the recommender is aware of this ask and has the capacity to write the letter. Once this is done, applicants can request through the Common App.
