When you set up reference letters on the Requirements page, you have two choices for the reference letter deadline:

  • Use the Internal Submission Deadline.
  • Select a date and time after the competitions deadline to give the letter writers more time to submit their letters.


The deadline you select will automatically populate in the Email and instructions for Letter Writers box for the letter writers, and you can give more details to the applicants in the Additional Instructions for Applicants box: 


Admin view of reference letter set-up on Requirement page. Letter Deadline section highlighted by red outlined box, wit date and time selected below. Text box with "Email Instructions for Letter Writers" as sentence highlighted: "The deadline for your submitted reference letter is 10/10/2019 at 11:59 PM."


Reference letter writers will not be able to submit letters after the letter submission deadline. However, administrators can edit the deadline by editing it on the Requirements page at any time to extend the letter deadline.
