You do not need to log into an InfoReady account in order to submit a reference letter. Here's how it works:


When an applicant lists you as a reference, you will receive an email like the one below. 

Reference letter request


Click the Start Letter button.

  • You'll be taken to a submission page like the one shown below. 
  • Important: Do not try to log in or register for an account.  
  • Follow the instructions at the top of the page.
  • Upload your letter by clicking the Choose File button. 
  • Follow the prompts to upload your letter and then click the Submit button. 


Note: If the due date for the letter request has passed, when you click the “Start Letter” button, you will be notified of the deadline and will not be able to submit using this process. In cases like these, please reach out to InfoReady Support, so we can connect you with the opportunity administrator. 

Submit a Reference Letter page


You'll know you have completed the process when you see the following message highlighted in green:


Green confirmation message: Your reference letter was submitted! Thank you for taking the time to submit a reference letter on behalf of this Applicant.


You can also forward the reference request email to another person if you want that person to submit the letter on your behalf. For example, a faculty member may request that a department administrator upload the letter on the faculty member's behalf.
