Why open an account?
  Applying to graduate and professional schools can be overwhelming! Getting letters for academic employment can be frustrating and time consuming for you and your letter-writers. Let the UCI Career Center assist you in housing those important Letters of Recommendation! We make it easy for you to:
  • Apply to numerous institutions
  • Avoid losing letters in the process of moving
  • Save letters until you need to use them
  • Allow faculty and administrators with busy schedules to write one letter to be used multiple times
  • Relieve the burden of your letter writers of individually addressing letters for each position/school for which you apply
  • Be assured of the confidentiality and prompt mailing of your letters
How much is it going to cost?
  There is a one-time LOR file setup fee of $30 for currently enrolled UCI students and UCI alumni. Below are the fees involved when requests are made to mail the letters to academic institutions. If your LOR file has been closed or terminated, the set-up fee will be charged again to establish a new file. (See Service Contract Item 8).

Mailing Fees:
Standard Processing (within 3 to 5 business days*)
  Domestic $5
  International $10		 
Federal Express (Requests into the Career Center by 9am PST are out by 3pm PST)
  Domestic $25
  International $35		 
SPECIAL HANDLING: This includes (but is not limited to) special forms, special deliveries, and other special services. An additional $5 will be added to the mailing fee whether it is Standard Processing or FedEx delivery. For example, a domestic FedEx request requiring Special Handling would cost $25 + $5 = $30. We reserve the right to impose the Special Handling fee/charge on any processing of letters requiring handling that is not part of the standard processing described. Examples of "Special Handling:"
  • "RUSH" 2 business days* processing (for Standard Processing requests)
  • Requests for letters to be arranged in a specified order
  • Inclusion of application or supplemental documents**
*A business day is defined as any date that the LOR-Online Service is processing requests. Business days do not include weekends, University holidays or any other scheduled dates when the UCI Career Center is closed.
For any self-managed applications (where the application must be sent together with letters of recommendation) or any requests that require special forms or additional information (such as the LSDAS I-9, VMCAS, AADSAS form, or the AMCAS application ID) you will be charged the "Special Handling" fee. Please make sure that the LOR-Online Service has received these supplemental forms before submitting a request online. It is your responsibility to select these matching forms by their letter number when making a request.
