FAQ Providing References
Note:
From December 2010 I leave the employment of the University of Sussex.
I can still provide references for former students, though an instant
response is not always guaranteed!
Will I write a reference for you?
If you are a former student of mine, then yes I will write a
reference for you if you provide me the relevant information.
What I need
I need all this information in a single email, or other single
document: previous experience has shown that when I have to struggle to
collate information from different sources, this is likely to lead to
delays ...
- Your full name, year(s) of study at Sussex, preferably your
registration number.
- Course(s) taken, where possible grade(s) received.
- To whom [full details] is the
reference to be addressed.
- How is it to be sent -- email, web access, snail mail,
combination of these?
- Is it to be sent now, or should I wait to
receive a request from them?
- What is the deadline for them to receive it?
- Is there online information, eg job advertisement, where I can
see what they are asking for?
- What further background information can you give me that is
relevant?
