Configure LOR Settings for a FlexApp
For each FlexApp in Unite, you can add multiple settings to manage different requirements for letters of recommendation. The following table provides a description of each LOR setting you can configure.
Setting |
Description |
|---|---|
| Start Date | The Start Date list box determines the month, day, and year the setting becomes active. |
| Minimum Number of LORs Required | The Minimum Number of LORs Required list box determines the minimum number of LORs candidates must include with their applications. |
| Maximum Number of LORs Accepted | The Maximum Number of LORs Accepted list box determines the maximum number of LORs candidates can include with their applications. |
| 1st Time Report Options | The 1st Time Report Options list box determines how you want LORs treated with CAS reports. If you select Do not send any letters, LSAC does not include LORs with CAS reports. If you select Hold until the number of LORs are received, LSAC does not send CAS reports until candidates have provided the minimum number of LORs. If you select All available letters, LSAC includes any LORs the candidate has provided at the time the first CAS report is sent. |
| Letters of Recommendations Instructions | The Letters of Recommendations Instructions text box presents instructions to candidates regarding the LOR requirements. |
Each LOR setting must have a unique start date. If you add multiple settings, the end date is the start date of the next sequential setting. LOR settings appear in a list grid that you can organize by sorting, filtering, and grouping columns. You can also export the list of settings to an .XLSX file or .PDF file. The steps for configuring an LOR setting differ depending on whether you want to add, edit, or delete the setting.
