How to Submit Your Academic Evaluation

Please allow 5 business days for application materials to be added to your checklist.

This submission must be completed by one or more instructors who have taught you in a full-credit college course. A high school teacher’s recommendation should not take the place of a recommendation from one of your college instructors.

In order to be considered official, your Academic Evaluation(s) must be sent using one of the following methods:

  • Postal mail or delivery service in an envelope that has been sealed by the issuing institution. 
  • Common Application recommender invitation tool on the "Recommendations" tab
  • Email message directly from the instructor to applicant@cornell.edu
