The online application
Two academic reference letters, either through the electronic reference system in the online application or by paper
If using the e-reference system, Dalhousie University will only accept university email addresses [i.e. not Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, business, or government addresses]. Please allow 5 business days for your referee(s) to be contacted by our system.
If you are submitting a paper reference letter, it must be in a sealed, stamped envelope endorsed across the back seal by the referee and mailed to the address indicated on the form. If a referee is reluctant to follow this procedure, please provide him/her with a stamped envelope, addressed to the department to which you are applying, and have him/her mail the letter directly. If the reference is given to the student directly, do not open the envelope.
