This guide shows you how to see all your Teacher Recommendation letter requests and their statuses from one place in your Advisor dashboard.
Step 1: From your dashboard, click on Recommendations in the left-hand, then select the All recommenders tab at the top.
In this view, you can view key details such as the recommender's name and email, the number of requests sent, and the status of each request (completed, pending, or in progress).
Step 2: If you're looking for a specific teacher, use the search bar above the recommenders list and search by their name or email address to quickly find them.
Click the View recommender button next to a teacher's name to open a detailed view of their recommendation requests.
This table lists each student they've been asked to write for, the status of each request (e.g. "Recommendation complete" or "Request sent to recommender"), and a link to the completed PDF once a recommendation has been submitted by a teacher.
FAQs:
What to do if a teacher can't find the email inviting them to write a recommendation?
There is currently no option to resend a recommendation-request email directly from BridgeU. If a teacher can't find or access the original invitation, you can use one of the following options:
Ask the teacher to log in directly:
The student or counselor can contact the teacher directly to let them know that a recommendation request is waiting for them. The teacher can then log in to BridgeU at https://app.bridge-u.com/ using their existing login. The recommendation request will be available in their account even if they cannot access the original invitation email.Remove and re-add the recommender:
If the teacher still can't access the request, the advisor can remove the recommender from the student's Documents page and add them again. This will trigger a new invitation email to be sent to the teacher.
