How does a referee resubmit a letter?
To resubmit a letter (i.e., replace original letter submitted), the referee needs to know the Reference Letter Confirmation Number. On the Reference Letter screen in Commons: , the referee enters all the required fields, the confirmation number and clicks on Continue. The referee is then taken to a second screen where he/she can upload the revised letter. Once the revised letter is uploaded, it overrides the first submitted letter. Note: It is extremely important that the referee use the confirmation number in submitting the revised reference letter. Applicants are allowed only a specific number of reference letters and if the referee submits a second letter without entering the confirmation number, both letters will be counted towards the number of letters allowed the applicant.
