What is a Confidential Reference Letter?
A confidential reference letter is one that is written on the form provided by the Career Development Office with the statement of waiver on the back signed by you. If you decide to ask for a confidential reference letter, the Career Development Office will not be able to give you access to the contents of that particular letter. The CDO staff cannot discuss the specific contents with you or tell you whether or not it is a “good” letter.
