Recommendation Forms Guide

Approved Recommendation Forms from two references are required for admission to the credential program. 

Step 1: Send the Link to Your References

Step 2: Program Application Attachment

• If your reference has opted into sharing the form results with you, a copy of their response will be sent to you via email. Upload this copy to your Program Application.
• FTRP/VTRP Applicants: If you attach your acceptance email from Fresno Unified or Visalia Unified, we will accept this as an attachment instead of the Recommendation Form. Upload your acceptance email to both Recommendation Form slots of the Program Application.
• Recommendations are valid for 1 year from the date that they were originally submitted.
• If you have letters of recommendation instead of our Recommendation Forms, we will accept these as long as they have not expired.

Recommendation Form Troubleshooting

• If your reference did not opt into sharing the form results with you, a copy was sent directly to Credential Admissions. Please contact your reference to make sure this was the case. If it was, you may upload a PDF to the Recommendation Form slot of the Program Application that states that your reference did not share their results with you. Credential Admissions will upload your official document when they receive your application.
• If your reference opted into sharing the results with you, and you never received a copy, please double-check your Spam folder and all email accounts in case you did not see it come through. If you still cannot locate it, please contact kremencredapp@mail.fresnostate.edu for assistance.
