FERPA Agreement
• Be sure to print the
FERPA form and return
to counselor and/or teachers
to waive your right to access
letter.
• No counselor or teacher can write you a letter of
recommendation without this form on file.
• Students who do not waive their right will receive a
generic, neutral letter.
To find the teacher
and counselor brag
packets, click on the
“about me” tab.
Click on the brag
packet to the left
that you wish to
complete first.
Complete every
question and pay
close attention to
deadlines.
For a teacher
recommendation,
be sure to
complete all the
questions as well.
For questions that ask for
specifics in a class, use
separate paragraphs for
each teacher and devote
equal time to both.
Once your brag
packets are done,
return to your college
list and scroll down to
the bottom and click
on “add/cancel
requests”.
Select your teachers
and counselors from the
pull down menu here.
This will send them an
email notifying them that
the brag packet is done.
Be sure to ask them in
person first, before
sending the email, as
a courtesy.
Don’t forget to select
“Update Requests”
once your teachers
and counselor have
been selected.
Requesting Letters of
Recommendation
• Once again, you MUST speak with the recommender
(i.e. teacher or counselor) before requesting him/her
in Naviance and submit the signed FERPA
agreement form.
• The Counseling website is a great resource for
information.
• Check “12th Graders” tab frequently for updates.
• Counselors will present to all Senior English classes
in September with more details.
