What should I do if my recommender says they completed the form, but my Applicant Center says it's not submitted?
The status you see on the Recommenders Card always matches what we have in our records. If you see ""Update Info"" and a bell icon next to your recommender's name, that is the indicator that they have not yet submitted the Online Recommendation Form.
You'll want to reach out to your recommender to request that they access the form again via their link and attempt to submit. You can also send an automated reminder by clicking the bell icon next to their name.
Often, a field is left blank which will prevent the form from submitting. Your recommender will also receive an email confirming their successful submission.
If your recommender has issues with submitting, have them contact us at recommendations@teachforamerica.org
