You may request your references to be returned to you, however, if you waive your right to view the
recommendation it must be returned to you in a sealed envelope with the signature of the individual giving
the reference across the bottom of the seal.
The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) permits college and seminary students to view
materials contained in his/her education record. Letters of reference are discarded upon acceptance to Richmont and
are not considered part of the student’s record.
Because some individuals may be hesitant to write a letter of recommendation if confidentiality is not guaranteed,
students may choose to waive the right to view letters of recommendation. Signing such a waiver is not required nor
is it a condition of admission to Richmont.
After all the materials have been received, you will be notified. ASSUME THAT YOUR APPLICATION IS
INCOMPLETE UNTIL YOU HAVE A WRITTEN NOTICE SAYING THAT ALL MATERIALS HAVE
BEEN RECEIVED. You are encouraged to inquire if you think your application should be complete, but you have
not been notified to this effect.
HANDLING OF APPLICATION: Soon after it is complete, your application will be given a preliminary review. If
it is clear that we will not be able to accept you, you will be notified as soon as possible. If we are able to consider
you for admittance to Richmont, further review of your file will be required.
