My recommender is having issues loading in my letter. How can I help them?
You'll want to confirm that your recommender is using the most recent request for recommendation email. Reminder emails give a new link, which makes an older email obsolete. They are also welcome to send their letter on official letterhead in PDF format to sieml@ucop.edu. Please ask them to use their professional email address for correspondence.
