College letters of recommendation are a very important part of the college admissions selection process. Some colleges have early decision or priority deadlines of November 1^st. Many regular decision deadlines are December 1^st and then generally the final deadlines are January 15^th. Each student is responsible for meeting their College Application deadlines.

Important message for seniors and their parents: If you are applying to a four-year college that requires a letter of recommendation from your counselor, we need 4 weeks notice to write a letter for you. Holiday breaks do not count, which means, if you have a letter of recommendation due on January 15th, we need to have your request by December 1st. If you have any questions, please contact your Counselor.
If you are applying to a UC and/or CSU campus, all applications are due by November 30^th, however, letter of recommendations are not required. They may request transcripts. Please check individual UC/CSU websites for more information. All UC/CSU applications are completed on their websites.
