Academic Reference Letters Template by University of Calgary

Ideally, a reference letter augments other common parts of applications: CV, personal statement/letter of
intent, interview and transcripts.

Letters of reference provide details about aspects that are not obvious on a curriculum vita or standardized test.

Rather than solely relying on the applicant’s self-reported accomplishments, reference letters offer more objective insights into the applicant’s abilities.
