You will need to have the following sent separately:
One letter of recommendation from a sponsor within your expected practicum site/current company. This sponsor is expected to help coordinate with CSU during your practicum and serve on your advisory committee in the capacity of industry member. The letter should state both their recommendation of the applicant and agreement to serve as Practicum Sponsor. Your practicum sponsor must submit a current resume along with their recommendation so minimum sponsor requirements can be verified (can be combined into one document for upload).
Vital information about the requirements and expectations of practicum sponsors can be found on pages 4 and 5 of this application checklist.
Two additional letters of recommendation from faculty, supervisors, etc. who can speak to your relevant skills accurately and in detail.
You will add names of recommenders through the online application and they will be emailed with instructions to upload the letter. Letters directly from applicants will not be accepted. It is your responsibility to connect with your recommenders and ensure the recommendations are
submitted by the appropriate deadline.
One official transcript from every post-secondary institution attended, even those from which you did not earn a degree (transcripts from CSU are not required).
To submit official transcripts, contact your previous institutions to request they submit official transcripts to Colorado State University (use institution code 4075). If a mailing address or email address is required, use the one(s) shown on the next page.
