Letter of Recommendation
The Morehead Honors College transfer application requires a letter of recommendation from one of your college instructors. You will be prompted to enter the name and official college/university email address of your recommender when filling out your application in InfoReady. Please be sure to follow the instructions for this portion of the application carefully, and please be mindful that the Morehead Honors College will not contact instructors to obtain a letter of recommendation on your behalf if one is not received by the application due date.
Once a letter of recommendation request is sent from your application, your instructor will receive the request via an email from [email protected].
