Below is a summary of program policies related to the submission of reference (letter) packets from college and university letter services to PTCAS. Carefully review the program pages and reference summary table for important information about reference requirements. PTCAS does not determine if you have sent the appropriate reference type or number for a particular program.
Letter packets from a college or university letter service may include composite or committee reference letters (also known as letters of evaluation).
