Columbia University requires all incoming students to complete a credentials verification process for letters of reference and all post-secondary transcripts and degrees awarded. Instructions will be sent prior to your enrollment. For detailed information, please refer to our Credentials Verification page.
Columbia GSAS has contracted with Re Vera Services to assist with the verification of your letters of recommendation. We strongly suggest that you notify your recommenders that Re Vera will be contacting them to confirm that they have submitted letters for your application.
You may be contacted by a representative from Re Vera Services if they have any questions or need your assistance in reaching your recommender. Your timely replies to any such inquiries are required as part of the credentials-verification process.
