How do I obtain an official transcript?
A.  

The Cornell Registrar will send an official transcript upon request free of charge.

Yes, along with an explanation of the relationship between Cornell and Interfolio.


I'm a grad student, and I want my advisor/placement officer/DGS to have access to the contents of my file. How will this work?
A.  

Request that Interfolio distribute a copy of your file to your advisor/placement officer/DGS.


What if my letter writers don't want to submit their recommendations electronically?
A.  

Although your references can register (at no charge) with Interfolio and send their letters via the Internet, they aren’t obligated to do so. Letters can also be submitted by U.S. Mail.


What if my references have concerns about Interfolio?
A.  

They have some choices. They can send their letters directly to the schools or employers, or, perhaps more conveniently, to Interfolio. Cornell Career Services considered extensive input from faculty members before deciding to use Interfolio, and we’ve informed all Cornell departments about this service. If your references have any questions, we’ll be glad to advise them
