Interfolio

The Graduate Center has partnered with the credentials management service, Interfolio Inc., to offer current and former students a more efficient and effective way of managing dossier files. This partnership will offer online storage and access to dossier materials, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Interfolio is an excellent way to store and deliver materials to an academic committee. Student credentials will be sent out in a professional package that comes with its own customized cover sheet. Robust technological safeguards keep documents private and safe. Interfolio has a partnership with the Inside Higher Ed that will enable students to apply for jobs electronically, via Inside Higher Ed, at no charge.

Letters of recommendation can either be submitted electronically to Interfolio on behalf of your students or submitted to the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs, who, in turn, will forward to Interfolio. In addition, recommenders will have access to all letters that have been uploaded in Interfolio. Original documents may be easily retrieved so that you can edit and update them.

We are excited about Interfolio and we hope that you will take advantage of this new service that we are providing. For more information about Interfolio, I encourage you to visit their website: http://www.interfolio.com/
