Important Dates
All counselor-provided materials (school report form, recommendation form, etc.) are also due by this date.
Please encourage your students to complete and submit the “School Information” and “Recommendation” sections of their applications first. This gives you time to finish your materials by the application deadline. Skipping around the application is allowed; they don’t have to complete their application in order.
IF THE STUDENT LISTS YOU AS A COUNSELOR:
The student enters the name and email address of his or her counselor as part of their application. Once entered, the counselor receives an email with instructions for completing an online school report form for their student.
IF THE STUDENT LISTS YOU AS A RECOMMENDER:
The student enters the name and email address of his or her recommender as part of their application. Once entered, the recommender receives an email with instructions for uploading a recommendation form in the form.
Both the school report form and recommendation emails are sent from selections@moreheadcain.org and indicate “Morehead-Cain” as the sender. Nominees may input the same person as his or her counselor and recommender. If you use a spam-blocking tool, please add this email address to your list of known or safe addresses.
