As part of your application, you will provide two references (the application asks for their contact information — after that’s provided, we will email a short reference form that they can fill out and send back).
For your academic reference, you may choose any teacher who has given you a grade within the last two years, including high school teachers.
For the character reference, each situation is different. Typically, you choose a respected person who can attest to your good character with authority, who is not related to you. Religious leaders (bishop, pastor, preacher, etc), are a great option for this. However, managers, coaches, mentors, and others who have worked closely with you work as well.
