1. How the Letter of Recommendation Process Works
Your letters of recommendation (a minimum of two) must be submitted directly by your referees. Once you have validated your application — including payment of the application fee — your referees will receive a unique code allowing them to upload their letter securely to your application profile. They will also receive an automatic email with full instructions. If they experience any difficulty, please contact the admissions team at admission.masters@tsaae.fr.
It is advisable to validate your application a few days in advance so that your referees have enough time to upload their letters.
If your referee encounters a problem, they may exceptionally send their letter directly to lor-masters@tsaae.fr.

2. Follow‑up and Monitoring by the Admissions Team
The admissions team monitors applications regularly. They can resend the automatic email to your referees as a reminder and can confirm when your application is complete. Please note that response times may vary depending on the number of applications being processed.
In the days following the application deadline, you will be notified by email if any documents are missing. Depending on the nature of the missing document(s), a short extension may be granted in exceptional circumstances. For any further questions, please contact admission.masters@tsaae.fr.
