Letters of Evaluation Online (LEO)

The Career Center is pleased to announce our new partnership with Interfolio, a Washington, D.C. based provider of credential processing services. Interfolio will replace the Career Center’s LEO service which is being discontinued due to budget and efficiency constraints.

• As of January 3, 2012, no new LEO accounts will be opened.
• Effective immediately, applicants will be able to open accounts with Interfolio directly.
• All current UW applicants to graduate and professional schools, as well as applicants for higher education positions, will continue to have access to their letters in LEO until June 29, 2012. Subsequently, the LEO system will be closed. Letters in LEO will be transferred to Interfolio upon request of the applicant.
• IMPORTANT: If you are currently in the application process you may continue to have us send your letters out via LEO. However, we will no longer process requests to have letters uploaded. We will send via regular postal service, email, and UPS. You should take this into consideration as part of your decision to switch to the Interfolio service as more and more schools are requesting that letters be uploaded.

We think you will find Interfolio to be an extremely convenient and efficient resource to manage your credentials online. Here are some of the benefits of this service:

• Flexibility – As an Interfolio credential file holder, you may store and manage both confidential and non-confidential letters. You can upload documents directly into your account or mail them to Interfolio and they will upload them for you.
• Quick turnaround – Interfolio processes all delivery requests in one business day. It offers multiple mailing options, including FedEx, and electronic delivery (where available). Additionally, they offer full phone support five days a week (202.223.3358) and help requests received via email (help@interfolio.com) will be answered within one business day.
• Safe, secure, and reliable – The privacy and security of your information is Interfolio’ s highest priority. Robust technological safeguards, including multiple levels of encryption, keep your stored documents protected, secure, and private.
• Affordability – Interfolio charges only $19 to set up a 1-year account, and $6 to send out the typical application. You can pay online, using a credit card, or by check or money order.
