How can I tell if I entered correct contact details for referee?

You can view your referee details in Imperial Gateway:

• Log into your Imperial Gateway account
• Scroll down to the My Applications section
• Click on 'View' under the Track Application section
• Click on Supporting Documents & References and scroll down to the Reference Requests section

How we will contact your referee

On your application form, you will need to provide the contact details of two referees (one of which must be academic).

When you submit your form, the online application system will send an automatic reference request directly to their professional email accounts so they can submit their recommendation letter quickly and efficiently online.

You can view the status of your reference request in your Imperial Gateway.

If you referee has not submitted their reference and you want to re-send the request, you can do this in your Imperial Gateway account as outlined below:

• Log into your Imperial Gateway account
• Scroll down to the My Applications section
• Click on 'View' under the Track Application heading
• Click on the Supporting Documents & References heading and scroll down to the Reference Requests section
• Click on Resend next to the appropriate reference request – this will send your referee the reference request email again

Please note that reference requests can only be resent once every 24 hours. If you have already resent the request within the last 24 hours, the resend button will not be visible.

Nominating a new referee

If you have been informed that your referee is unable to submit a reference for you, you can also cancel a reference request in the above section and then fill in the details of a new referee.

My referee has made an error and needs to re-submit their reference

If your referee has already submitted via our system, but made an error in the document they uploaded, they will need to send a corrected version of the reference letter to admissions.enquiries@imperial.ac.uk. This should be sent from an appropriate professional email address.
