The overview page of your application provides the opportunity to create an invitation
for you references (recommenders). If you click the hyperlinked "Create Invitation,"
you are directed to a form whereby you can enter the names and addresses of your recommenders
along with your decision to waive the right to access the reference(s) or recommendation(s). The
form is then submitted to the University of Denver's Office of Graduate Studies which
will then send an invitation via email to your recommenders requesting the completion
of an evaluation form and optional submission of a letter of recommendation. The following
