Dossier Service

Dossier_Service  

The Emory University Career Center provides a dossier service to BA (Educational Studies), M.A.T., MA/MS and Ph.D. Candidates ONLY.

Establishing a dossier file will enable you to present an effective and attractive credential package to prospective employers. A central location eliminates unnecessary duplication of materials, avoids repeated calls to those preparing recommendations for you, and ensures prompt and accurate mailings. To constitute a Dossier file, you must submit the following:

Once your file is complete, and upon receipt of a request submitted through Emory Dossier Central (EDC), your credentials will be mailed to potential employers in the educational sector only.  A file will not be considered "complete" unless it contains a all of the above documents and other supplemental material being requested. It is the student's responsibility to contact the Career Center and verify receipt of his/her documents by checking Emory Dossier Central.

ALL evaluations are confidential. Under the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (Buckley Amendment), a student has the right to inspect and review letters of reference in his/her placement file, written on or after January 1, 1975. Therefore, it should be decided whether or not you wish to waive your right to inspect each evaluation and this fact must be indicated on your registration form as well as communicated with your evaluators.

Evaluations are important components of a dossier file. Please select those professors, practicum supervisors, and/or employers who are familiar with your skills and background.

Transcripts can be included in your file; however, it is your responsibility to request an official transcript from the Registrar's office. You may call the registrar's office at 404-727-6042 to obtain more information on the procedure and cost of having transcripts sent.

Procedures for Mailing Credentials
A $30 fee will be charged to establish a new file. This fee will cover your first ten (10) mailing requests. Beyond the initial ten (10), a $5.00 fee will be charged per request. All requests must be made in through the Emory Dossier Central (EDC)-- (NO E-MAIL, PHONE OR WRITTEN REQUESTS WILL BE PROCESSED). Dossier files will be mailed out within five to seven business days after receipt of the request, payment and all requested documents.

Requests may be paid by check or money order made payable to Emory University. The Career Center is unable to accept cash payments. Files will not be sent out until proper fees have been paid.

Additional materials, i.e., writing samples, abstracts, etc., may be mailed along with the dossier file. All documents must be sent in as a hard copy. We cannot accept emailed documents.
