· No references (not even bad ones..!?) will be given for those who are seeking an MBA degree, or especially for those who are attending the same level program in our department, e.g. do not request a letter for another MS/PhD program if you are already an MS/PhD student in our department.
· Properly fill all the fields of the Reference Letter (RL) request form, available at my web page. Incomplete RL request forms will simply be thrown away..!
· Plan ahead..! RL’s will be returned to you at least a week later.
· You have to donate at least 500 A4 size papers (bir top) for every one-to-three RL’s for our use in NETLAB (we always have a shortage of paper..!). You must also do this if your RL’s are entered into a web based RL system.
· Make sure that all of the necessary original RL forms and one envelope per RL are ready. All envelopes must contain the adresses of the sender and the recipient and also the name of the student in the lower left corner.
· Fill in all of the information related to M. Ufuk Çağlayan on the original RL forms except the date and the signature. The information you may need is given below.

· When you come to pick your RL’s, you will have to lick and seal the envelopes yourself, then M. Ufuk Çağlayan will sign the envelopes to complete the procedure.
· Requesting an RL implies that you have read this procedure completely and accepted the terms, which includes a promise of giving a party with Venus’s cakes and beverages after you receive an acceptance letter from one of the candidate organizations (universities, companies) for your graduate study, scholarship, summer training position, etc.
