The AU Career Center has partnered with Interfolio, the premier online credential file management service for colleges and universities, so that you can manage, store and distribute your letters of recommendation and other credentials for postgraduate study or teaching positions. Interfolio’s self-managed service lets you do everything by yourself, anytime. With your online account, you are in complete control of your credentials file, so the process of storing documents and applying to any institution or position will be quicker and easier. You may store and manage both confidential and non-confidential letters. You can also store nearly any type of document with Interfolio: writing samples, articles, test scores, unofficial transcripts and whatever you need to have a complete application package. You can upload documents directly into your account or mail them to Interfolio and they will upload them for you. Interfolio processes all delivery requests in one business day. It offers multiple mailing options, including FedEx, and electronic delivery (where available). Additionally, help requests received via email (help@interfolio.com) will be answered within one business day. 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. A rigorous quality control process ensures the accuracy of all documents and mailings, and digital backups are stored at a secure, off-site location to further protect your important documents.

Interfolio charges only $15 to set up a 1-year account, and $5 to send out the typical application. You can pay online, using a credit card, or by check or money order.
