A credential file contains letters of recommendation that can be sent to potential employers and graduate schools. There is a $35 registration fee, which covers the first three mailings or the first six emailed files. Additional mailings can be done for a fee. Once you’ve established a file, it remains active for the duration of your career life; updated letters can be added at any time.
