Credential Files

Establishing Your Credential File

Credential files contain information prospective employers and graduate schools often request. Your complete file will include a personal data form, an unofficial transcript, faculty references, and character references. You may begin completing your credential file at any time during your college career. It is recommended that your credential file be prepared early in your senior year to ensure its readiness for employer review.

Career Services will store your credential file according to the retention policy. While a student, maintaining your information and sending your credential file is free of charge. Three months after graduation, you will be required to pay a small fee to update and send your credential file to prospective employers.

To request your credential file be sent to a prospective employer or if you have any questions in regard to the process, please do not hesitate to contact our office at (573) 288-6486 or via email at careercenter@culver.edu.
