This status indicates that the request was sent to the reference, but they have not accepted or declined it. They must accept your request before they can submit their reference.
Accepted
This status indicates that the reference accepted your request but has not yet submitted their reference.
Completed
This status indicates that the reference completed and submitted their reference and it was sent to your program(s).
Declined
This status indicates that the reference declined your reference request. You can click Update References to add a new reference request.
Expired
This status only appears once the cycle closes. References can no longer be submitted. Review BU School of Theology Cycle Dates to learn the final dates when you can request references and your references can complete reference requests.
