I'm hearing various things on this, notably that

1)You have to send scans of the references away with your initial application. No reference letter scans means your application is incomplete.
2) Then when you send your docs away you have to send away reference letters that are signed and sealed. If they are not then they may be rejected.

To me this sounds incredibly logically backwards and is physically impossible to do without opening the letter, scanning it and then sealing it and forging a signature - which is a minor crime

In the past sealed reference letter had to be sent off I think.

This year you just need to send scans and take the non-sealed hard copy with you.

Take your references. Put them in envelopes. Seal them. Done.

I used two different types of envelopes for my 2 references.

The reference letters need to be signed but not sealed (for the term that just ended).
The scanned reference has to be the same as the reference sent in with docs. For the reference that is sent in it must be the original (no copies).
To be safe you can just put it in an envelope for them. EPIK is very picky about having things the way they want it.

Thanks, I finally got my references from my employer today, everything looks fine on it, except that its missing a contact number(there is the employers contact address, but no telephone number). Would it be okay just to write the number on it?

I really dont want to go through the process of trying to get another reference letter out of them as it took 6 weeks for them just to get around to doing that one.

For my references I'm thinking of having a professor from my university to do one and as for my second another professor from my German university from when I studied abroad last year. Do you guys think this is ok? I'm currently unemployed so I cannot get one from an employer.
