Changing referee email address?

[farak]

Hi everyone,

One of my referees has lost access to his email account. Don't really know the specifics, but received an email addressed to the admission's office that also cc-ed me. He asks the admissions office send the recommendation request to his other account, his official email address (@gov). He is a government minister and his time is PRECIOUS. If they don't send the recommendation request to his other address, I am afraid he won't be able to recommend me. And I will scr*d. Forget acceptance, forget gradschool!!!! What do I do?? The recommendations are due this Friday, Dec. 14. He is the only one left to complete my application.

Please help!!! Is there any hope for me?

Not sure where you are applying but can't you just logon to the online application page, find recommenders and change his e-mail address? This worked for all of my applications when I sent one of the apps to an old e-mail...

That actually worked! Thanks, cherub.

I was freaking out. The application deadline already passed. This school gives the referees additional time to submit their LoRs. I thought I could no longer modify anything on my application. But I was wrong. Thanks again.
