Due to severe increase and abuse by students sending generic requests to
many people, we can no longer filter spam from serious requests.
The following guidelines must be followed to apply to LASEC or to request
a support letter.
Any other request may just be discarded without any notification.
We do apologize to serious students for this additional burden.
We do assure that we will treat and answer their request in due course.
