It depends. You’re allowed to request and get copies of your letters of recommendation unless you’ve signed a waiver giving away your right to access them (you can still ask for the names of the references).
If your letters are used for any reason other than as a recommendation, you can get copies of them regardless of whether you signed a waiver.
Your school can’t require that you sign a waiver in order to be accepted, receive financial aid or any other services.
