Need Dean's Recs be mailed in official college envelopes?

<p>Hello, hello! I've a question -- my advisor recently notified me that my Dean's Rec forms were ready for pickup. I am assuming that means I am to mail the forms myself to my prospective unis, and I am wondering if that's a proper way to do it. </p>

<p>Technically, aren't I not supposed to see my Advisor's comments, and shouldn't the part of the app completed by college officials be delivered in official stationery/envelopes?</p>

<p>I'll gladly pay for stamps and all, but please advise, is it okay for me to handle the documents myself?</p>

<p>Thanks for your help!</p>

<p>Why aren’t you technically allowed to see your Advisor’s comments? I’ve never heard that. Personally, I’m happy they gave me the form so I can keep track of it and all that.</p>

<p>I don’t really know, I assumed that based on other types of recommendation, seeing as on the College Official’s Rec there are many questions concerning the student’s character and whatnot. I might be wrong, that’s why I ask.</p>

<p>Thanks for the input!</p>

<p>My old college sent that form for me. I assume if you pick up those forms they will be in sealed envelopes.</p>
