“Other Recommender” form trouble; please help

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

  1. Does anyone have access to the “other recommender” form from the common app? My daughter’s “other recommendations” did not upload. Her counselor is stumped. Her recommenders will need to email or mail them to her schools.

  2. Can anyone please comment on the following -
    Is it possible that the other recommendation from my daughter’s performing arts teacher would not upload because it was actually a teacher recommender form and not an other recommender form?

The school uses Naviance to assign recommendations and this particular teacher completed a teacher recommendation for schools that will accept a third teacher recommendation. Her teacher recommendation uploaded to the schools where she was assigned as a teacher recommender.

However, for schools that only accept two recommendations, my daughter’s counselor said it was ok to submit this teacher as an “other recommender.” But, her recommendation never uploaded even though the counselor assigned her as an other recommender through Naviance. I’m wondering if it may be because it’s in the wrong format? Am I on the right track?

PS. this teacher also my daughter’s drama coach, theater director so fits into “other” category.
Thank you!

I have the form now so please disregard Question 1.

I guess the shorter version of question 2 is how can a student use the same Arts teacher as a “teacher recommender” for some colleges and as an “other recommender” for different colleges? Again, the school uses Naviance which seems to throw a wrench into simply adding the Arts teacher as an “other recommender” on the common app.

Anyone?

Thanks so much!
