<p>One of the teachers I requested write a recommendation for me is not teaching this semester. So, I have been communicating with him via email. I asked him to fill out the Common App teacher rec. form (thinking I could meet up with him somewhere to get it), but instead, he emailed me the form. While this is no problem to me, all the fields have not been filled out by hand, but rather by computer. Is it okay for me to send it to my school like this, or do things like this need to be handwritten and sealed in an envelope?</p>
<p>PS
I have not signed the section that waives my right to read the rec. or filled out my personal info at the top.</p>
<p>I would send it and either have your teacher contact the school via email about it or if the school would have a problem, they would probably contact him directly.</p>
<p>If you're really worried about it, then tell him to write it by hand and send it to you in the mail. Maybe you could send him an envelope and postage so he wouldn't have to pay anything.</p>
<p>1.) You might call the schools and ask. Then, if they say he needs to send it directly, at least it will come directly from them. Maybe he can email it directly to them. Or, as ATB suggested, you can send him the addressed envelope and postage. At that time, you can send a copy of the form with your personal info completed and ask him to just clip his copy to it.</p>
<p>2.) You could print out his email, create a form with your personal info on it, and clip the printed form from him to your page. Then mail to the school.</p>
<p>As long as his contact info (e-mail, phone number, position at the school) is on the form, I'd just send them off. If there's any issue, the school will be able to contact him. You haven't done anything dishonest, and if they ask him, he'll explain the situation. No worries.</p>
