Using a Teacher Recommender as Other Recommeder

My son’s Music teacher was added under “Teacher” recommender for one of his schools. She has submitted her recommendation and it is showing as downloaded. Some of the colleges he has applied to only allow for 2 spots for a teacher recommender, but then allow assignment for 2 other spots under “Other Recommender”, so he assigned her there as well, however, for the second assignment, it doesn’t show the recommendation as downloaded. Will the Admissions Office see be able to view her recommendation when it was originally submitted as a “Teacher Recommender”?

I’m not understanding the question.

So he assigned her to both “teacher” and “other” for the same college? Is that even systemically possible?

Anyway, let me answer with what I think you are asking: College portals do not always update in real time. Additionally, at some colleges, they do not update the portal with optional items - extra recs, portfolios, non-required test scores, etc. even if they have been received and added to the file for review. Your kid can always just contact the college to ensure they received all info sent.
