<p>On the Common App for transfers, school forms are not submitted electronically, but you have to print them out and give them to your professors. I personally do not trust my professors/counselor whom I don't know that well (my school has 50,000 students) to make copies and mail them out to the six schools Im applying to for transfer. Therefore, I just asked them to write it out once and give it back to me so I could make copies myself and send it out. Therefore I can't really waive my access because I will be handling the forms. Is this bad? What do I do?</p>
<p>You don’t have to waive your rights. Lots of people don’t. Even when people do waive their rights, many referees discuss the content of the letter with the applicant or give the applicant a copy of the letter. I always do!</p>
<p>What you do need to find out, is if the places that you are applying to have specific requirements as to how the letters are to be submitted. They may want an original signature, or they may want the letter to come to them in a separate envelope that has the referee’s signature across the seal on the back, or they may have yet another system. Be sure to comply with their requirements and everything will be OK.</p>
<p>You could have professors return the letters to you in a sealed envelope (with their signature over the seal), and then you send the sealed envelope to admissions.</p>
