Recommendation Confusion

[_477_652_305_647_596_477_ds_633_477]

<p>So i have two teachers to write my recommendations. Now I know that I should give them the option of doing it online or mailing it. The trouble is that I am completely confused on how to do either way. </p>

<ol>
<li><p>For mail
|I give the teacher an addressed stamped envelope for each college, with the TE form.
-Do i give them a form for each college or do I ask them to just photocopy one?
-What envelope size should I give them?
-Should i give them envelopes for only colleges that I plan to apply early to now or should I give them an envelope for all my RD colleges even though I might not be applying to them pending ED and EA decisions </p></li>
<li><p>Online
I am completely lost with this way. I can’t seem to find where I can “invite” the teacher to complete the rec online. </p></li>
</ol>

<p>I would appreciate any help</p>

</p>

<p>They can photocopy. You could also just ask them.</p>

<p>

-What envelope size should I give them?

</p>

<p>Regular size…?</p>

<p>

-Should i give them envelopes for only colleges that I plan to apply early to now or should I give them an envelope for all my RD colleges even though I might not be applying to them pending ED and EA decisions

</p>

<p>Whatever you want, right? Just talk to your teachers about it.</p>

2. Online
   I am completely lost with this way. I can’t seem to find where I can “invite” the teacher to complete the rec online.

</p>

<p>School forms > Select a college > Invite</p>

<p>If you don’t see the button, read the following from the [Common</a> App Support Center FAQ](<a href=“http://s3.parature.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=5524]Common”>http://s3.parature.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=5524):

Can’t invite a counselor or teacher on the School Forms page</p>

<p>If there is no Invite button on the School Forms page, it is likely your school is a Naviance member and the forms are filled out there or you are a Transfer student (forms are offline via paper). Please refer to the instructions on this page for further direction. You may also talk with your counselor for more information.

<p>Yea I’m doing online too and my school has Naviance. So I guess I input my teachers on Naviance and they fill out their rec through that.</p>
