transfer help - college report form on common app

@carterztransf honestly, now that I’m comparing Dukes instructions with the instructions listed on the actual report form I’m slightly confused as to how this works.

Duke Instructions under Documents Tab - This form should be completed by the appropriate campus official (e.g. registrar, dean, etc.) who can verify your academic and disciplinary records. The completed form should be submitted to Duke via email (undergrad-admissions@duke.edu), fax (919-668-1661), or postal mail (Duke Office of Undergraduate Admissions, 2138 Campus Drive, Box 90586, Durham, NC 27708-0586). The form can be found here.

Instructions on Common App Form - If you have access to the applicant’s academic and disciplinary records, please complete this form in its entirety. If you have access to the applicant’s academic record only, please complete the relevant portion of this form, then forward to the appropriate official for completion of the disciplinary questions, and ask that individual to mail the form to the applicant’s colleges after completion. Do not mail this form to The Common Application offices.

I’m assuming in this case a.) Duke specific instructions trump whats listed on the form and b.) A college official should be the one to submit the form via email, fax or mail.

My plan was to fill out my portion of the form and have an official fill out the remainder then submit it to all required schools during a counseling appointment next week. This way I can guarantee its done and not sit wondering when the person might get around to it. I believe, again could be wrong since this is all new to me, that no matter the method of submission it should still be sent by the college official.
