I don have an academic adviser/my academic adviser is out of the country at the moment/I am switching majors, etc. Can another professor fill out the Academic Recommendation form?
In most cases, yes. If your academic adviser is unavailable, you should try the advising center in your college, or ask a professor who will be able to evaluate your work. If you are in the Smeal College of Business Administration, however, this form must be completed by your Smeal academic adviser, or by another Smeal adviser. IMPORTANT: No matter who completes the Academic Recommendation form for you, make sure you do not hand the form to that person the day before it is due! Be sure to allow at least two weeks for the adviser or professor to complete your form for you.
