Can you give me a list of universities that offer msc in computer science that accept references in sealed envelopes.

The problem is, I contacted my professors and they told me that they can fill out a printed copy of the form or write one for me but they don't really check their university email and they don't want to fill out an online form. Will universities accept personal emails i.e. gmail?

Can anyone tell me what to do in this situation?

Basically, all universities are supposed to accept references in sealed envelopes, just ask them first.

My professors said they didn't even have institutional emails, I contacted the universities I was applying to and explained the situation. They told me that they won't accept references from personal emails but they will accept references if they arrive in sealed and stamped across the back envelopes, your referee can also put his signature on the seal.

But most of the universities require you to put names and emails during the application process. What to do in that situation? What is the best way to explain to the universities that sealed envelopes are the only way for me?

Just tell the university that your professors do not have institutional email addresses, and make sure your professor indicate his personal email and phone number in the letter.

Since the letter will be in sealed envelope, the university will know the email is really his. If they want to check, they'll either contact him via the phone number he provided or email.

In the application form, you can indicate his personal email. But firstly, check with the university and see if that's possible. At least, that's what I did.

I will do that. By the way what universities did you apply to if you don't mind me asking?

My professors didn't have institutional email, so they wrote recommendations for me signed them and got it attested from the Chairman of my Department + the Registrar of the University and then sealed it in an official university envelope with the university + department seal over it.

I then sent those letters through mail to the University and they accepted it.

And which university are you talking about sir? Also, what did you do when they asked for emails during the online application process?
