Examination certificates to send (for all already completed qualifications)

Back

As an offer holder, you are required to send copies of your examination certificates for all formal qualifications that you have already taken and as mentioned in your UCAS application. The deadline for us to receive these by is 2 April 2024 for undergraduate offer holders and 30 June 2024 for Foundation Year offer holders, at the latest.

Please note the following:

This page only applies for qualifications already completed. For information on qualifications you are yet to complete which form part of your conditional offer please see the page UK and International Examination Results Information for Conditional Offer Holders.
Following receipt of the scanned copies of your examination results for your already completed qualifications, we may email you to ask to receive verification of your results provided and directly from your school. If your school is not able to provide this evidence, and if your place is confirmed, we will ask you to bring the originals with you when you matriculate so the documents can be checked.

Further information about exactly what we need from you and how to send them to the College is outlined below:

Which examination certificates to send to Homerton

We ask for copies of examination certificates for all academic qualifications stated as already completed on your original application form(s), i.e. UCAS and MyCambridgeApplication (if relevant). As students enter a very wide range of qualifications, the following list provides examples of the most common qualifications:

GCSE/IGCSE certificates
AS level certificates
Statement of results for AS/A Level Unit Scores
Scottish Higher certificates
A level certificates
IB Diploma certificates
French Baccalaureate
Equivalent certificates for qualifications in other countries if they were not included in your transcript.

Please note the following:
1) If your results document(s) are not in English, we need both the original and official translation.
2) All results documents submitted should be the official examination certificates received from exam boards. If all you have is a 'statement of results' and/or 'provisional statement of results' then you must ask your school to sign and stamp this as verification of these results before you submit them.
English Language qualifications: IELTS Test Report Form, TOEFL Score Report or other English Language certificates. We need to receive scanned copies (via the english language certificate task) of the original results for all previously taken tests and only if you have not previously provided these. This applies, even if you will be retaking either IELTS or TOEFL as part of your offer.
Further guidance for those with English Language conditions can be found by clicking here.
For US College Board qualifications (Advanced Placements (APs), SATs and ACTs):
If you have US qualifications from the College Board, Homerton will need to receive the official results statement issued by the College Board.
Please note that whilst the same exam board – College Board – delivers APs and SATs, they are considered separate qualifications. This means that if you are expecting both APs and SATs results, College Board requires students to authorise this information separately. Authorising Cambridge University to receive results for one qualification will not authorise the University to see the other.
Please follow the guidelines below, and you need to ensure to provide matching information and to have authorised College Board to share this data with the Central Admissions Office of Cambridge University (CAO):

For APs: You need to designate Cambridge to receive a copy of your results in ‘My AP’. The University’s code for College Board is: 7181. Please also have a look at: Sending AP Scores – AP Students | College Board
For SATs: You need to designate Cambridge to receive a copy of your results in your College Board account. The University’s code for College Board 7181. Please also have a look at: Send SAT Scores to Colleges - SAT Suite | College Board).
For ACTs: You need to designate Cambridge to receive a copy of your results in your account. The centre code for Cambridge is 7775 (College, Congress Member, and Scholarship Codes | Scores | ACT), and there is information on how offer holders can authorise Cambridge to see their scores here: Sending Your Scores - The ACT Test | ACT
We also need to receive (via the examination certificate task), scanned copies of the document(s), College Board have sent to you confirming your results
For APs: AP CollegeBoard Student Score Report
For SATs: CollegeBoard SAT Score Report
For ACTs: The ACT Test Score

For vocational/ extra-curricular qualifications: we also need to receive copies of some vocational or extra-curricular qualifications (via the examination certificate task) if mentioned in your UCAS application and if they have been formally assessed.
For example:
ABRSM Music Performance and Theory Awards
LAMDA Speech and Drama qualifications

Please note that we do not need to receive copies of Duke of Edinburgh Awards certificates.

What if I cannot find a certificate

If your school is unable to help, you will need to order another copy from the relevant exam board so that you can send a certified photocopy (which has been stamped and signed by your school), to Homerton as outlined above. Please see below for further information about this from some of the exam boards:
