Which examination certificates to send to Homerton
We ask for copies of examination certificates for all academic qualifications stated as completed on your original application form(s), i.e. UCAS and SAQ (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: If your results document is not in English, we need both the original and official translation.
- English Language qualifications: IELTS Test Report Form, TOEFL Score Report or other English Language certificates. We need to receive scanned copie(s) of the original results for all previously taken tests. This applies, even if you will be retaking either IELTS or TOEFL as part of your offer.
-
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).

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

What if I cannot find a certificate
