Submitting your qualification certificates

Certificates submitted before you apply

If you sent us certificates or other qualification documents before you applied, it may not be possible for us to match these to your UCAS application at a later date.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you provide all relevant information as part of the application process, even if you think it has been sent to us before you applied.

Qualifications you have already completed

If you accept our offer as your firm choice, please send us copies of any certificates for qualifications you have already obtained. Examples include:

• SQA National 5
• GCSE and IGCSE certificates
• College Board or ACT transcripts (international applicants)
• High school diploma or school leaving certificate (international applicants)

If you do not have certificates that list the relevant qualifications, please contact the qualification organisation to request replacements or ask your school or college to provide written confirmation of your subjects and grades.

Qualifications you have still to complete

Please check whether you need to let us know of any your results in any new qualifications or whether they will be sent to us directly by UCAS.​​

​SQA Highers, GCE A Levels, Irish Leaving Certificate, Welsh Baccalaureate, Pre-Us, and Singapore A-Levels

If you hold offers based on SQA Highers, GCE A Levels, the Irish Leaving Certificate, the Welsh Baccalaureate, Pre-Us, or Singapore A-Levels you do not need to send us your results as we will receive these automatically from UCAS.

If you are an International Baccalaureate (IB) candidate, please ask your school IB Diploma Programme Coordinator to request that your results are sent to UCAS, so that we can receive these automatically.
