    Hey, congrats on your offer. I'm in exactly the same situation with the offer and already passed the access. Except I have no scanned copies of my certs. Did you have to call them to get the address or am I being really dim and missing some instructions somewhere? Thanks.

    Where to send the certificates. I know they get a-level results automatically but we have to send them our access ones ourselves. I' m planning on calling them tomorrow but didnt want to do so having missed something obvious.

    I just quoted my UCAS ID number and name. And sent the scans to the query email address.

    YOu shouldn't need to send them the hard copies.

    Hate to be the harbinger of doom but I applied for my SF in November, started uni in January and am still doing battle, though we are getting closer I would highly reccommend that you note every call, every name and keep a folder of all your letters etc.

    They have even managed to deny knowledge of one form that was in the same envelope as one they freely admit receiving!

    On the plus side my daughters application went straight through ...... not that I'm jealous, lol.
