    Certificate of Academic Standing - When?
    How long does it take to receive a Certificate of Academic Standing from the SRA after submitting an application for one? I am considering pursuing a GDL this September but apparently enrolment in a course requires obtaining the certificate.

    How it took 2 days? That´s impossible! Unless she is got a degree from the UK. My degree is not from the UK, actually is from Latin America, so I assume they will take quite a while to give me the certificate...but how long?
    Does anyone knows?
    I also will like to join the GDL on September but I am realistic... that´s going to need a miracle!

    The SRA told me that it should usually take around 30 days to make the decision after they receive the online and mailed components, if there aren't any issues with the application.

    Hi,

    I'm applying for GDL starting next year.

    Could you tell me what did you attach to your application for the COAS - I wonder if the degree certificate and transcripts of results are enough or should I also attach my CV?

    Is there any payment for the issuance of the COAS?

    Thanks in advance.
