Gap year into Pharmacy

I am currently on my gap year, and I received an offer to study Pharmacy at De Montfort University. I stated that I was a gap year student and had my A-level grades added on my UCAS application, but I haven't been given information on whether I should confirm my A-level results to meet all academic requirements and which email to send them to. The conditional offer assumed I am still in year 13 and said that I only need to confirm my GCSE results. Should I email admissions my A-level results?

Email them copies of your GCSE certificates, and your A level certificates.
They should then turn this to an Unconditional offer.

I emailed them my certificates with the subject "GCSE and A-level certificates". But their response email was just an acknowledgement of only my GCSE certificates and that they are now in a file. I'm not sure why they would not acknowledge the A-level certificate.

They can actually check your A level results - all Unis get a data-feed from UCAS around this time for anyone with achieved results and this may be why they dont now need them.

Hi sorry not relevant but what were your achieved grades?
