Cambridge - exam certificates

On my gap year right now and have received an offer from Cambridge, the offer letter says I need to provide exam certificates for the completed qualifications listed on UCAS - my main questions are:

-Is it necessary for me to provide both my GCSEs and A-level certificates? if so can I simply use my GCSEs results slip instead?

-On the portal for my college (Downing) there is no area for me to upload these documents, but my offer letter has informed me that I need to upload them there

Hi! Similar situation re gap year + Cambridge offer, my college has just requested that they be emailed into the admissions office - if you haven’t been given a link to upload them through I would either assume they need to be emailed or (even better) send the admissions office an email clarifying - its not like its going to impact your offer or anything now!

I would say defo yes they want your GCSEs too - do you not have the actual certificates for them? I’m not sure about slips, I would certainly hedge that they would prefer your certificates but if you havent got them then, again, i’d include it in an email and ask!
