If a student is unable to collect their results in person, we require their written authority for a named person to collect them on their behalf.

The forms to print and complete to give written authority for an alternative person to collect your exam results will be available to download at the bottom of this page. Alternatively, the results can be posted to your home address, however, we will require a stamped addressed envelope to do so.
