AFTER THE EXAMINATIONS BOOK RETURN • All text books must be returned to the school during the summer examinations series.

Please pay attention to posted deadlines as there are no exceptions. CERTIFICATE COLLECTION • For candidates who have completed a qualification, certificates from the appropriate awarding body will be issued and are available in early November. • If you are no longer in the UAE and are unable to collect your certificate in person you must email: examinations@dubaibritishschool.ae indicating how you wish to receive your certificates (e.g., courier, etc.). • Your certificate is a valuable document and you should keep it safe. Employers and admissions officers at colleges and universities may ask to see your certificates to prove which awards you have achieved. • DBS is only obliged to keep certificates for a period of one year after issue. The awarding bodies advise that all uncollected certificates should be destroyed. If you do not collect your certificates within this time (or if you lose your certificates), they can only be replaced by direct application to the appropriate awarding body and at significant cost to you. • The replacement will be in the form of a Certifying Statement of Results (not a certificate). A Certifying Statement of Results is an official copy of the examination results held by the awarding body. The awarding body cannot issue a replacement certificate. You are therefore urged to collect your certificates as soon as possible and to keep them safely. 10
