ATTENTION! SUBMISSION OF ACADEMIC / ECA CERTIFICATES

Good evening...

This post is primarily to address ALL SMSA (2010/2011) students who will be applying for higher education are advised to submit ALL their ACADEMIC / ECA certificates to the clerks' office (1st floor, school administration). You are required to submit the following:

1. A list of ALL your certificates (a sample will be posted at the clerks' window)- please see a sample below.

2. Original copies of your certificates (in a separate folder). I will update you on whether to also include your I.C and birth certificate.

3. A minimum of 5 sets of photocopied certificates for example, the scholarship section requires 2 sets, UBD will ask for 4 sets, ITB needs 3/4 sets. Thus, if you are planning to apply to all then I would recommend you to submit at least 10 sets of photocopied certificates. 

4. Ensure that all your certificates are properly organised and submitted in an envelope with your FULL NAME and TUTOR GROUPS. Not to mention, make sure you leave your contact numbers so we can call you once they're completed.

This is an extremely IMPORTANT post because whether you like it or not, the time is near...preparation is vital!! Most students have been asking me which certificates to include>> Copies of your I.C, BIRTH CERTIFICATE and ALL certificates should be included that showcase your educational background for e.g Ugama results, PSR, PMB, O levels, participation in competitions...(Academic), sports and clubs appreciation certificates (ECAs)..

Warning: If you do not adhere to the above instructions, the school has the right not to certify your certificates. Remember time is money and shouldn't be wasted by waiting anxiously for the results to come out.

I've been asked a lot of unreasonable questions with regards to certifying your certs: 'Cher, can I just submit one set of certs then make photocopies of the signed ones?'

Answer: NO, you may not. This will be considered as fraud and if you choose to do so, you will lose the right in asking the school to certify your certs again.
