Is it possible to retrieve my original documents after the application process is complete?
Please do not submit original documents to UCL. Unfortunately, it is not possible to return application documentation once it has been submitted. Documentation for successful applicants are scanned and the paper documentation destroyed immediately after enrolment. Therefore, you should send certified copies rather than submit any irreplaceable originals. UCL is also unable to return references unless the referee has specifically expressed that they are willing to allow an applicant access to such information.
