		When will I receive my results?

Results are issued within 14 days after the main test date.

Unfortunately results cannot be given over the phone, by fax or e-mail, and we are only allowed to give one certificate to each student. Candidates can pick up their results in person. When the results are available we will call you; to collect your results you simply need to bring your identification document.

In addition to the certificate given to the candidate, candidates can request on their application forms (Section 24), that up to 5 copies of the results be sent to receiving institutions. Receiving institutions are local academic institutions (e.g. universities) and overseas institutions not registered to view candidate results online. Registered Institutions only receive results online; a list of institutions that can access results electronically can be found on the IELTS website. Unfortunately we cannot send to local institutions or departments (e.g. immigration agents).

Candidates requesting for additional TRFs after one month of the test date will have to pay an administration fee of UGX 50,000, in addition to the actual DHL Courier charges to any institutions of their choice.
