I have decided do undertake my LL.M at Cambridge in September of this year but I am currently facing a worrying problem.
I am just finishing my Law degree in my home country and I am taking part to a summer school during the two first weeks of July.
All my last exams are taking place before 30th June.
This summer school is however considered as a course by my home university and I will be evaluated on my participation to the summer school.
I will have my points for that "course" in the mid-July.
The main problem is that the jury which is awarding the official document, i.e. my diploma, will not have its meeting before September !
As everyone, I will have to bring "formal evidence" to I have obtained my law degree.
Do you think that an official letter of the Registrar of my home university with a transcript of all my points and my ranking will be considered as a "formal evidence" ?
I am in a very particular situation because I will have ALL my points before 31th July but not my official document called "diploma" before 10th September !
Any idea ?
In advance, thanks !

Call them?!?!?

I think calling them is the best option. However, for your information, I didn't send to any university in the UK my actual diploma, but rather a letter from my university saying that I'd graduated... Even though I got kicked in the arse by Cambridge, considering I did get some offers I reckon the letter should suffice.

according to the offer booklet, you don't need to have the acutal diploma in hand!!
if you're doing a masters (or other post-grad), u just need to get a letter from your registrar that you've sat for your exams and have submitted your dissertation, if you're still doing your undergraduate, if i'm not mistaken, you need to get a letter stating that you're going to get the required grade ...check the offer booklet to be sure!
