Its been 5 months still I'm waiting for them to activate my account, no response from them even when I contact them through email , their only response is the automated message. I dont know what to do. What should I do.

1 个月I hope this email finds you well. I am preparing to apply for the APS certificate, but l currently have a backlog in one of my semesters. I wanted to inquire whether it is possible to apply for the APS certificate while having backlogs. If so, are there any specific requirements or additional documents I need to submit regarding the pending exams? I would appreciate your guidance on how to proceed with my application under these circumstances. Thank you for your time and assistance Best regards
