Rejected Tier 2 Visa

[Anysia]

My application for a Tier 2 visa has been rejected and I've decided to reapply for it. Although UK border agency have returned me my passport, I did not receive the original copy of my MPharm cert. Did I not receiv my cert because it has been retained or is it because it has been misplaced?

How do I proceed with my application without the submission of an original academic certificate?

Did you not provide a copy at the time of your initial application? Sometimes they retain original docs where there has not been a copy provided...

No, I did not provide a copy the last time because they mentioned that they want an original copy of the very but did not mention anything about a photocopies version of the cert.

How do I proceed with my application is that's the case? Because a reissue of MPharm cert would need 10 working days and I wouldn't make it in time because my student visa is going to expire in 1 week time.
