Transcript of Academic Records is an official document issued by your home University. It contains details of all the courses that you have completed at university level (name, credits, grades etc).

If you cannot get a Transcript of Academic Records from your home University, you can use the standard ECTS form: http://www.uku.fi/intl/english/prospective/forms/ECTStranscriptofrecords.doc
