ECA form, Checklist, IQAS form(total 6 pages)
+ verified copies of Bach & Master transcripts and degrees from the univerities + Identity card copy (with translation if required)+ payment receipt in ur case. and sealed them in the university envelopes (i did bach and master from different universities. so i sealed each in its own uni envelope) and then i put both the envelopes in the one big courier envelope and sent it to IQAS.

that's how i did mine.

hope it answers ur question

remember: i had put one set of every thing in both envelopes

Do I need to include the 1 page request of Academic Records form if I am sending the sealed transcripts myself instead of the university ?

Thanks.

that form includes a section to be filled by ur university authorized petson and stamp it, right?

well i did it from uni and put all the forms in envelope .
i sent them myself. as i already said, i visited the uni , asked to verify my documents, asked to fill the section in form , then sealed everything in the uni envelopes, and just put the two uni sealed envelopes in the big courier envelope and sent it to IQAS.
so when they open it, they ll find the two sealed uni envelopes in it. one of Bach and 1 of Master.
