If you have graduated from CBS
As a general rule, you cannot get a grade transcript if you have graduated. You have to use your diploma instead. Your diploma includes your grades, and it is your diploma you will need for job applications etc.
You need to scan your own diploma if you need a digital version of it.
CBS does not store any physical or digital copies of diplomas.
If your diploma is lost, you can ask for a replacement diploma from diploma-bachelor@cbs.dk or diploma-graduate@cbs.dk

You can find previous course descriptions in the CBS course catalogue.
Stamped/signed course description:
You cannot have a course description signed or stamped. The material is available through an official CBS site and thus original.
Diploma Supplement section 2.5 of your diploma states the language of instruction and examination of your programme.

The information needed for the English language proficiency application is already documented and verified through the final diploma from CBS (the diploma supplement).
