International Transfer Credit Evaluation
Prospective students who wish to submit college-level academic coursework completed outside of the U.S. for transfer credit consideration must have their transcripts evaluated by an educational credential evaluation service that is a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES®), the Association of International Credentials Evaluators (´¡±õ°ä·¡³§Â®), or the Credentials Evaluation Service of the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS). Students who have previously had their transcripts evaluated by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers’ (AACRAO) International Education Services may also submit their evaluations for review, however, AACRAO is no longer performing any new evaluations.
Within the United States, no government agency monitors the establishment of foreign credential evaluation services. Therefore, ºÚÁÏ´«ËÍÃÅ utilizes private educational credential evaluation services such as NACES® and ´¡±õ°ä·¡³§Â®.Â
NACES® is committed to formulating and maintaining ethical standards in the field of foreign educational evaluation. NACES® was founded in 1987 by credential evaluation services dedicated to promoting excellence and committed to setting the standards for this profession. Evaluation reports prepared by NACES® members are judgments based on appropriate reference material, including current research. NACES® member organizations examine documents for accuracy and authenticity. Reports include information about the credential awarded and the U.S. equivalency. A current list of NACES® members is available online at .
´¡±õ°ä·¡³§Â® was created by international educational credential evaluation services as a nonprofit institution. The focus of ´¡±õ°ä·¡³§Â® is to translate foreign transcripts in regard to U.S. equivalents. All members of uphold the same standards and ethics to help provide quality evaluations pertaining to U.S. requirements.
