    What Is a Foreign Credential Evaluation?

    A foreign credential evaluation is an independent review of education completed outside the United States.
    Depending on the report requested, an evaluation may determine the U.S. educational equivalent of a foreign diploma or degree or provide a detailed analysis of courses, grades, credits, and academic achievement.

    Common report types include:
    • Document-by-document evaluations
    • Course-by-course evaluations
    • GPA and credit conversions
    • Professional licensing evaluations
    • Educational equivalency reports
    The institution requesting the evaluation determines which agency and report type it will accept.

    Do Academic Documents Need to Be Translated?

    Translation requirements vary by credential evaluation agency and by country.
    If your diploma, transcript, degree certificate, mark sheet, or other academic record is not in English, you may need to submit an English translation together with the original-language document.
    Always review the current requirements of the evaluation agency you plan to use before ordering an evaluation or translation.
