- Do not send unevaluated foreign transcripts directly to the Graduate School.
- Credential evaluations are not required for short-term study abroad experiences sponsored and transcripted through a regionally accredited U.S. institution.
- The Graduate School does not return or reissue documents submitted as part of the application, including transcripts.
- All foreign course-by-course transcript evaluations should be requested from one of the evaluation companies belonging to the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES). The course-by-course credit evaluation will determine the institution accreditation, degree, credits, and course equivalents earned. The evaluation should be sent directly to the Graduate School.
Department of State Agency Applicants (i.e.. Fulbright, AMIDEAST, Laspau, or USAID)
- Certified true copies of the transcript(s) in English may be submitted electronically directly from the Department of State Agency to the Graduate School. Original transcripts are supplied by the agency if an offer of acceptance is extended.
International 3-Year Bachelor's Degree
- SpanTran and other NACES companies may not consider a 3-year bachelor's degree as equivalent to a 4-year bachelor's degree in the U.S. If you earned a 3-year bachelor's degree and have no other university degrees, we recommend you first reach out to the evaluation agency to see if they will typically recommend a bachelor's equivalency for your degree.
