Frequently Asked Questions

Educational achievements outside the destination country are not automatically recognized. An academic evaluation identifies what your foreign studies are equivalent to, making them recognizable for continuing education, employment applications and promotions, or visa and immigration purposes.

We can evaluate academic credentials from any country in the world, from any institution — public or private.

For continuing education or employment purposes, we recommend a Standard Course-by-Course evaluation. For visa purposes, a specialized Immigration Course-by-Course evaluation. A General evaluation may occasionally be sufficient for certain needs — check with the intended recipient.

Email a clear picture or scan of your diploma/graduation certificate (if available) and transcripts or marksheets for each course of study you want evaluated. We never require you to mail your irreplaceable originals.

Your draft evaluation is emailed within 24 hours of your order starting — or it’s FREE. Standard first-class mailing takes about 1 week in the US, 2 weeks to Canada, and 3+ weeks to other countries. Rush evaluation and expedited shipping are available.

First, email a scan of your documents for review and a fixed quote. Once you proceed, we send an invoice for secure online payment. If your order includes translation, that is completed first (usually one day). We then complete the evaluation within 24 hours, email you a draft for approval, and mail your certified documents to the address you choose.

Typically 5–7 pages, including degree and transcript equivalencies, post-secondary credit calculation, course equivalencies, grade point equivalency and total GPA calculation, evaluator resume, citations, certification, and mailing to one address. Standard Course-by-Course evaluations carry our 100% Acceptance Guarantee for work and education purposes.
