Application for the Transfer of International Credit

- ECE (Educational Credential Evaluators): Official transcripts from college or university, if the degree was received from an international institution the transcripts and proof of the undergraduate diploma or degree confirmation must be submitted in the student’s native language along with an unofficial English translation. For more information about transcript evaluation, contact ECE at www.ece.org.

ECE and WES will also provide a copy of the evaluation directly to the applicant. Applicants should keep a copy of the evaluation for their records.
