Regular Evaluations

The chief purpose for evaluating an educational document (diploma, transcript) from another country is to provide an authoritative statement to a school, college, university, employer, state, or federal agency about the U.S. equivalency of the education described on that document.

A General Evaluation is a certification of the highest equivalent U.S. level of education you have attained. This evaluation also:

1. gives the purpose for which the evaluation is requested,
   
2. identifies the status of the institution(s) you attended,
   
3. confirms the academic discipline in which you specialized,
   
4. states the type(s) of documents upon which the evaluation is based, and
   
5. certifies the authenticity of your documents.
   

A Course List provides a list of the subjects you have taken with the U.S. equivalent course grade and semester units (for postsecondary studies) or units of credit (for secondary studies) for each subject. If requested for postsecondary studies, we also identify whether the subject is lower division, upper division, or graduate level in regionally accredited U.S. institutions of higher education.

A GENERAL EVALUATION MAY BE ISSUED WITHOUT A COURSE LIST, BUT A COURSE LIST IS NEVER ISSUED WITHOUT A GENERAL EVALUATION.
