Generally, we will need the original transcripts or marksheets and degree certificate (if applicable). If your original documents are not in English, a qualified translation or translation service by ERES is also required. You may be contacted for additional documents after we reviewed your initial submission.

  • I’ve graduated a long time ago, and my school probably doesn’t have my record anymore. What should I do?

    Please try to contact your school since most of the institutions maintain records better than you imagine. Even your school was merged or changed its name, records will be passed and managed by certain authority. You may also contact the Ministry of Education of the country.

  • I studied at one school and completed the rest at another school, what documents should I send?

    In order for us to finish your evaluation, we need to collect complete study records. If your final institution lists all your course works with detail units and grades, then you may not need to send documents from that institution. Otherwise, please send us individual original document issued by each institution.

  • Is my school or program recognized in United States?

    One of the main features of our evaluation report is to determine whether the foreign school you completed courses from is recognized in United States. Generally, if a school is recognized by the Ministry of Education in its country then it could be considered as a recognized institution in the U.S.

  • Should I include my Certificate / Diploma / Degree with my records?

    If you were awarded a Certificate / Diploma / Degree, then you must submit it. Otherwise, your equivalency may be affected. If the original is in a large size, you may contact the institution for a certified true copy of proof of degree awarded as an alternative document. However, such a document alone is usually not sufficient for an evaluation and it must be supported by your academic transcripts.

  • My name is now different from when I obtained my degree. What do I need to do to obtain the evaluation in my present name?
