Required Documentation
IERF General Document Requirements
(please note that there are also IERF Country-Specific Requirements)
Academic Records
Please submit the following:
- Transcripts / Mark Sheets / Examination Certificates / Academic Records indicating courses/subjects, hours of study/units/credits, and grades/marks/examination results, issued in the original language. These must be issued on institutional letterhead and include official signatures and seals. If the hours/units/credits are not included on the academic records, please submit program descriptions/syllabi issued by the institution, where applicable.
- Diplomas / Graduation Certificates / Degree Certificates issued in the original language (indicating that a degree/qualification has been earned or that a program of study has been completed)
- If available, plan of studies / curriculum indicating the structure of the program of study
- Copy of the title page, abstract, table of contents, and first ten pages of the dissertation for the evaluation of doctoral studies
- Proof of name change (if applicable), e.g. copy of a marriage certificate or other legal document
Please note that if an applicant has continued on to postsecondary studies, he/she is not required to submit academic records for secondary studies. Also, if the applicant has completed graduate studies, the undergraduate academic records are still required as supporting documentation, although he/she may request to not include them in the evaluation.
Translations
Translations must be submitted for all records not officially issued in English. These must be in the same format as the original-language documents, line-by-line, word-for-word, and must be typed. IERF reserves the right to request translations prepared by professional translation services.
IERF has negotiated a special discount with University Language Services for our applicants who use their translation services. You can contact them directly through their website to learn more about the discount.
Request for Additional Information
Be certain that all the necessary documents have been submitted to you before sending them to IERF, as missing documents will delay the processing of the report.
