Required Documentation

IERF General Document Requirements 

It is recommended that all the necessary documents be gathered before sending the application, as missing documents will delay the processing of the evaluation.

Also, be sure to read the IERF Country-Specific Requirements section (below), as it provides a more detailed description of the required academic records by country of study. 

Academic Records

Please note that IERF requires official academic records. Unofficial student copies will not be accepted, even if they are issued by the school.

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 the degree was not earned, please indicate so in writing.

If available, plan of studies / curriculum indicating the structure of your 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

Please note that if the 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 choose to not include them in the evaluation.

If the applicant has completed studies in the United States, please submit a copy of the transcript and/or diploma as supporting documentation. Please note, however, that the U.S. studies will not be included in the evaluation.

Original Documents

In some instances, IERF requires original academic records. Please be sure to check IERF’s Country-Specific Requirements (see section below) for more information.

Official certified true copies of academic records issued by the institution of study or relevant government body may be acceptable as original, whereas notarized copies are not.

Please note that IERF also reserves the right to request original documents at any time during the evaluation process.

All original documents submitted by the applicant will be returned when the evaluation is mailed.

Photocopies

Original documents (including translations) must be accompanied by clear, legible and full-sized photocopies (front and back). Otherwise, a $20 fee will be assessed. Photocopies become the property of IERF.

If submitting sealed records (e.g., official records in an envelope sealed by the school), please note that the photocopy requirement / fee is waived.

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.

In some instances, professional translations are required. Please be sure to check IERF’s  Country-Specific Requirements (see section below) for more information.

IERF has negotiated a special discount with University Language Services for our applicants who use their translation services. ULS can be contacted through their website to learn more about the discount.

If submitting original translations, please include a set of clear, legible and full-sized photocopies (front and back).  Otherwise, a $20 fee will be assessed. Photocopies become the property of IERF.

Proof of Name Change

If the applicant’s name has changed, please submit proof of name change (e.g. copy of a marriage certificate or other legal document, etc.).

Acupuncture Transcript Request Form (for licensure in Acupuncture only)

If the applicant is applying for licensure in Acupuncture, he/she will need to forward the Acupuncture Transcript Request Form to his/her educational institution, and request that they mail it directly to IERF, along with his/her official academic records.

Transfer Credit or Credit for Study Abroad, Given by Your Home Institution

If your home institution gave you credit for studies completed in another school / country outside the US, please arrange to send in the official transcript, issued by the original institution of study (for which transfer credit was given). This is only required if you wish to have these studies included. IERF asks for these records, as evaluations must be based on primary source documents.

EXCEPTIONS:
For some programs, a study abroad component is required and, as such, it is pre-arranged through your school (home institution). In these instances, a separate transcript from that institution of study is not required IF your home institution includes a full breakdown of the subjects studied, the grades earned, and any associated credits/course weighting normally provided on the record of study.

Additionally, if you studied in the Philippines, and transferred from one college or university to another within the Philippines, then a separate transcript is not required, as it is standard practice for the most current school to serve as custodian of your postsecondary records.

If any information is unclear, IERF will require a separate transcript from the initial institution of study.

Request for Additional Information

Please note that at any time during the evaluation process, IERF reserves the right to request original documents, additional documents, and/or that documents be sent directly to IERF by the issuing institutions. All records received from the institution(s) of study will become the property of IERF and will not be returned to the applicant.

Please submit the requested documentation and/or fees within 4 months. Otherwise, the case will be closed and a $80 fee will be required to re-open it.

IERF Country-Specific Requirements 

Be certain that all the necessary documents are gathered before sending the application, as missing documents will delay the processing of the evaluation.

EXCEPTIONS: International Curricula and Transnational Programs of Study

Secondary-Level Studies
You may have completed a program at an international high school in a curriculum that is different from the national model of the country in which you physically studied. Examples include IGCSEs, International A-Levels, and the International Baccalaureate. In such instances, the language of issue should correspond to the curriculum that was studied rather than that of the physical host country. Original, official academic records should also be submitted.

Postsecondary-Level Studies
You may have completed a transnational program of study. Examples include joint degree programs, taught by universities located in two different countries, or studying at the international branch campus of a university physically located in a different country. In such instances, the records should be issued by the degree-awarding institution, in the official language of that institution and curriculum. Original, official academic records should also be submitted.
