China

The required supporting documents for studies completed in China are broken down into two categories:

• records which must be sent to IERF by the applicant. 
• records which must be sent to IERF by CSSD (formerly CHESICC).
  
  Please see below for more detail.

    If your institution of study issues academic records in English, please submit those as well. Otherwise, please submit professional English translations for all documents issued in Chinese. Note that notarized certificates (公证书) are not considered official academic records but may be accepted as translations. A complete set of academic records is required for each program of study (e.g., original degree certificate, original graduation certificate, original transcript, English translations).
