Services & Fees
Application Procedure
As a courtesy, IERF pre-screens applications for military evaluations. Military personnel will need to log into their EvalDirect account to upload the academic records. Our Military Department will contact the recruiter to confirm receipt and notify him/her if any further necessary documentation is needed. (please refer to Electronic Delivery for more information about EvalDirect) These reports are a special service provided for the military. As such, military candidates should not contact IERF. Should they do so, they will be referred to their recruiter instead. This procedure enables our office to keep the turnaround time down as well as limit confusion. For processing turnaround times, please note that applications received after 12:00pm PST/PDT will be considered to have been received the next business day. This also applies to payments, correspondence and documentation received after 12:00pm PST/PDT. Please note that any questions regarding a file must be directed to IERF by military personnel only. We offer two types of evaluations for Military Enlistment - the General Report for high school and/or college studies for $120 and the Detail Report with Course Level Identification for $235. The processing time for the Detail Report with Course Level Identification is 10 business days whereas the processing time for General Military Reports is 24-48 hours from the receipt of all required documentation and/or fees. Descriptions can be found below.Report
