Evaluations for Your Institution

Your customized credentials evaluation requirements. E.g.,

Welcome to the IERF application for Your Institution!

All international applicants who have previously completed studies outside the United States will need to have an evaluation completed by IERF to be considered for Undergraduate and/or Graduate Admission for Your Institution.

• All non-U.S. international bachelor’s degrees must be evaluated.
• All other non-U.S. graduate studies must also be evaluated if your graduate program of interest either requires those degrees for doctoral study or for the purpose of pursuing a second graduate degree at Your Institution.

A file number will be assigned and notification will be sent upon receipt of the application. Every effort will be made to mail the evaluation within 15 business days. Yet, if additional documentation and/or fees is/are required, the turnaround time will be effective from the date of receipt of all requested materials.

Completed reports are sent directly to Your Institution electronically on your behalf. Please allow 1-2 business days for Your Institution to receive and process your completed evaluation. You will also receive an electronic unofficial applicant copy for your personal reference.

A new report fee will apply for additional official copies after the report is completed.

Note: Please read through the information before applying. While IERF is happy to answer general questions about documents required for the report, no pre-screening of documents is available in determining degree equivalency.

IERF looks forward to assisting you on your journey toward this wonderful educational opportunity.
