Transcript Evaluations

Credits earned through educational institutions located outside of the United States will be considered for acceptance after an appropriate evaluation through a NACES accredited member. Educational institutions must be recognized by the Ministry of Education (or other accrediting body) of the respective country in order for credit to be accepted. Students may be required to send their documents to an evaluation agency for a course-by-course evaluation report. An official copy of this report should be sent directly from the evaluation company to the international@anderson.edu. This report will then be reviewed to determine acceptable transfer credit.
