GENERAL EVALUATION PROCESS
Applications for evaluation submitted to IESCAREE are processed as
follows:
Step 1. Download and print the Application Form
Step 2.
Mail the completed application, required documents, and fees
Mail the completed application form, the fees (see Fee
Schedule and Notes below), and the original documents to be
evaluated (transcripts, marksheets, certificate of graduation or diploma,
etc.) to IESCAREE by Express Mail, Insured Mail, or Certified Mail with or
without Returned Receipt Requested (CMRRR). Certified English translation
is required if the original educational document is not already in
English. Original documents are required for verification purpose.
Step 3. Receive the completed evaluation
Once
the evaluation process is completed, all the original documents, the
original Evaluation Report (in a sealed envelope), and a copy of the
evaluation report, will be sent to Applicant by Certified Mail, or other
mailing method depending on the postage and handling fee submitted. The
original evaluation report can be mailed directly to the institution by
regular first class mail by IESCAREE if requested by the applicant (also
see Frequently Asked Questions). A minimum postage
and handling fee of $10 will be charged for this direct mailing if
certified mailing is desired by Applicant.
Notes:
- Be sure to fully complete Part "D" of the application for
information on your educational background. Sign and date the
application. Incomplete applications will delay the evaluation
process.
- Both original transcript and Certificate of Graduation/Diploma, if
graduated, are required for any type of evaluation.
- Turnaround time:
The evaluation process normally takes two
to four weeks, depending on the completeness of information submitted,
the type of the evaluation report, and the complexity of the documents.
All evaluation requests are processed on a first-come first-served
basis.
- Rush Services:
The Center offers Rush Services for one,
two or five working days, for the additional fee of $190, $100 or $50
respectively. For a one-day rush service request, the applicant must
first consult the Center by phone prior to sending the documents. Money
order/bank check/cashier check is required for 1 and 2 day rush
requests. Rush Service requests are accepted on a case-by-case basis,
and will start when complete information/documents and evaluation fee
are received in the Center.
- Fee can be submitted by money order, cashier's check, or personal
check. Please note that money order is required for all 1 and 2-day rush
services. Do not forget to include the appropriate postage and handling
fee to the total fee.
- Evaluation Report will be addressed to the intended institution if
information is provided in Part E of the Application form. If intended
institution is not decided/available, leave this area blank, the
evaluation will not be addressed to any institution.
- Original Evaluation Report is normally mailed to applicant, in a
sealed envelope, with the applicant's Evaluation copy, and all submitted
original documents. The original evaluation can be mailed directly to
the institution by regular mail with no additional charge if requested.
If Certified mailing to the institution is desired, an extra postage and
handling fee of $10 is required. See item 4 of Fee
Schedule for additional information on mailing options.
- Reconstruction Work:
In few cases, when the school's
transcript does not indicate the hours of study or the credits earned
for each subject, the school syllabus is required. If a syllabus is not
available, reconstruction work is needed in order to calculate
appropriate U.S. credit equivalencies for the course-by-course
evaluation. The standard Reconstruction fee is $100 per program, but
may vary depending on the complexity of each case. If you request a
course-by-course evaluation, and your transcript or mark sheet lists
only subjects and grades, no units/credits/total hours of study for each
subject, then you will need to complete the Reconstruction by Synthesis Form, and send it
together with the Application form and original documents package. Exact
Reconstruction fee will be determined after your documents have been
reviewed.
