Notes:
- Multiple Programs: Evaluation fees listed on the Fee Schedule are for each program/degree to be evaluated, where noted. Additional program(s) to be evaluated, such as an Associate's before a Bachelor's, second Bachelor's, Master's, Doctorate, etc. will incur higher fees (see Fee Schedule).
- Postage & Handling: A minimum postage and handling of $20 for Priority Mail is required for all evaluation requests. Refer to Fee Schedule for mailing options and corresponding fee. Applicants who send in a pre-paid pre-addressed envelope will still be charged the minimum postage and handling fee. In rare cases, oversized packages may also incur additional fees.
- Grade Point Average (GPA): GPA is not routinely done unless specifically requested. The Comprehensive Course-by-Course evaluation must be requested in order to include the GPA, as GPA is calculated from the U.S. equivalency of credits and grades analysis. A nominal fee of $20, per program, is to be added to the total evaluation fee for this calculation.
- 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 required in order to create a Comprehensive Course-by-Course evaluation. The Reconstruction by Synthesis form must be completed by the applicant for information on the hours of study for each subject on the transcript.
- Evaluation Timeframe: 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 Service: IESCAREE offers rush services of two (2), five (5), and ten (10) business days. Rush service starts when all required information, documents and fees are received at IESCAREE. Rush service requests are accepted on a case-by-case basis. Personal checks are not accepted for rush service requests.
- Additional Sealed Official Evaluation: While your file is active, additional sealed official evaluations can be requested for a fee. You can check our Forms page or send us an email at info@iescaree.com. The average time frame to fulfill a routine (non-rush) additional official evaluation request is around 10 business days.
Please be sure to provide the reference number of your evaluation report (located on your Applicant’s Copy). If you do not have your reference number available, you may instead provide the country from where your study was from and the year the evaluation was completed. If you wish to have the additional official evaluation addressed to an institution, be sure to provide the institution's full name and address. The sealed official evaluation can be mailed to either you or to the institution specified. Please select on the form accordingly.
If any change, customization or additional service is requested for an evaluation completed or updated prior, a revision fee will be assessed (in addition to the cost of any additional service(s) requested).
If your file with us has expired, you will need to reapply. A discounted fee will be considered for eligible reapply requests. Please email or give us a call for more details. - Payment: Full payment in U.S. currency must be made together with the application by money order, cashier's check, personal check (payable to CAREE/International Evaluation Service), or a request for an invoice to pay online.
- All fees are subject to change without notice.
