Foreign credential evaluation

Students who have attended a college or university outside of the United States are required to submit international transcript(s) accompanied by a professional credit evaluation. This evaluation should include the following:

  • Course-by-course evaluation to show a complete course listing with credit values and grades received for each course

  • Calculation of grade point average to demonstrate the cumulative grade point average using the standard US grading system, i.e., A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0

  • Translation to English (if applicable)

  • Analysis of credentials (if applicable)

The evaluation report must be sent directly to student’s admitting office. One credential evaluation from each college and university attended is required. The evaluation agency must mail or email the official evaluation report directly to the student’s admitting office. If applying to multiple admitting offices, an official evaluation report is required for each.

Tulane University only accepts credential evaluations from World Education Services (www.wes.org)*.
