FOREIGN ACADEMIC CREDENTIAL EVALUATION

AIUST FOREIGN ACADEMIC CREDENTIAL ASSESSMENT CENTER (AIUST AC) assesses your academic credentials, authenticates your documents and states the equivalency of your international academic credentials to academic programs in the USA.

In the United States, the U.S. Department of Education has delegated the recognition of foreign educational degrees and qualifications to institutions such as our university.

Our evaluation process:

We prepare a comprehensive and professional identity university-based equivalence assessment of foreign academic credentials:

1. AIUST AC verifies the recognition of tertiary-level institutions by the Ministry of Education of the countries where the education was obtained.

2. Evaluates foreign secondary level credentials to establish U.S. high school diploma comparability.

Where foreign educational systems offer secondary programs, which exceed the equivalent of U.S. senior high school graduation, advanced standing in lower division undergraduate subjects is considered.

3. Evaluates foreign tertiary level credentials to establish U.S. university degree comparability.

U.S. degree equivalence is based upon the content of the program, the number of years of full-time study and the perception of the degree in the home country.

Where an equivalent degree has not been obtained, credits toward a degree are based on submitted academic records, which provide either the unit credits or the clock hours of instruction.

All transfer credit is based on the assumption that one-year of study or its equivalency in another country is worth no more than one year of credit at a United States institution.

4. Reviews all UNESCO treaties and standards of Good Practices adopted by member states to determine if applicant country is a party to and have adopted such treaties and standards of Good Practices.

AIUST reserves the right to request:

- Original documents for review.
- Verification letters from the issuing institutions.
- Legalized/apostilled copies where required by the applicant’s home country.

Our Evaluation Reports can be notarized with a USA Hague Apostille.
