Evaluation of Foreign Credentials

Foreign Evaluation Procedure for students:

UMUC Europe students will be required to request and submit their evaluations of foreign credentials from one of the approved agencies listed below. All are independent and not affiliated with UMUC.

To request an evaluation of your foreign documents, please follow the list below:

• Follow the specific instructions of the agency.
• Include full payment as instructed by the agency.
• Mail completed forms and payment directly to the agency, not to UMUC.

To assist in our evaluation of your record, we request that a copy of your documents and translations also be sent to UMUC at the following address: University of Maryland University College, 3501 University Blvd. East, Adelphi, MD 20783, USA

Some of the organizations listed below do general evaluations (also known as document-by-document) that state the educational levels or total hours attained. In order to transfer individual classes, students need to request a course-by-course evaluation so every class is evaluated for transfer.

*UMUC reserves the right to determine acceptability and/or placement of international academic credit. Evaluation by an international evaluation agency does not guarantee acceptance or use in the UMUC degree.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: If the foreign credentials are not exactly translated, is that a problem?
Answer: Yes! You need to submit an exact translation, or the agency will return the documents and this will delay the process.

Question: Is there a charge for the foreign credential evaluation?
Answer: Yes, each agency has their own rate for the course by course evaluation.

Question: May the student contact the stateside agency directly?
Answer: Yes, contact information is provided for each approved agency.
