How do I send Academic Transcripts to WES?

To send your academic transcripts to WES correctly, make sure:
  • They are in a sealed envelope with your institution’s name on it.
  • The seal, stamp, or signature of an official officer at the institution overlaps the back flap of the sealed envelope as shown in the example below.

  • Ask your institution to send your academic transcripts directly to WES.
  • If your institution will not send them directly to us, please review the document requirements for your country to see if you may send them.

Note: WES accepts academic transcripts in sealed envelopes that have not been opened. Documents will not be accepted if the envelope is opened or the seal is broken. Please view the required documents for the country where you studied for more information.

Will WES evaluate all my credentials?

WES evaluates formal academic credentials from institutions it considers to be recognized in other countries. WES also reserves the right to not evaluate documents from certain institutions.

Because WES only evaluates academic degrees, WES does not evaluate the United States Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) credential, short-term certificates, job training certificates, trade qualifications, career development programs, or other certificates of this nature, as they constitute occupational, rather than academic study.

If you are unsure whether WES can evaluate your credential, you may still apply for an evaluation and send in your documents. In many cases, if you apply with a credential or institution that WES does not evaluate, you will receive an error message when you input the program or school on your application.

Can I have more than one credential evaluated?

There is no limit on the number of credentials that WES will include in an evaluation.
