    Evaluation of Foreign Credentials

    Credential evaluations must be from one of our approved partners:

    Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE), SpanTran/The Evaluation Company (TEC), or World Education Services (WES).

    If your official transcripts are sent to us along with the completed evaluation report, you do not need to send additional copies of the official transcripts to us separately. 

    If you already have a valid (non-expired) evaluation from one of the approved partners, please contact them to have a copy sent directly to the University of Toledo Graduate Admissions Office.

    A foreign credential evaluation is required for all applicants who have completed coursework or degrees at international institutions.
