Students who are seeking a review of potential transfer credit from international postsecondary educational institutions need to

• Be admitted and be seeking an undergraduate degree at UMUC.
• Mail their official international transcripts to the international credit evaluation services selected by UMUC. (see below)
• Pay fees associated with the international evaluation.
• Have all official transcripts from any U.S. institution previously attended sent to UMUC.

Listed below are the companies that can evaluate your international credentials. All are independent and not affiliated with UMUC.

• 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.

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.
