Applicants who have completed or are in the process of completing an undergraduate or graduate degree at institutions outside of the United States are required to submit official academic records (transcripts, proof of degree) and an academic credential evaluation to complete their admissions process.
The University of South Carolina Graduate School requires that applicants submitting academic credentials from institutions outside of the U.S. must have their credentials evaluated for equivalency to U.S. accredited coursework on a course-by-course basis by a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES). A list of NACES members can be found at this website: Members – NACES. Transcripts can be sent from approved NACES-accredited transcript delivery services (e.g. WES ICAP, Educational Perspectives, Digitary by Parchment, etc.).
Evaluations are a required component since they determine how your academics are graded compared to the U.S. education system.
If you provided an evaluation reflecting in-progress study, a follow-up course-by-course evaluation showing the complete academic record and degree conferral could be required. Applicants are responsible for paying all fees for such evaluations, upgrades, as well as making arrangements with a NACES accredited agency to send and receive their documents.
If you are Recommended for Admission to the Graduate School, and have not submitted credential evaluation(s), you will not be officially admitted until it is received. All admitted students with international credentials must have a NACES accredited transcript evaluation submitted to be eligible to enroll in courses.
