Foreign higher education degrees and credits are recognized if evaluated course-by-course by an evaluation service approved by the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (find a list of evaluation services at www.naces.org).
- The evaluation must specify that the credits and/or degree are the equivalent of credits and/or degrees from a regionally accredited U.S. institution of higher learning.
- If the evaluation service is not a member of NACES, or if the equivalency is not to a regionally accredited U.S. institution of higher learning, the credits and/or degree will not be counted toward your ladder level.
