[La-cgs] WES evaluation requirements?

[Menon, Sanjay]

Hi Leland,

At LSUS, we don’t do in-house evaluations.  Instead, require students to submit evaluations from companies that belong to NACES or AICE:

Students who attended institutions outside the United States should submit complete academic records for a course-by-course evaluation using one of the member institutions of the following organizations:
·         National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) www.naces.org<http://www.naces.org/> OR
·         Association of International Credentials Evaluators (AICE) www.aice-eval.org<http://www.aice-eval.org/>
Foreign medical graduates may submit evaluation through:
·          Federation Credentials Verification Service https://www.fsmb.org/fcvs/ <https://www.fsmb.org/fcvs/> OR
·          Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates www.ecfmg.org<http://www.ecfmg.org/>


WES is a member of NACES.

Hope that helps!

Sanjay

Good afternoon from LA Tech everyone,

We are discussing whether to require WES (or similar) transcript evaluations as a standard requirement for international student applications. A few programs on campus already require this, but there is no institution-wide evaluation mandate.

A few institutions are requiring it, I'd appreciate knowing how you're all approaching this and whether you have any general thoughts or feedback on it.

Yours,
-Leland
