[La-cgs] WES evaluation requirements?

[Sheryl Shoemaker]

I think it would make a great difference in the time it takes to review the international transcripts.

Subject: [La-cgs] WES evaluation requirements?

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
