International Transcripts
International institutions must be licensed or officially recognised by the Education Department or Ministry of the country in which the institution operates to be eligible for transfer of credit or degree status. AIU follows strict policies concerning academic integrity, international students with foreign educational credentials must submit authentic foreign academic documents from all upper-secondary and post-secondary educational institutions. Students with foreign educational credentials are conditionally accepted for admissions prior to evaluation and validation of their foreign educational credentials. Evidence of valid foreign educational credentials can be from a university-approved foreign credential evaluation agency, or, in pre-approved circumstances, a written evaluation from a properly trained credential evaluator employed by the university. Any forged/altered academic documents will be retained as property of the school and not returned to the student.
This is required for all transcripts, including transcripts from international secondary schools and/or institutions of higher education, which may require a credential evaluation. The Registrar's Office will ultimately verify and/or certify the institution's eligibility for transfer credit or degree equivalency.
Several credential evaluation services are available to students. Services that are either recognized by AACRAO (Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers) or a member of NACES (National Association of Credential Evaluation Services, Inc.) are acceptable services. Contact the Registrar's Office for a listing of such organizations. Students are responsible for all applicable fees.
