Students that have foreign college transcripts and high school transcripts need to have them evaluated through a National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES). This will ensure these courses/programs allow transfer credits into our programs/curriculums and validate degree completion.
http://www.naces.org/ guides you through 19 different choices for current members of NACES that we can use for evaluation.

Choose one:

1.  TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) – SSC institutional code is 1688. Paper-based test (minimum score of 500) or Internet-based test (minimum total score of 61 AND no score below 18 on both reading and writing sections).
