International Transcripts
International institutions must be licensed or officially recognized by the Education
Department or Ministry of the country where the institution is in operation to be
eligible for transfer of credit or degree status. Because 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.
