Having international credentials evaluated:

1.    Have your academic records translated into English.If your records have already been translated and notarized by a professional translation service in your country of origin or in the United States, that translation is acceptable. Otherwise, you may find a translating service among the credential evaluating services listed in item 2 below to assist you with this process. The University of Southern Indiana cannot accept translations you have made; the translator must be a trained and certified professional. 

2.   Have a course-by-course evaluation performed by an international credential evaluation service. This evaluation will tell USI two things: if the institution is officially recognized by the Ministry of Education or other accrediting body in your country; and if each class was considered "college level." The evaluation will also give the value of the credits earned according to the U.S. semester system.

Expect the process of having your records translated and evaluated to take at least 8-10 weeks. Translation generally takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the document.The course-by-course evaluation may take up to 8 weeks.

3.   Have the translated and evaluated documents sent to the following address:
