Credential Evaluation guide
The following presentation will guide you through the WES evaluation process and
help answer some questions you may have.
There are two types of transcripts:
WES offers two types of evaluations:
• A Document-by-Document evaluation contains a description of your credentials, including name, year awarded, name of institution attended, and major field of study. It also provides the U.S. equivalent for each credential. If you have only completed high school before attending CU then you will choose this evaluation. Sample
• A Course-by-Course evaluation contains all of the information in a Document-by-Document evaluation and in addition, it lists the equivalent US credit and grade for each post-secondary course. If you have taken both high school and college courses before attending CU you will choose this option. Sample
ESL: WES must be completed and received by Admissions BEFORE you can be accepted into undergraduate or graduate studies. Remember, you only have 60 days to be accepted after you complete ESL and WES takes 2 weeks once they receive your documents.
Undergraduate: WES must be received by Admissions before your first semester is completed, otherwise you cannot register classes your second semester.
Graduate: WES must be received by Admissions before you can be accepted.

The documents you are required to send to WES depend upon the country you studied in.
To determine what you are required to send you will need to look up your country on the WES website - www.wes.org/required/index.asp
When sending your documents to WES, the school or organization in which you are requesting transcripts from must send the documents in a sealed and signed envelope similar to the photo below. This guarantees authenticity.
