Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

The process of obtaining an academic evaluation can often feel overwhelming for many international applicants. With various requirements and the potential for delays, it\u2019s easy to become stressed. However, The Evaluation Company (TEC), formerly known as SpanTran, is dedicated to streamlining this process and ensuring that it is as smooth and efficient as possible. In this article, we will explore the most common delays that clients experience during the evaluation process and go over how you can avoid them to ensure that you receive your evaluation as quickly as possible. To get started, let’s go over the three steps that are required for an evaluation to be completed.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Online Application and Academic Documents<\/strong><\/p>\n

The journey begins with filling out our online application<\/a>, which you can easily access on our website. This initial step is crucial as it sets the foundation for your evaluation process. During the application, you will be prompted to upload scanned copies or clear photos of all relevant academic documents that you wish to have evaluated and indicate which institution – if any – you would like us to send your evaluation to.<\/p>\n

It’s important to include comprehensive documentation, especially if you have completed a degree. Ensure that you attach your degree certificate or diploma, clearly indicating your graduation date. This information is vital, as it helps us assess your academic achievements accurately. Omitting any required documents or failing to provide clear images can lead to delays, so be meticulous during this step.<\/p>\n

Step 2: English Translations<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the common pitfalls in the evaluation process is the lack of English translations for documents issued in a foreign language. Many clients initially submit their applications without these translations, only to later reach out in confusion about the status of their evaluations. To avoid such setbacks, it\u2019s essential to provide certified English translations of all pertinent academic documents upfront. If you rely on an outside translator, the translator must be certified by the American Translator Association (ATA)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have translations available, The Evaluation Company offers translation services to assist you. However, these services can only be initiated after your initial application has been completed. Our translation team must first review your academic documents to determine which documents require translation and which do not, ensuring that we do not overcharge you for your translation.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Document Verification<\/strong><\/p>\n

The third and final step in the evaluation process is the verification of your academic credentials. Verification is the process we use to authenticate your documents and ensure they are not fraudulent. In order to verify the authenticity of your documents, you must contact your foreign institution and ask them to mail or email your official academic documents directly to The Evaluation Company\u2019s Houston office or verification@evalcompany.com. We then compare the documents you provided us with the ones sent by your institution. If you choose to have your documents sent to us via email, make sure your university sends the documents to us from an official university email address.<\/p>\n

Not all credentials need to be verified, however.\u00a0 Verification is only required for your highest post-secondary (university) credential from each country. For instance, if you have both a bachelor\u2019s and a master\u2019s degree from India, only the master\u2019s degree needs verification. However, if your bachelor\u2019s degree is from India and your master\u2019s is from England, both degrees must be verified.<\/p>\n

If you are only evaluating secondary school credentials – such as a high school diploma for example – we generally do not require verification. There are a few exceptions to this, however. Specifically, The Evaluation Company requires verification for secondary credentials from Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Nigeria, Liberia, The Gambia, Ghana, and Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n

If you do not want to deal with arranging for verification on your own, The Evaluation Company can verify your documents on your behalf with our Document Verification Service for most credentials. Our verification team will contact your foreign institution to verify your documents on your behalf. Please note that verification costs can vary by country, and detailed pricing information is provided during the application. However, it’s important to clarify that our verification service is not a document retrieval service; we cannot retrieve documents for you, only verify them.
