• Students who do not have any college credits must submit the following:
  • Provide high school transcript, high school equivalency test (HiSet), or GED
  • A resume to indicate activities and experience post high school diploma (or equivalent)

Instructions for international students:

• Submit Transcripts for Credential Evaluations
  • At UMPI, we require all international applicants to submit a credential evaluation report for high school and university transcripts because we do not do evaluations in-house. (There are a few exceptions; please see below for details.) There is a fee for this process that can range from around $85 to over $275 (if you have transfer credit). This evaluation report will translate your grades into US equivalencies.
  • If you are planning on using another provider, they must be endorsed by NACES or  AICE. 
  • What evaluation should I order?
    • Course-by-course evaluation: students with college/university work completed outside of the United States.
    • Course-by-course evaluation: students with a high school transcript AND advanced level work; advanced level work could include A-levels, CXC’s, CAPE exams, etc.
    • Document-by-document evaluation: students with only a high school transcript.
• English Language Proficiency
  • All international students are required to show proof of English language proficiency. There are several ways an international student can do this.

Note: If you are using WES and are from the Caribbean, CXC results need to be sent directly to WES from CXC (cxc.org). China Credentials Verification (CSSD) evaluations cannot be considered. The length of time an evaluation will take varies so please plan accordingly.
