Secondary School or College/University Evaluation
ONE of the following is required:
- If you attended High School in the United States –
official transcript from accredited U.S. high school with graduation
date. The transcript must come sealed directly to the Jefferson
State Community College OR…
- If you attended High School outside the U.S.– an Official
General Evaluation Report from an accredited credential evaluator is
required. This confirms your high school work is equivalent to a
U.S. High School Diploma. You would submit your high school
documents to an evaluation company for a “General” Report
evaluation. We recommend Educational Credential Evaluators
(www.ece.org) as we receive their evaluations electronically, but
will accept evaluations from other NACES accredited evaluators (www.naces.org),
or Lisano International or AACRAO Evaluation Services. PLEASE NOTE:
Students with both high school and college work must be evaluated
through ECE (see below).
ONE of the following is required:
High School and College/University Work
- If you attended college or university overseas, Jeff State
still requires a high school evaluation report. You must use
Educational Credential Evaluators (www.ece.org)
for this evaluation. For international college and/or university
coursework to be considered for transfer credit, an official
“Catalog Match” report is required from ECE. Only ECE “Catalog
Match” evaluation reports are accepted for college transfer credit
(this includes A level, Bac, and Arbitur).
- Official Transcript(s) from U.S. Colleges and Universities
An
official transcript must be sent from each college/university you
attended in the U.S. Official transcripts should be sent directly
from issuing institutions.
