5. Please note: a Syllabus of university studies (description of each course or subject studied) may be required for Course-by-Course
Evaluations, but you do not need to send this with your application. If it is needed, JS&A will request it.
Processing Information: Josef Silny & Associates, Inc. reserves the right to request that transcripts or examination results be sent
directly by the issuing institutions or examination boards to JS&A. Academic credentials received directly from foreign institutions
are considered confidential and cannot be given to applicants. The documents you submit with your application, with the exception
of any originals, will become the property of Josef Silny & Associates, Inc. and they will not be returned. Applicants who submit
their own original academic documents must read page two of this application for information on return of original documents by
secure means. When it has been determined that documents submitted for evaluation or translation were forged or altered in any
way, no evaluation report or translation will be prepared and the fees will not be refunded. Fraudulent documents will not be
returned to the applicant. All recipients indicated on the application form will be notified. It is the applicant’s responsibility to
submit the documents which need to be evaluated. If the application is not completed within three months, JS&A will close the file.
A new evaluation fee will be required for updating the file. JS&A will keep applications with academic credentials for one year
only. Please note that all fees are subject to change without notice. Refusal of service: JSA reserves the right to refuse service to
anyone.
In preparing an evaluation report, every effort is made to consult appropriate resources, in order to provide the most accurate
evaluation possible. JS&A will provide a list of the references used in making the specific evaluation upon written request.

Rush evaluation reports will be completed in a timely fashion, in accordance with the type of rush evaluation report requested, upon
