APPLICATION FOR CREDENTIALS EVALUATION
Thank you for your interest in our service. The Institute for International Credentials Evaluation (the Institute) provides
statements of U.S. educational equivalency of foreign educated persons who need such statements for educational,
employment, immigration and other purposes. The Institute does not evaluate medical degrees.
Institute evaluations are advisory and are not binding for the receiving institution. Institute evaluations are not used for
admission or transcript credit evaluation purposes for undergraduate or graduate admission at California State University,
Fresno. If you are planning to attend classes at California State University, Fresno, please complete the admission
application process, and an evaluation will be done as part of the admission process; you will not need an Institute
evaluation. However, if you are applying for a teacher credential program at the University, you will need to complete
applications for both the Institute and the admissions office. The university ‘s credential analyst needs the Institute report
for teaching credential purposes.
