College Credits

[JSW 0]

Hello VJ,

I have a question some one may know about or have experience with. My fiancee from HCMC VN has a BA in IT Tech. She has her degree but missplaced the paperwork (diploma) Its going to take some work to get the admin clerk at her old school to do her job and just get my fiancee her transcripts... (prolly more than a little "coffee money") but the question is one she gets her school records when she comes to the USA will any of her course credits be transferable to a US college or JC?

Greetings!

First things first.

1. - Documents such as high school diploma,transcripts of records in college/diploma must be submitted to any members of NACES.

http://www.naces.org/. I prefer https://www.ece.org/

2. Have them evaluate your record, once done, they will send a copy to you and later may request a copy to be mailed directly to the school of her choice. for further evaluation, now it all depends upon the schools policy, some will credit it,some will simply ask her to retake the subject especially if its more than 3 years or esp major subjects). it all depends upon the school. some school will allow her to challenge the subject by taking a test of that subject.

3. If her documents are not in english ,it must be translated to english before submitting for evaluation.

4. I strongly suggest to have her use the internet and search for schools and read it's policy.

from ece evaluators here is what they needed:(Vietnam)

At any time during the evaluation process, ECE reserves the right to request the following: Original documents; documents to be sent directly to ECE by issuing institutions; and/or a plan of studies that includes the units, credits, or number of hours of instruction for each subject.

• All original official educational credentials issued in the official language of the country (Vietnamese or French) and one complete set of photocopies, beginning with the final year of secondary school. Send all those which apply to your educational history.

• Photocopies of English translations. You may prepare the translations yourself, as long as they are complete, literal, word-for-word, and in the same format as the original document. Please do not submit original translations; they will not be returned.

• Subject Analysis, Catalog Match, and Health Professions Licensure reports require a syllabus or other type of course descriptions to be submitted for all postsecondary academic subjects.

• If you submit insufficient documentation, we will contact you. We will keep your application active for six months, but you may request an extension. If we do not hear from you within six months or by the end of the extension, we will inactivate your application. A $60 re-activation fee is required if you want us to resume our evaluation after that date. If another six months passes without us hearing from you, we will discard all documentation. If you contact us after your documents have been discarded, a new application form, evaluation fee, and all documentation will be required.

• With the exceptions noted below, ECE will return original documentation sent in response to the instructions in Required Documentation and any other original documentation specifically requested by ECE. You may request courier delivery for their return. If you do not request courier delivery, we will return your original documents via regular mail. All non-original documents, all documents sent directly to us by academic institutions, original curricula and syllabi, and all photocopies become ECE's property and will not be returned.
