A Course-by-Course credential evaluation expands on the Document-by-Document evaluation. Like the Document-by-Document evaluation, the Course-by-Course evaluation includes an evaluation of foreign academic credentials (a university degree, for instance), but the Course-by-Course evaluation also details the subjects covered as part of the academic program of study as stated on the school's transcript of academic record.

A Course-by-Course credential evaluation also includes a conversion of the foreign grading scale and credit system into the U.S. 4.0 grading scale and semester or quarter credit system. The Course-by-Course Application is located here.

Course-by-Course evaluations are typically requested for:

  • Continuing Education (including transfer of credit)
  • Professional or technical employment
  • Teacher Certification
  • Professional Licensure

In addition to Course-by-Course credential evaluations, FIS also offers Document-by-Document evaluations and Expert Opinion evaluations. Click on the links below to learn more.
