ABCC applicants with education obtained at an institution outside the United States must, at their expense, have their credentials evaluated by an acceptable agency. Please note that “credentials evaluation” is not the same as credentials verification or translation.
Submit Credential Evaluation Report(s) by Email
Official documentation must be submitted by the agency directly to the ABCC Administrator inbox at ABCCadministrator@aacc.org. An acceptable credential evaluation at a minimum must:
- Confirm degree, degree status, and US equivalency.
- Include the foreign institution, dates of attendance, and date of completion.
- Include the course-by-course breakdown, US credit/unit equivalence, and US grade equivalence.
ABCC does not provide credentials evaluation services. Please refer to your preferred credentials evaluation service with the above requirements to determine the report or service that meets these requirements.
