Frequently Asked Questions

What are your rates?

We offer the best rates in the industry – General evaluations from $49, Standard Course by Course evaluations from $99, and Immigration Course by Course evaluations from $199 – all guaranteed Next Business Day. Translations are $24.99 per page for all languages, up to 250 words/page.

How long does it take?

Evaluation orders are due Next Business Day (see T&Cs for conditions). Standard mailing takes approximately one week in the US, and two weeks to Canada. Rush mailing options are available.

What is a General evaluation?

General evaluations include our analysis of your diploma, our assessment of the equivalent degree within the US or Canadian school system, our certification as to our evaluation accuracy, and mailing to one address. A General evaluation is approximately 3-5 pages long.

What is a Course by Course evaluation?

Course by Course evaluations include our analysis of your diploma and transcripts/marksheets, our assessment of the equivalent degree and GPA within the US or Canadian school system, credit calculation, our certification as to our evaluation accuracy, and mailing to one address. Course by Course evaluations are typically 7-9 pages long.

What if I don’t like it?

Our services are backed by the industry’s only Satisfaction Guarantee: If you’re not satisfied with your draft documents, simply cancel prior to mailing for a full refund (excluding rush fees).

Why are your competitors so expensive?

Many of our competitors process orders a lot like they did before the internet – via fax and Fedex. We’re a digital evaluation company, which means we can process your evaluations far more efficiently, keeping our prices to the lowest possible level. It’s why we’re ranked #1 in speed and #1 in price!

Shouldn’t I just get a General evaluation – it’s cheaper?!

It depends what you need your evaluation for. Generally speaking, employers and immigration services prefer more complete information about your degree, so we recommend a course by course evaluation. However, needs vary widely so we always recommend you determine what’s needed before purchasing. For ongoing education applications, course by course is strongly recommended.

What if my documents aren’t in English?

We’re American Translator Association members and have a pool of worldwide, bilingual translators standing by. Document translation is only $24.99/page for all languages (up to 250 words/page), and usually takes 1-3 days. Your translation is certified, and has guaranteed acceptance for work, immigration or education purposes.

Is my evaluation certified?
