  • If acquiring official documents directly from the issuing institution is challenging or not possible (e.g., in regions affected by political instability, natural disasters, or other force majeure events), ERES may accept Original Physical Documents submitted by the applicant.

Acceptable Document for Provisional Evaluations (when no original documents are available):

  • Scanned copies of official documents may be accepted in certain circumstances.
  • Applicants should confirm with the recipient institution whether an evaluation based on unofficial documents will be accepted.

Note:

This guideline applies to all evaluations except those for professional licensure. For document requirements specific to licensure evaluations, please refer to the dedicated pages.

If you completed a research-based or non-coursework program, your university must send a letter directly to ERES confirming that no transcript is available, as your program was entirely research-based. This letter will serve as a substitute for the transcript.
