Do I have to have my international transcripts translated and/or evaluated?

KCTCS Colleges do not evaluate foreign transcript for transfer credit. You will need to have them translated, evaluated by the NACES member agency of your choice, and sent directly to your chosen KCTCS College. KCTCS relies on private academic credentialing agencies to complete the evaluation. There will be a charge associated with the evaluation.

International college transcripts must have a course-by-course evaluation from a NACES member in order to be accepted by Admissions. Document-by-document evaluations or credential evaluations without a course-by-course evaluation will not be accepted for transfer credit.

Instruct the evaluation agency to mail an official report directly to the College’s Admissions Office or designated International Admissions Officer (please ensure that this report is emailed to the Admissions Officer as well). Some KCTCS schools allow for electronic delivery of official course-by-course evaluations through the evaluator's official online portal.

Note: Although KCTCS colleges accept translated/evaluated international transcripts for transfer credit purposes, please note that Henderson does not accept international students.

International transcripts should be evaluated by WES or GCE. The transcript will need to be submitted to the Admissions Office.
