Instructions for Requesting a Faculty Credential Evaluation
The instructions below and the corresponding Faculty International Credential Evaluation Request Form
are only to be used in cases when
1. UCF staff submits the evaluation request on behalf of the applicant AND
2. UCF assumes responsibility for all fees associated with the evaluation.
In all other cases, the applicant should complete a standard evaluation available on our Website at
www.wes.org and follow the application and submission instructions provided at that location.
GENERAL INFORMATION
World Education Services provides two types of reports for credential evaluation:
Document-by-document evaluation (DxD) - This report verifies, identifies and describes each
diploma or certificate, indicates periods of education, and provides a US equivalency for each
credential.
Course-by-course evaluation (CxC) - In addition to providing all of the elements included in the
DxD report noted above, the CxC report lists all of the subjects completed at the post-secondary
level, provides a US semester and grade equivalent for each course and a US grade point average
on a 4.0 scale. This report is typically requested when it is necessary to document and evaluate
specific course work in addition to the degree(s) completed.
Please note: UCF requires a course-by-course evaluation for all faculty who will teach. If WES
determines that a course-by-course evaluation cannot be prepared, a document-by-document
evaluation will be issued along with a refund of the difference in fees.
REQUIRED DOCUMENTS
In order to complete a faculty credential evaluation, WES requires the following documents:
1. Evaluation Request – A completed UCF-WES Faculty International Credential Evaluation Request
Form is required in all cases.
2. Credential Documents – For both DxD and CxC evaluations please provide the following documents
for each credential for which an evaluation is sought. These requirements apply to ALL credential
levels (bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral).
• Clear and legible photocopies of all degree certificates.
• Academic transcripts to be sent directly to WES by the institution(s) attended. The specific
documents needed, will vary somewhat by country of education. For more specific instructions
and information on obtaining proper documents, visit www.wes.org/required and select the
country of education. An International Transcript Request Form follows the Evaluation Request
Form.

3. Translation - For any credential(s) obtained in a country where English is not an official language,
the documents submitted must be issued in the language of the home country and must be
accompanied by precise, word-for-word English translations. For a list of exceptions, please refer to
the footnote below 1 . Also, please note that translations may be based on photocopies of the credential
documents.
To have documents translated into English, you may contact University Language Services, Inc.
