All students requesting advanced standing credit for coursework completed outside of the United States must have a full course-by-course evaluation of their transcript(s) completed by a credentials evaluation service. While the College does not recommend any particular evaluation service, the following have been frequently used by our students. However, we strongly encourage you to shop carefully for price and quality of service. In addition, if you plan to transfer to another college or university you may want to check with that institution to make sure that your evaluation will be accepted there. This step will assure that you do not have to obtain a second expensive evaluation in the future.

Once received by the College, you will receive a written notice of the official determination of credits to be awarded. This process takes approximately four (4) weeks from the time the College receives the official evaluation. Please be sure your Montgomery College record correctly shows your major, i.e. the curriculum in which you plan to graduate. Your declared major can affect the determination of credits to be awarded. In some circumstances you may be requested to provide course descriptions along with the evaluation service report. Please note that you may also select other similarly qualified services. For further information you may contact the evaluation office at your home campus.
