The University of Illinois Springfield offers two options for applicants with international credentials to submit their supporting materials to us:
- An evaluation completed by a staff member at UIS
- An external evaluation of their academic credentials through a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES)
An application for admission will not be reviewed until a credential evaluation has been completed. Credentials submitted for evaluation must also be considered official. A document is considered official when it is issued directly by the high school, college, or university where the credential was earned to UIS or the selected NACES member for evaluation.
Transcript evaluation by UIS staff
