16 questions

What is an academic credential evaluation?

It explains how education completed in one system compares with education in another. It may help a recipient understand a qualification, its level, and—in a detailed report—the courses studied. The recipient makes its own admission, employment or licensing decision.

Which report should I choose?

Ask the organization that will receive your report. A general report focuses on the qualification; a course-by-course report adds detail about individual subjects. The planning tool helps organize your questions, but does not decide what a recipient will accept.

Can I submit an application now?

Not yet. This is a service preview. You can compare proposed report formats and prepare a checklist, but applications, document uploads, payments and issued evaluations are not available.

How much will an evaluation cost?

ABAE fees, delivery charges, optional services and refund terms will be announced before applications open. No fee is quoted or collected on this website.

How long will an evaluation take?

Processing times have not been announced. Any future timeline will need to explain when processing begins and how incomplete records or additional verification may affect it.

What documents should I begin to organize?

Start by identifying your award certificate or diploma, academic transcript or marksheets, and any records showing a name difference. Ask your institution how it issues official records. Final ABAE submission and translation rules will be published at launch.

Should I send original documents?

Do not mail or upload documents during this preview. No submission address or intake channel has been announced. Wait for official instructions before sending any records.

Will I need an English translation?

If your records are not in English, a translation may be part of the eventual requirements. Confirm the accepted translator and format before paying for a translation. ABAE’s final translation requirements are pending.

Can my institution send records electronically?

Electronic delivery options and institution-verification procedures are still being finalized. Ask your institution which official delivery methods it supports, then compare them with ABAE instructions once published.

Will a university or employer accept an ABAE report?

Acceptance is determined by the receiving organization. ABAE recipient acceptance and professional memberships have not been announced. Confirm both the evaluator and report format directly with your intended recipient before ordering.

Can I use an evaluation for professional licensing or immigration?

These uses can have specific evaluator and report requirements. No eligibility for a licensing board or immigration program is claimed in this preview. Check the relevant recipient’s requirements before proceeding.

Does an evaluation award a degree?

No. A credential evaluation is an assessment of education already completed. It does not issue a degree, admit a student, grant a license or guarantee employment.

Can I see a sample report?

The evaluations page includes a clearly labeled format preview. It is a design illustration only, contains no personal record and is not an issued academic evaluation.

Does the planning tool send my information?

No. The planner uses only non-identifying choices such as your purpose and education level. It keeps them in the current page while you work, and creates a text file only when you choose to download it. There is no application submission.

How can an institution discuss working with ABAE?

Use the institutions page to prepare your report, delivery and verification requirements. Official partnership contacts will be announced at launch. The inquiry builder lets you download a draft for later use; it does not send it.

Is ABAE affiliated with WES?

No affiliation with World Education Services is claimed. ABAE has its own name and visual identity. This website introduces a separate service concept whose operational details are still being finalized.

Still have a question?

Official support contacts are being finalized. You can prepare an inquiry draft for later use.
