FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are your rates?

We offer the best rates in the industry – only $75 for a general evaluation, $99 for a high school course-by-course evaluation, and $139 for a post-secondary course-by-course evaluation.

What is a General Evaluation?

General evaluations include our analysis of your diploma, our assessment of the equivalent degree within the US or Canadian school system, our certification as to our evaluation accuracy, notarization and mailing to one address

What is a Course by Course Evaluation?

Course-by-course evaluations include our analysis of your diploma and transcripts/marksheets, our assessment of the equivalent degree and GPA within the US or Canadian school system, credit calculation, our certification as to our evaluation accuracy, notarization and mailing to one address.

What if I don’t like it?

Our evaluations are backed by the evaluation industry’s only Satisfaction Guarantee: If you’re not satisfied with your evaluation, simply cancel prior to mailing for a full refund (excluding rush fees).

Why are your competitors so expensive?

Some of our competitors (we call them ‘Fax’n Fedexes’) have been around for over 30 years, and they will charge you much more for their evaluations because they process orders a lot like they did before the internet. We’re a digital evaluation company, which means we can process your evaluations far more efficiently, keeping our prices to the lowest possible level. It’s why we’re ranked #1 in speed and #1 in price!

Shouldn’t I just get a General Evaluation – it’s cheaper?!

It depends what you need your evaluation for. Generally speaking, employers and immigration services prefer more complete information about your degree, so we recommend a course-by-course evaluation. Having said that, needs vary widely so we always recommend you determine what’s needed before purchasing. For ongoing education applications, course-by-course is strongly recommended.

What if my documents aren’t in English?

We have you covered! We’re American Translator Association members and have a pool of worldwide, bilingual translators standing by.
