All credits completed at institutions of higher education outside of the United States follow a 3-step evaluation procedure.

Step 1 – The Queens College Undergraduate Admissions/Transfer Division will review your transcripts in the beginning of your first semester at Queens College in order to determine how the credits you earned at the international institution translate into Queens College academic disciplines.  You will automatically receive this evaluation by mail during your initial semester at the College.

Step 2 – Once you receive the credentials sheet, you must follow the same procedures as for the faculty evaluation.  For example, if the Undergraduate Admissions Office determined that you have earned the equivalent of 9 credits of Sociology and 15 credits of Music, you must go to the Sociology Department and the Music Department to have the credit transferred to a Queens College equivalent course by the faculty member(s) responsible for international evaluations. 

Step 3 – Once you have visited all departments indicated on the credentials sheet, you must return to the Undergraduate Admissions/Transfer Division (Jefferson 105) and submit the credentials sheet for final verification by the international credit evaluator.
