3. The credential evaluation process can take several weeks to complete, and we strongly urge you to begin the process as early as possible. Your application will not be complete until we have received your official high school transcripts. We accept credential evaluation reports from these select members of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES).

• If you attended high school, college, or university in the U.S., you must have the official transcript(s) sent directly from the school(s) to the Office of Admissions at Indiana State University.
• For students transferring from an international college or university, the Office of the Registrar encourages students to obtain course syllabi or course descriptions of courses previously taken. Syllabi are preferred.
• Students who do not provide syllabi or course descriptions may only expect to receive general elective credit for the courses they have taken. If general credit is awarded for those courses, please make note that such courses may not apply for the degree program. Students should know that provided course syallabi or course descriptions to the Office of the Registrar may not be deemed to be equivalent of a course at Indiana State University and may instead be given general elective credit.
