Courses taken at an institution outside the United States
College-level courses completed outside the United States and recorded on official transcripts will be evaluated for transfer credit, provided that the institution where the courses were taken is accredited and a translated educational evaluation is provided. All international transcripts must have a certified international credit evaluation in addition to the official documents. King University accepts credential evaluations from any of the NACES approved organizations. We recommend using SpanTran; they have created a custom application for King University applicants to ensure you obtain the correct evaluation at a discounted rate. You can access this custom application by clicking here. *Please contact [email protected] before requesting this service as you may need to request a specific evaluation.
Notarized copies and third-party attestations are not acceptable. Summary mark sheets are not accepted. Individual-year mark sheets from Indian institutions are required.
