Hubby(the USC) has a Canadian associates degree, and applied to finish his degree here in the US. The university he applied to told him to go through WES. They did it really fast & accurate. https://www.wes.org/

I have a Bachelors degree in the Philippines. Didn't mean whack when I was applying. They kinda take it into consideration but what matters is your experience. Also, they prefer if you had American education. Not saying this is for all companies/institutions, but it was true for the ones I applied to.

Hi! I'm planning to send my transcript of records to WES for evaluation. Will it be okay if I send it directly since I have the sealed original copy of my transcript, or will it really be my university who will send the transcript to WES? Makes me wonder if WES will accept it if I'm the one sending instead of my university in the Philippines.

I'd just contact them directly and ask. I'm pretty sure he had to send his through the university registrars office.

I did but my friend told me that a faster way is to ask a family member in the Philippines to request for a sealed original copy of transcript and send it to my address in US, then I'll send it through WES. That way there won't be much delays. I appreciate your response!

Your institution in Phil must send your transcript directly to WES with sealed envelope. Or you can go to Phil, get that enveloped sealed,bring back to US and send to WES yourself

Actually, I asked a friend back home in the Caribbean to get me a sealed certified transcript from the college, yes it was addressed to Wes. However he was sending me other stuff, and the envelope for Wes was included in my courier package. So when my package came, I simply removed the letter/transcript and mailed to Wes. Be careful not to tamper or break the university seal, as this is what's really important.

Transcripts are sent or addressed from one university to another or in this case Wes. So even if u got the transcript and a friend coming from your home country was coming to the USA, they could take it with them then u could mail it to Wes, provided the seal is intact.

Also when u apply to Wes ask for mutiple copies at once if you're planning on sending to different employers or schools. You may also use ur copy that WES gives u as a first step but most colleges will want an original evaluation from Wes.

Finally, pay for the storage option with WES so that if u need another transcript u don't have to send all the way back home.

Hope this helps.

P.S. I used text language but don't ever do it for formal correspondence.

The latter is a good option! Thanks!

Thanks for the response! I have my original transcript with me, university seal included but not on a sealed envelope. I brought it with me when I got in the US.

I was thinking of asking a family member to request an original copy of my transcript from my university, and seal it in an envelope and mail it to me in US. Im confused.

Hi NickJohn sorry for the confusion.

Transcripts are requested by you from your university and addressed to another university. So this means a transcript request will never be given or addressed to you the individual.

So if you request this for Wes there are certain steps to be followed. You have to first get in touch with WES and pay for the service of having your transcript evaluated.

They will provide you with a reference number after payment. You will give this reference number to your contact in your home country along with the address for WES to request the transcript. The reference number will need to be included in all future correspondence and clearly stated on the documents and envelope provided by your university as this is how WES will identify you.

When the transcript is ready your contact in your home country can mail or preferably courier the package directly to WES. (My suggestion of including the package in a shipment and send to you was if you were already getting other things from home to save you on courier fees).

When the transcript is ready WES will send directly to the institution you told them and a copy to you depending on how you requested it.

Hope this is clearer. Here's a number for WES 212-966-6311

Before you do anything speak with your institution here and ask which evaluators they accept and you can shop around based on their list as well in case WES isn't the most affordable.

ECE.org is easier. if you have your own TOR you can get it evaluated
