International Applicants

If your bachelor’s degree is from a university outside of the United States and Canada, the official transcript or copy must first be evaluated by an ASCP-approved evaluation agency, see ASCP International Procedures for Certification Exam. The full course-by-course evaluation is preferred. Only evaluations from these listed agencies will be accepted.
