To allow you to register for appropriate classes at Purdue, every effort is made to complete evaluations of all transcripts and examinations received prior to your arrival on campus. A report will be mailed to you or available at the ISS front desk for you to pick up. Your Academic Advising Office will also receive this information. A tentative or "Pending" credit evaluation report may be produced from unofficial transcripts or examination results slips. No credit will be added to your permanent Purdue record until a final official transcript or attested copy of your Examination Certificate has been received by ISS. You must request that your university or Examination Board send these documents to the Office of International Students and Scholars with an official certified English translation (as applicable) OR you must bring an original or attested copy of your final transcript or examination certificate with you to ISS with an official English translation. Also bring official course descriptions from your university for each course completed or examination passed. Documents received for evaluation after your arrival will be evaluated as soon as possible.

All final transcripts or certificates must be submitted for credit evaluation before the end of your first term at Purdue.  No credit will be granted for documents presented after the first term unless prior special arrangements have been made with your admission counselor.

If you wish to attempt to establish advance credit by taking Purdue examinations, your academic advisor can arrange for you to take examinations in math, sciences, foreign languages, and other academic areas to meet some degree requirements.
