International Transcript Review

Current UMass Students Who Studied Outside the US Prior to Attending UMass:
The evaluation of international credits generally involves extended research and generally cannot be conducted by appointment. Materials submitted will be reviewed by a transfer counselor and a written confirmation of awarded credit will be sent to students within a 2-3 week period. If students wish to discuss the evaluation after it has been done, an appointment with a transfer counselor may be made at that time.

Current UMass Students Who Are Going on an Education Abroad Program:
Go to the International Programs Office, 455 Hills South to complete all paperwork required before the abroad program begins to ensure the credits are evaluated by the Education Abroad Registrar and are properly transferred back to UMass.

Are You Requesting a First-Time Review of a New Transcript?
Bring your official transcript or other documentation to the Records Office, 207 Whitmore.  Your file will be forwarded to the Admissions Office for review by a transfer counselor.
After the review is completed, written confirmation of credit awards will be sent to you.  IMPORTANT: In order to receive transfer credits, you must submit an OFFICIAL transcript or other document. If you are unable to obtain an official document from your school and if you have an unofficial document in your possession, we will make a certified copy of your original document at the reception desk of the Admissions Office.

Are You Requesting a Revision of Previously Reviewed Credits?
Bring course descriptions, syllabi, and/or additional information to the Records Office,
207 Whitmore. Your file will be forwarded to the Admissions Office for review by a transfer counselor.

If You Do Not See Your Credits on SPIRE in Two to Three Weeks:
Call the Admissions Office at (413)-545-0222 to check on the status of your transcript review.  Please mention that it is an INTERNATIONAL evaluation.
