Foreign transcripts
All applicants with foreign academic credentials must provide a World Education Services (WES) ICAP course-by-course evaluation of those credentials. Because this process can take some time, applicants should submit their transcripts to WES at least one month in advance of the application deadline.
Through special arrangements with HAMPCAS, WES will deliver its credential evaluation report directly to HAMPCAS by secure electronic transmission. This expedites the delivery of the evaluation report as well as images of the applicant’s verified transcripts to HAMPCAS and allows HAMPCAS to process the report most efficiently.

DO NOT mail any other documents to HAMPCAS, including thesis, dissertations, or pre-secondary or secondary transcripts.
