Evaluating student transcripts of students who come from different countries, when they have them, can be a bit tricky.

Here are a few resources that might help schools:

Guest Post: Evaluating Transcripts: Getting it right, one student at a time

A Guide for the Placement and Transcript Evaluation of Foreign-Born Students is from The Broward County School District.

Evaluating Foreign Transcripts:The A-Z Manual is from The New York City Department of Public Education.

The Institute of Education Sciences has two good resources, though their site is off-line as I publish this post. This has happened a few times recently, but I assume they’ll be back up soon:

Making The Grade

Finding the Right Starting Point: Obtaining, Interpreting, and Evaluating International Transcripts
