Credential Evaluation Policies

The U.S. government does not set standards for the evaluation of foreign educational credentials. SpanTran bases its evaluations on extensive in-house research, information gained through participation in professional development opportunities, and on-line and print resources. SpanTran is a member of NACES® but evaluation methodologies and outcomes vary among NACES member organizations. The recipient retains the right to accept, modify, or reject the recommendation(s) listed on the evaluation.

SpanTran does not knowingly evaluate falsified or altered documents. In cases of confirmed forgeries, SpanTran shares this information with NACES member organizations and notifies other entities as deemed appropriate. General Analysis evaluations state recommended U.S. equivalency/ies and establish recognition/accreditation. Course Analysis evaluations additionally list coursework with a converted U.S. grade and credit value for each course, and a cumulative grade point average. Divisional Course Analysis evaluations provide the same information and also indicate the course level as follows: L = lower level (required prerequisites and entry-level undergraduate coursework), U = upper level (advanced-level undergraduate coursework), and G = graduate level (beyond undergraduate level coursework). Engineering and Teacher Course Analysis evaluations group courses by category. Nursing Course Analysis evaluations provide the same information as Divisional Course Analysis evaluations, and also include clinical and/or practical training if listed on the submitted documentation. Course Analysis evaluations include recommended U.S. semester credit hours. In the U.S., one semester credit hour requires a minimum of 15 contact hours of theoretical instruction or 30 to 45 contact hours of laboratory and/or practical instruction per semester. A typical student enrolled in full-time studies in U.S. higher education earns approximately 30 semester credit hours per academic year. SpanTran converts foreign academic credits, units, hours, etc. into U.S. semester credit hours regardless of the number of foreign credits, units, hours earned or completed. Courses may be assigned a lower number of U.S. semester credit hours than the applicant expects to receive; some courses may receive only one or two credits while others may receive no credit at all. Evaluations state the total recommended credit hours and may list courses for which no U.S. credit is recommended.

Foreign grades are converted to U.S. letter grades based on the 4.00 system. Letter grade values are generally: A = 4.00, A- = 3.67, B+ = 3.33, B = 3.00, B- = 2.67, C+ = 2.33, C = 2.00, C- = 1.67, D+ = 1.33, D = 1.00, D- = 0.67/D-, F = 0.00. A grade point average/GPA is a weighted average by which recommended credits per course are multiplied by the 4.00-based grade per course arriving at quality points. The total number of quality points are then divided by the total number of attempted credits. SpanTran lists the equivalent grade per course, including failures, incomplete, withdrawn, and pass grades. Failures are included in grade point average calculation. In cases of pass/fail grades, pass grades are awarded credit but not factored into the grade point average. If a specific course is attempted multiple times, the evaluation only includes the first and final attempts. The cumulative grade point average/CGPA will reflect both grades.
