First, create an account on wes.org, and choose: "Course-by-Course Report", if you are planning to stay in the USA after graduating, add "ICAP" to the Credential Evaluation. Pay WES the necessary fees online with your Mastercard or Visa card. Then; Download the "International Transcript Request Form" and print 2 copies. Go to the 2 different schools, tell them that you need to send your transcripts to an Organization in the USA - WES. The address to use for the Transcript is boldly written on the "International Transcript Request Form" Make sure you submit 1 copy of the "International Transcript Request Form" each to the 2 schools, Fill part A of the form and inform them that whoever is going to sign the Transcript MUST fill, sign and stamp Part B of the form. Follow the procedure to get transcripts from each of the schools. Read the all the posts to get a clear roadmap/instructions to follow. Then, the schools will send the transcript to WES. Hello guys, please how do I possibly send my full transcript to WES? I did my ND and HND in two different institutions. 1 Like |

Chief, This is my excerpt in another post on Nairaland, read it: Admission in the USA is like job hunting, you need a strong profile, great grades (even low grades), if you have had a strong practical experience in your field, that's excellent, Statement of Purpose (SOP), not all school require it for Masters degree, strong CV/Resume - strong leadership skills, great score in GRE - not all school require GRE for Masters degree (if you are a STEM student - just as you are, then your Quant Score need to be impressive), Letters of recommendation (LOR) - you dont need people with High-Title (that is the mistake most people make), you only need people who can vouch for your seriousness to study, hard-work, diligent, leadership skills. For instance, you are diligent with your Church's activities, it is more useful and worthwhile for that your small local pastor to write a carefully-worded LOR for you that will create a lasting impression in the heart of Admissions Committee than for that your Manager that you see once every 3/4 months in the Office. Most schools require TOEFL, while some waive it for Nigerians since we studied in English in the first 16 yrs of our life. So Brother, that you had a pass in ND should not deter you. Your future is not predicated on grades. You will need to send both ND + HND Transcript to WES. Note: "WES evaluates your HND+ND program as a complete 5-year undergraduate program" adeyemiaa: |

Good day all.. I am on my WES procedure now. On the website, it says final secondary examination result must also be sent. And your diploma certificate. Is this necessary guys? Or just the transcripts? Please I need an urgent reply Thank you and God bless |
Re: What Is The Hnd Equivalent In Usa by socialmediaman: 2:56pm On Sep 30, 2018 |
dbblessboy: Do you have a HND? Are you evaluating for BSc equivalence? If so, what you need to send to them are your HND transcripts (Preferably sent directly to them by your Institution) and a photocopy of your HND degree certificate or statement of result (make a photocopy of what you have and send to them). Your secondary school certificates are not necessary if you're evaluating for Bsc. Note: in some cases they may send the documents back to your school by postal mail and email to confirm that these documents originated from them, if that happens, keep in touch with your school to ensure the documents arrived and are being confirmed. I heard in some institutions they may require you pay some money for your credentials to be confirmed. Just to be clear since i do not know what you're evaluating for, they need BOTH transcripts and certificates Wish you all the best 1 Like |

fiwajomi23: First, congrats on your good academic performance. To answer your question, some institutions (especially the ivy leagues) require GRE testing as part of their admission consideration requirements while many others do not require GRE testing but they do consider it and it may increase your chances as well. Before you apply to any institution, however, first get your transcripts evaluated for BSc equivalence. World Education Services (WES) is one of the most reputable credential evaluation institutions out there which is respected by most universities and colleges. Note: It is highly advisable that you DO NOT send your transcripts directly to the school you’re applying for admission, get your transcripts evaluated first and confirmed as BSc equivalent by WES, then send them the evaluated copy. This is because they (or their own evaluation body) may misunderstand your qualifications as the degree is titled “HND” instead of BSc, but proactively evaluating your transcripts through WES makes everything clear and easy for them. When admitted, they may require the official transcripts directly from your school, you can then request your school to send the official copies to them. Also, when you’re requesting for your transcripts from your school, request for both ND and HND as you need them both to evaluate for BSc. WES is in USA and Canada as well so depending on the country you want to further your education, their office in that country will assist you. All the best with your hustle 2 Likes |

Big thanks to all those who have contributed one way or another to enlighten us. Every one is talking abt evaluating ND & HND credentials 2 further education abroad but my question is, can one also evaluate ND & HND to be BSc equivalent and apply for jobs or scholarship with the evaluated copy outside Nigeria? Or the evaluation stuff is 4 only those who wants to further. I don't have the financial power to further so would want job or scholarship abroad where the cert might be of value than here. |
Re: What Is The Hnd Equivalent In Usa by socialmediaman: 3:39am On Oct 01, 2018 |
raindrop99: Yes you can evaluate your ND, HND for work related or other purposes, not just for college admission purposes. From WES website: “A credential evaluation is a comparison of your academic accomplishments to standards in the U.S. or Canada. This report helps institutions like schools, employers, licensing boards, or immigration authorities better understand your educational background.” https://www.wes.org/about-wes-credential-evaluation/ 2 Likes |

Re: What Is The Hnd Equivalent In Usa by raindrop99: 7:38pm On Oct 01, 2018 |
socialmediaman:Thanks bro for your timely response but after evaluation of credentials, when applying for jobs/scholarship abroad which usually states that requirements should be bachelor's degree, can i apply such stating that I have bachelor's degree or I'm suppose to say HND considering the fact that cert has been evaluated 2 bsc standard and requirement needed in the assumed job/scholarship is bachelor's? That is, if I'm to state that I have bachelor's during application, then I'm suppose to indicate the school I got it from on the other hand, stating HND might not meet the requirement. Am a bit confused here. Also, how does the evaluated copy looks like, is it like a cert or in mail to be printed in A4 paper? God bless |

Re: What Is The Hnd Equivalent In Usa by socialmediaman: 11:19pm On Oct 01, 2018 |
raindrop99: You’re welcome. As per your question, after your HND is evaluated to BSc, you’re qualified to apply when Bachelor’s Degree is a requirement, that’s why you evaluated your HND Degree in the first place. |

Good morning to u all hope our night was decent? @socialmediaman one of my former lecturer who is currently having his PhD in York university told me this morning tru our chat that most university in the U.S and Canada don't give scholarship to HND holder, and that there is no way I can gain admission into any of this uni without GMAT, GRE, TOEFL and the like. Though I told him I have seen testimony of some of my people on Nairaland but at the same time I can't tell him that he is lying as our culture don't encourage that. so my Oga... I don't know if u have any thing to say to this sir because what I was planning before is to do my certificate evaluation tru WES next month and later try to apply to one or two university without using GRE, GMAT or Toefl because I don't have the luxury of time to get my hand on some of the material and start jacking because my PPA is a little bit demanding. many thanks to u sir... |
Re: What Is The Hnd Equivalent In Usa by socialmediaman: 11:01am On Oct 02, 2018 |
fiwajomi23: The problem is that a lot of people do not know about credential evaluation or what it really does. I have a friend who got their HND from Nigeria but traveled to the US and started undergrad degree simply because they didn’t know they had a degree already. If you just send your HND certificate directly to the school, you could be denied admission because the school does not understand what HND means. That’s why you proactively do credential evaluation. This tells the school that your HND is a bachelors degree though titled differently. The purpose of this thread is to educate people. I believe you have read about the experiences of the people who wrote extensively earlier. I can confirm to you that with credential evaluation, many universities will accept you directly for a masters degree, not just that, some universities do not require GRE, many others do. Check this list, you can verify directly on the websites of the schools listed: https://www.gradschools.com/get-informed/before-you-apply/choosing-graduate-program/grad-schools-no-gre 2 Likes |
