Transfer Equivalency Database

No transfer credit will be processed by Millersville University staff until final & official transcripts have been submitted to internationaladmissions@millersville.edu. 

For those who hold university-level credit.

Millersville University staff articulate international credentials in-house and utilize best practices set forth by ACCRAO Edge & TAICEP.

All applicants can submit a clear copy of their credentials (transcripts and/or consolidated marksheets) in both the original language and in English to have an in-house evaluation done by Millersville University.

This evaluation completed by Millersville University staff will be the basis for Millersville to establish your degree’s US equivalency & Grade Point Average (GPA) which will ultimately determine your admissibility and transferable credits.

Not Required, but may be requested by MU staff on a Case-by-Case Basis. Can be submitted for consideration by applicants. 

Evaluations completed by members of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) or endorsed members of the Association of International Credential Evaluations (AICE) may be accepted if supplied at the time of admission. Neither a NACES nor AICE evaluation is required. If you choose to obtain an evaluation, please refer to this guide for more information. 

If a copy is submitted at the time of admission, an official evaluation must be supplied to Millersville at the time of enrollment, sent directly by the NACES or AICE member.

Millersville University reserves the right to request an applicant to order an evaluation from an endorsed member of NACES or AICE on a case-by-case basis. Should a NACES or AICE evaluation be required, this will be obtained at the applicant’s own cost. (WES & ECE are NACES members)

Certain NACES or AICE evaluation companies have provided Millersville with unique landing pages for applicants:

Millersville's Guide to the Use of NACES and AICE Evaluations

All credentials provided to Millersville University will be required in both their original language as well as in English.

Translations should come from your high school/university, academic advisor, Education USA advisor, or an ATA-certified translator. Both the original language materials and English language translations are required for application review to ensure any decision issued is an accurate reflection of your earned coursework.

Many National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) or Association of International Credential Evaluators (AICE) credential evaluation companies also provide translation services at an affordable cost. 

There are multiple resources available for displaced applicants who do not have sealed official transcripts for their complete application history. A comprehensive guide to these resources can be found here on the Higher Ed Immigration Portal "Resources and Organizations Supporting Refugees in Credential Evaluation." This is an external website and not a resource of Millersville University, but a useful site to monitor for our refugee applicants.
