Prerequisite Transcript Evaluation form
Individuals who do not have access to a GMail account should email their request and
all transcripts to decker@binghamton.edu.
Graduate
Admitted graduate students may petition to have courses previously completed at other institutions evaluated for transfer or waiver of credit to meet degree requirements.
Review the transfer of credit policy for additional information.
International Students
Students with international transcripts must first have a course-to-course and degree evaluation from World Education Services (WES) or Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE). A WES or ECE evaluation provides Binghamton with consistent information regarding degrees, courses and grades in U.S. equivalencies; this ensures students receive a timely and accurate application review.
