International Admissions at the University of North Texas uses a variety of sources to determine equivalencies. It is important to note that the list of equivalencies on our website is not complete, but rather represents the most common credentials we receive from each country.

This office utilize internationally recognized sources such as:

• A Guide to Educational Systems around the World (NAFSA: Association of International Educators)
• Foreign Educational Credentials Required (American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers)
• The International Association of Universities World Higher Education Database
• The Country Index (International Education Research Foundation) 
• Many other country-specific texts and resources

International Admissions follows the best practices in the industry as explored and examined through regional, national, and international conferences held several times a year. We research the recommendations made by international education organizations such as the National Association of Foreign Student Advisers (NAFSA) and the National Council on the Evaluation of Foreign Educational Credentials. 

Our information does not always coincide with respected evaluation agencies. Oftentimes, those agencies evaluate credentials for employment, professional licensing, and immigration concerns, while we evaluate credentials exclusively for their education placement at this institution.
