Credential Equivalencies
Admission decisions can be made using copies of official transcripts, but these will be considered “unofficial.” Official transcripts can be emailed to InternationalAdmissions@Millersville.edu by faculty/staff at your high school or institution, can be posted by mail to ATTN: International Admissions, Lyle Hall 1st Floor P.O. Box 1002, Millersville, PA 17551-0302, or can be brought physically to campus at the start of your first term in an envelope sealed by your institution. The original seal cannot be broken.
Please note that all the credentials below must come with your final secondary school transcript and leaving exam scores if applicable. Also, please be sure to submit copies of all qualifying exams taken throughout secondary school (for example: IGCSE final certificates, Class 10 Secondary School Examination Certificates for India, etc.) as these are also necessary to complete your application.

POST-SECONDARY CREDENTIAL EQUIVALENCIES
If you are coming to Millersville University as a transfer applicant or graduate applicant.
Millersville University staff articulate international credentials and utilize best practices set forth by ACCRAO Edge. All applicants can submit a clear copy of their credentials in English to have an in-house evaluation done. This evaluation will establish your degree’s US equivalency, Grade Point Average (GPA), and ultimately determine your transferrable credits.
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. If a copy is submitted at the time of admission, an official evaluation must be supplied to Millersville at the time of enrollment.
Once a Millersville in-house credential evaluation is completed, that decision cannot be contested by using a credential evaluation from a NACES or AICE evaluation company. 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.
Certain evaluation companies have provided Millersville with unique landing pages for applicants:
