## Accepted Academic Evaluators

We accept evaluations done by either International Education Research Foundation (IERF) or TEC (formerly SpanTran). Note that BYU-Idaho uses these services in a joint agreement with BYU, BYU-Hawaii, and Ensign College. Therefore, many of the references on these organizations' websites will refer to BYU and not specifically to BYU-Idaho, even though BYU-Idaho is included in the evaluation service agreement.

Choosing alternate evaluations may result in additional fees and a delay in the assessment. We suggest that you arrange for your academic documents to be submitted to IERF or TEC 4-6 weeks before our admission application deadline in order to allow enough time for the company to submit the evaluation to CES.

If you have completed less than 24 college semester credit hours, please have your high school (secondary education) records, as well as any college work completed outside the United States, submitted for evaluation. If you have 24 college semester credit hours or more completed outside the United States, you will only need to submit your college work for evaluation.

IERF

The preferred agency of CES is the International Education Research Foundation (IERF). Please select the "Detail Report" option. 
 
More About IERF

TEC

TEC has a website for all CES schools. Follow the instructions to apply for a course analysis of your non-U.S. transcripts.

## About Kamron

I was born in Oklahoma, raised in Texas, and finished high school in Missouri. After graduating high school, I served from 2015-2017 in the Ghana Kumasi Mission, pounding fufu and eating mangoes. When I returned home from my mission, I packed up my car and drove myself out to Rexburg, Idaho for my first semester of school. While attending BYU-Idaho, I was an EFY counselor, HXP trip leader (formerly HEFY), academic advisor, and student council leader. Soon after I graduated Summa Cum Laude from BYU-Idaho, I joined the Army National Guard. Eventually, I found my way back to BYU-Idaho and now serve as your college rep! When I am not doing homework for my graduate school program, you will find me playing a sport of some kind, hiking local trails, reading a book, or spending time with my awesome friends.
