Foreign Credentials
Prospective students with post-secondary study and credentials from abroad will likely qualify for admission consideration if the post-secondary study completed required one of the credentials listed below for admission/entry.
Many academic credentials are acceptable for admission. Prospective students who have questions about credentials not listed below should contact their admissions representative or one of the following student affairs counselors.
What You Will Need to Provide
- Copies of any final qualifications awarded.
- Copies of any transcripts, mark sheets, or official academic records of marks or grades achieved in individual courses must also be provided.
- Certified, literal translations of documents not in English may be requested. If you already have translations, please submit them with your documents. If you do not, please do not go to the expense of having translations done. We will advise you if they are needed to complete your application.
TCI’s Office of Credential Verification and Assessment will review all documents submitted and determine if they are acceptable. Where the documentation provided in unclear, or where it does not look like the documents we typically see, the College reserves the right to request the original documents for verification and/or to have the documents verified with the awarding authority before proceeding.
Once You Enroll
All foreign-educated applicants admitted on the basis of copies of credentials must provide the originals for examination as soon as possible after enrolling, but no later than the end of their first semester of study at TCI.
Documents Acceptable for Admission to TCI
The following list includes the most frequently seen secondary school qualifications by country. It is by no means all inclusive, and many other academic credentials held by applicants will also qualify for admissions.
