Most international students will be required to
submit the Testing of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL; minimum
score is 600 for the paper version or 250 for the computer
version). In addition, scores on the Graduate Record Exams (GREs)
must be submitted and all foreign transcripts must be evaluated for
equivalency. Temple University offers a foreign credentials
evaluation service on a during the months of December through March
each year. The evaluation process can be time consuming and
students are strongly encouraged to get their transcripts to our
office as soon as possible (deadline is December 15th).
Alternatively, outside services such as World Education Services
(WES) will evaluate your transcript in approximately one week for a
fee. Fees for these services are approximately $100-200. The
results of these formal evaluations may be used in the future for
other purposes.
