  • International students (coming to the US on a student visa) must have the evaluation sent from that agency directly to:
    Western Iowa Tech Community College
    International Education Institute
    4647 Stone Avenue, Sioux City, Iowa 51106
    or email to internationalstudents@witcc.edu (must come directly from the agency).
  • The evaluation must include the results of any examinations required by the country of origin as proof of successful completion (Example: Ordinary Level and/or Advanced Level examination scores).
  • In the event that a student is unable to have their high school transcript translated and evaluated, the student must successfully complete the High School Equivalency Diploma and submit appropriate documentation of completion to the International Education Institute office (see below).
  • All evaluations must include a GPA.
  • At the discretion of the Office of International Education Institute, students applying to non-Health Sciences programs may be required to have their high school transcript evaluated by an accredited agency.
  • Credit from a non-regionally accredited institution outside of the United States may only transfer as equivalent to a specific Western Iowa Tech course. Western Iowa Tech does not accept coursework as transfer elective credit.
