information is issued and the file is placed on hold until all the necessary
material has been received to the satisfaction of WES.
Re-Evaluations Requests for re-evaluation based on documents that
were not submitted with the initial application constitute a new evaluation
and a second payment is required.

determines that a course-by-course evaluation cannot be prepared, a
document-by-document evaluation will be issued along with a refund
of the difference in fees.

countries require the payment of a fee in order to verify educational
credentials. When an institution requests such a payment. The
