Required Academic Records
Applicants who are admitted may be required to provide WES with detailed mark sheets and degree certificates or diplomas. Students should refer to their WES accounts for more information.
Additional Notes about Transcripts/Marks Sheets
Applicants must provide detailed mark sheets for each year of study and all yearly examinations. Individual examinations and papers identify the subjects and show minimum, maximum and awarded marks as well as overall results. Exams and papers will state the level of pass, class and division; rank in class should be indicated if available. NOTE: It may be noted on some university documents that the year of the examination is different from the year taken. Teaching is geared toward the yearly final examination. Occasionally classes have been (and may still be) disrupted due to political events and final exams may be written in the calendar year following. It may take up to another six months for results to be published.
Degree Certificates/Diplomas
Diplomas of official statements from all degree-granting universities with the date of formal conferral.
