Terms & Conditions

IIC provides academic credential evaluations for individuals with international education seeking to study, work, or immigrate to the United States. Services include:

• Summary Evaluations
• Course-by-Course Evaluations
• Course-by-Course Evaluations with clinical analysis when requested

Our advisory evaluations represent our best professional judgment based on the available documentation and current U.S. academic standards.

To access our services, you must:

• Be at least 18 years of age
• Submit complete and accurate documentation
• Agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy

Minors must have evaluations submitted by a parent or legal guardian.

All evaluations require:

• A completed application form, online or PDF
• Legible copies of academic documents, including transcripts, diplomas, and translations
• Payment in full before evaluation work begins

After receiving the application, IIC will provide the applicable total and payment instructions. Delays may occur if documents are incomplete, unclear, or not translated into English.

All fees are listed on our website and must be paid in full before evaluation work begins.

Accepted Payment Methods

We accept payment in U.S. dollars by money order, check, cash, or Zelle. After reviewing your application, IIC will provide the applicable total and payment instructions. Evaluation work begins after all required documents and full payment are received.

Refund Policy

If you cancel before IIC begins evaluation work, IIC will refund the amount paid, less a $35 administrative fee.

Evaluation work begins after IIC has received all required documents and payment and the application enters review. Once evaluation work begins, evaluation and rush-processing fees are non-refundable.

Overpayments will be refunded to the original payment method whenever possible, or credited toward another IIC service at the applicant's written request. If IIC cannot provide the requested service, fees for work not performed will be refunded.

Delays caused by missing documents, institutions, verification requests, or circumstances outside IIC's control do not qualify for a refund.

If IIC misses a paid rush deadline for reasons within IIC's control, IIC will refund the rush-processing surcharge.

Standard processing takes 21 business days after all required documents are received and payment is confirmed. Rush services may be available for an additional fee. Timelines may vary with document complexity and circumstances outside IIC's control. The refund terms above explain how delays and missed paid rush deadlines are handled.

Our evaluations are intended for U.S. college or university applications, employment verification, U.S. immigration and visa purposes, and professional licensure.

IIC is not responsible for how a third party—including a school, employer, licensing body, or government agency—uses or interprets an evaluation. Acceptance is not guaranteed.

All website content, including text, design, logos, application materials, and downloadable resources, is owned by or licensed to IIC and is protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

You may view, download, or print materials for your own legitimate use of IIC services. You may not copy, reproduce, republish, sell, impersonate IIC, remove ownership notices, or distribute substantial portions of the website or its code without written permission.

When using our website or applying for services, you must not:

• Submit false, misleading, or forged documents
• Interfere with site functionality or access
• Use our materials or evaluations for unlawful purposes

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel services when we have reason to suspect fraud or abuse.

IIC strives to provide accurate evaluations based on submitted documents, but we cannot guarantee acceptance by any institution, employer, or agency.

IIC shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from use of our evaluations or website.

We may update these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use of our services after changes are posted indicates acceptance of the updated Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
