Make sure all documents are issued with the institution’s stamp or seal. We prefer to receive translations from the World Education Services or Educational Credential Evaluators.
Remember your transcript must contain the following:

And, where appropriate, the degree name and the date the degree was conferred.

NEC can transfer up to 6 credits of AP scores for undergraduates who earned scores of 4 or 5 on the AP Test. Please submit your official score report through CollegeBoard. We are unable to transfer the music AP test.
NEC accepts both HL and SL IB scores, though only scores of 6 or 7 will be awarded credit. We are able to award up to 6 credits total for IB scores, and these will be applied toward elective credits.
To send your IB scores, please follow these directions copied from the IB.org site:
"When results are released, they will be made available to institutes via an IB secure website, or on a paper transcript if the institute does not make use of the IB secure website.
IB graduates can request that transcripts be sent to institutions directly by placing a request through rrs.ibo.org.
In addition to requesting a transcript be sent to universities, you may have to request that your results and/or certificate be legalized. Read more about legalization."
