Who is eligible for the WES Gateway Program?

by Alfredo Mejia,

WES Education Services

January 15, 2021

To be eligible for the WES Gateway Program, you must be:

  • Currently living in the United States
  • Referred by a WES partner organization—for more information contact us (select “WES Gateway Program” as the question category).
  • Educated in one of the following countries: Afghanistan, Eritrea, Iraq, Syria, Türkiye, Ukraine, or Venezuela
  • Unable to obtain your academic documents from your institution, and have proof of your academic attainment, such as a transcript, degree certificate, or professional license

WES corroborates these claims using the best information and resources available. If only a partial transcript is available, WES may be able to reconstruct the degree profile and courses likely taken to attain that credential.

If you have your academic documents in a sealed envelope, you are not eligible for the WES Gateway Program. You can apply for a standard WES credential evaluation.

Note regarding education obtained in Ukraine: Please visit the Important WES Notices page for updates on our evaluation policy.

Note regarding education obtained in Afghanistan: WES evaluates education from 31 universities if it was completed before August 15, 2021. Study completed between 1996 and 2001 cannot be evaluated at this time.
