EQUIVALENCY EVALUATION

This evaluation helps applicants determine if their degree is from a qualifying accredited institution in an acceptable field of study. Use the form below to submit your initial request for an evaluation; however, please note that the following documents are also required:
  • Original-source verification (e.g., transcripts, official statement of course/module grades/marks) in the original language.
  • English translations of the original-source verification.
  • Request your school submit an official copy of your diploma (official documentation attesting completion of program and award of degree) in the original language. If you are not able to obtain a copy of your diploma: you may submit a Diploma Supplement/Transcript which shows your academic achievement on your program of study.
  • English translations of the official diploma. If your diploma is not already in English: have your diploma translated and submit the translation directly to the BACB.

Please do not submit your original diploma or other irreplaceable documentation. Documents submitted to the BACB become the property of the BACB and will not be returned to the applicant.

These documents should be mailed to:

BACB Degrees

Littleton, CO 80127

Your school may also email your official transcripts & diplomas to [email protected].  Third-party verification sources may also be utilized (e.g., equivalency organizations).
