International Application

Step 2

Submit authenticated and translated copies of all academic records. National Park College requires international transcripts to be translated in English and verified that the student has completed the equivalent of a US High School Diploma. NPC uses InCred (International Credential Evaluations) for this process. The student is responsible for accessing this service and all fees related to transcript authentication services. If the student is working on the final year of high school, we can accept a “High School in progress” report from InCred for the issuance of an I-20. However, before the student can come to the US, a finalized report from InCred must be submitted to NPC showing high school diploma completion, and giving NPC a translated copy of the student’s final transcript.
