If you previously ordered a credential evaluation service (CES) for the purpose of obtaining a Professional or Academic Report, and if you need another report to be sent to either a new recipient or a previous recipient, you can order a CES re-evaluation at a reduced fee.
You can order a CES re-evaluation by following these simple steps:
- Log into your CGFNS Connect account and choose the option to purchase a CGFNS service.
- At the service selection menu, choose “Credentials Evaluation Service (CES).”
- Select the type of report you require (Professional or Academic) and type in the name of the designated report recipient where prompted to do so.
- If you previously ordered a report of the SAME type, you will be automatically prompted to order a re-evaluation.
Please note that for CES re-evaluation, the credentials assessment is geared towards the requirements of the report recipient that you have designated. Also, any new information that has been submitted since your last evaluation will be included in the re-evaluation process.
1. During the re-evaluation process, will I need to update any of the documents I previously submitted for my initial CES order?
Depending on the documents under consideration, you may need to provide updated documentation. For example, for reports that require verification of your licensure, updated validation may be required for the re-evaluation process if the licensure information on file is more than three years old. In some cases, licensure information that is more than a year old may need to be updated.
2. I had a previous CES order that I placed before January 2011 that resulted in a Healthcare and Science Report or a Full Course-by-Course Report. Can I order a CES Re-evaluation under these circumstances?
No. A CES re-evaluation can be ordered only if your previous CES order included a request for a Professional Report or Academic Report. If you previously ordered a Healthcare and Science Report or a Full Course-by-Course Report, a new order for a CES Professional Report or Academic Report must be ordered. In this instance, the procedures relating to the standard Credentials Evaluation Service, including associated fees, would apply.
3. I previously ordered a CES which resulted in the issuance of an Academic Report. Can I order a CES re-evaluation for the issuance of a Professional Report at this time?
No. If a previous order was for one report type, only this report type can be reissued with a CES re-evaluation. In your case, since your previous order was for a CES resulting in the issuance of an Academic Report, you can order a re-evaluation of the Academic Report only.
