When a reassessment of an individual’s educational qualifications is requested based on additional information not divulged initially, or any other reason which would require another closer look at the credentials in question, a new fee will be charged based on the information submitted. Detailed justification must be submitted to warrant acceptance of the review and all original credentials must be resubmitted. There’s no guarantee for a change in the evaluation results. Normally, we will recommend that a new agency is consulted, since all evaluation reports are completed in a thorough and comprehensive manner using up to date and reliable resources available in the profession.
-
In the event CIE determines any form of tampering or alteration of credentials
submitted, no evaluation will be rendered and the fee will not be refunded. CIE
will notify the institution and/or agency for which the evaluation is intended.
