time).

 ADDITIONAL TIPS

Educational Service (WES). The WES International Credential Advantage Package (ICAP) is a
service provided by WES where an applicant's verified transcripts and evaluation report are
stored for them. ICAP makes it easy for applicants to send their WES evaluation and verified
transcripts to institutions at any time. This costs some money but it is a solution to incessant
transcript delays
