An Official Evaluation (e.g. through InCred) of your transcripts, covering the fees, and sending them to relevant institutions are included in the ALL AMERICAN package.
If you plan to study at a NAIA university in the USA while simultaneously participating in college sports, you need a transcript evaluation through InCred. This evaluation converts your school grades to the American grading system and is automatically forwarded to the NAIA and your future university. In this guide, you will learn step-by-step how to successfully submit your application and your evaluation.
Make sure you have the following digital documents (in PDF format) ready:
German transcripts from 9th grade as copies.
English translations of the transcripts (if available).
If you are already studying at a university:
German and English Transcripts of Records (academic records) for all completed semesters so far.
Additionally, you will need a credit card for payment.
To start your evaluation through InCred, you need your own InCred account. Follow these steps:
Open the InCred website and click on "Let's Get Started" under "International Students".
Click on "Register" to create a new account.
Enter your email address, desired username, and password (confirm the password).
Confirm your account in your email inbox by clicking on the sent link.
After creating your account, complete your profile:
Fill out all fields with a red asterisk.
These are mandatory fields required for the evaluation process.
Indicate if you want to participate in college sports in the USA:
Select "YES" if you want to participate in college sports in the USA.
Link your NAIA ID:
If you already have a NAIA account, enter your NAIA EC ID in the corresponding field. You can find the ECID at the top of your NAIA account under "ECID#".
Tip
If you don't have a NAIA account yet, leave this field empty and link the two accounts later through your NAIA account.
Evaluation Type:
Select "Basic" if you have not completed your schooling yet.
Select "Course-by-Course" if you already have a school diploma.
Important:
Always clarify with your future university which evaluation type they require. In most cases, a "Course-by-Course" report is preferred, as it includes detailed grade information and a GPA (Grade Point Average).
Certified Copy Add-on:
Select "No, thank you" as this option is only required if a certified copy is needed for a specific institution.
Expedited Service (Express Option):
Depending on the urgency, you can choose between the standard service or one of the faster delivery options.
Click on "Create" to enter your Education History.
Add school or university:
Under "School Type", select either Secondary School / High School (if you are in school) or University (if you are already studying).
Set the time period:
Enter the Start Date when you started the school or university.
For End Date, enter the graduation date or the expected date when you will finish school.
Currently enrolled?:
Select "Yes" if you are still enrolled.
Select "No" if you have already completed your studies.
Specify the type of degree:
Indicate the degree you are currently pursuing or have already earned, e.g. "Fachhochschulreife", "Abitur", "Matura" or "Allgemeine Hochschulreife".
Received diploma?:
Select "Yes" if you already have the degree, or "No" if you will receive it later.
Save the data: Click on "SUBMIT".
Now upload your school and university transcripts to the InCred system:
Click on the arrow to the right and select "Attach Transcripts".
Scroll down and click on "Add Transcripts".
Select transcripts: Upload your transcripts from 9th grade in German and, if available, also in English.
Name the transcript: Write a short description under "Note" to identify the transcript (e.g., "10th Grade German" or "12th Grade English").
Upload additional transcripts: Click on "Add" to upload more documents, then select "Next".
Important Note:
If you don't have a final diploma yet, you must upload it later in German and English to the existing application. It will then be evaluated at no additional cost. In this case, write in the text field of the last transcript: "I need a partial evaluation for my college, you will receive my HS Diploma later this year." This ensures that InCred does not delay the evaluation until all final transcripts are available.
Evaluation Delivery:
Indicate where the evaluation report should be sent. Usually, this should be your future university or your college coach.
Select institution:
Click on "Create" and search for the name of your future university.
Institution Contact:
Under "Institution Contact", provide either your coach's name or the name of a contact person in the Admission Office if you already know someone there.
Tip:
Contact us if you need help with the selection.
Review your application:
Double-check all information in your InCred application.
Payment:
Click on "Pay Now" and then on "Proceed to Checkout". Enter the payment information and complete the InCred application.
Confirmation:
You will receive a confirmation email with your case/reference number.
Note:
Depending on your service package, we cover the payment of the fee. Please check the corresponding information in your profile.
After the evaluation is completed, your evaluation report will be sent directly to the NAIA and the specified university.
If hard copies are required, they will be sent by mail.
Important Note:
Share your InCred login credentials with us so that we can assist you with any issues and check the current status of your evaluation.
