NAU accepts transcript evaluations from members of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) as part of the evaluation process. However, the result of a transcript evaluation does not guarantee that transfer credits will be awarded.  All transcripts from post-secondary institutions in Nigeria must be evaluated from members of the National Association of Credential Evaluation (NACES) services as part of the evaluation process.
