• If an initial TCE has already been prepared and the student completed the DT-102 - BSAC through the U.S. Department of State after the official evaluation was completed, they can send in the updated paperwork.  A TCE Update Request Form must also be submitted to initiate the review process.
• If a student changes their degree program, they are eligible for a review of their DT-102 - BSAC certificate for possible transfer credit.
• If a student has already had an initial TCE completed, their documentation has already been reviewed, and no additional paperwork is to be submitted, they are NOT eligible for this internal recommendation.
