Apostilles
Authentication of American Academic Credentials
Loyola University Chicago graduates, and frequently current students, who plan to work or further their education abroad may need to authenticate their degrees, transcripts, and/or their diploma. This process is often referred to as an Apostille. This is the legalization of a document for international use under the terms of the Hague Convention. It is imperative that the graduate verifies the specific documents and authentication required by the receiving country. Please note that many countries who were not a part of the Hague Convention are also requiring official certification of a student's education. Please note that while Loyola University Chicago does not charge for the production of transcripts, there may be certain fees associated with this process.
