申请美国院校过程中，一些学校对国际学生的成绩单有认证要求，从而实现成绩单同一标准化，便于学校更好审核相关资料。
成绩单认证的要求在本科申请和研究生申请中都会出现。在本科转学申请中，被要求的更多。不同学校对认证的项目，认证的机构有不同要求。比较普遍能被大部分学校认可的有ECE, WES等认证。也有一些学校有自己专门的合作认证机构，例如匹兹堡大学。WES, ECE的认证首先需要申请人将相关申请材料提交国内指定部门，经国内机构审核后，直接寄送到美国的认证机构。整个认证过程一般需要一个月的时间，可根据自身情况选择是否加急。
温馨提示：因认证时间较长，为了保证后期申请的顺利完成，在定校后，要核实好学校相关信息，及早准备。
 
案例：匹兹堡大学相关要求
University of Pittsburgh applicants are required to submit an official credential evaluation of all international documents (transcripts, marksheets, certificates, examination results, etc.) from one of the two evaluators, below.

1. Josef Silny and Associates. The Office of Admissions and Financial Aid prefers that you use the evaluation services of Josef Silny and Associates (JS&A). If you use JS&A, you can send your records directly to JS&A. Once JS&A has evaluated them, it will send your scanned official records, translations of your records, and evaluation directly to the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid, electronically. Please submit records as specified on the JS&A printable credential evaluation application that is specifically designed for University of Pittsburgh applicants.
2. Freshman applicants.Important notes: In the United States, a secondary school transcript covers 4 years, from grades 9-12. If secondary school in your country covers only 3 years, please be sure to also submit the 3rd year of your middle school record. Rising seniors (presently enrolled in grade 12) should send a transcript for the three years you have completed, including the 3rd year of middle school if applicable.
3. Transfer applicants.Transfer applicants who will have fewer than two years of full-time university work completed by the term they plan to enroll should send a secondary transcript to JS&A (if secondary school in your country is 3 years in length, that is acceptable) for evaluation, as well as their transcripts of all post-secondary work.
4. Transfer applicants who will have completed two years of full-time university work by the term they plan to enroll at Pitt do not need to send their secondary record to JS&A for evaluation. Do however, send your secondary transcript in the original language and a certified, literal translation of it to Pitt; and send your post-secondary records to JS&A for evaluation.
5. Education Credential Evaluators (ECE). The University of Pittsburgh Office of Admissions & Financial Aid will also accept evaluations from ECE.
