IQAS for pakistani students - URGENT help needed :(

syedahraza said:
Arsalan, the rule for degrees remain the same for all agencies. All degrees must be in a sealed envelope and signed by HEC. You have two choices with you. Either you ask HEC to send your documents to IQAS directly or you go to their courier service in Abpara and ask them to deliver it to IQAS. Either way is fine and will not cause any problem. I did the same steps. Although I was not in Islamabad, my brother did all these steps for me.

Hey so after doing further research on this, I got to know that for IQAS there is no need to involve HEC. We can just get the copies certified from respective universities.

Hope this will help you. This message is sent by IQAS regarding my query.

Generally IQAS accepts official transcripts/mark sheets that confirm graduation, and which are sent directly by the issuing institution. Official transcripts sent directly by the issuing institution(s) may be a photocopy of the diploma supplement bearing the institution(s)’ respective stamps on them. We do not require the original transcripts issued to a student upon graduation, and no other form of legalization is required.


However, in cases where the issuing institution cannot send transcripts directly to IQAS, they may provide you with a sealed envelope with your attested transcripts enclosed which may be couriered by you to our office. The envelope must remain sealed, and has to be stamped with the institution’s official seal across the back flap. If there are concerns about the integrity of the documents, our office will contact you.
 
Hello Everyone,

I am planning to send my degrees to IQAS. I will get the copies of my transcripts and degrees attested and signed by my university and will also get them sealed and stamped in a University envelop. But since most universities don't take the responsibility of sending the documents so should I take that envelop and send it on my own using the university’s address in the “from” section?

Plus, how much time does IQAS take in document equivalency process? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Hi,
I got this response from IQAS. I hope this will help you.

Yes. IQAS needs to verify that your credentials are authentic so your school must send your transcripts directly to IQAS in a sealed envelope. Use the Request of Academic Records form on our website to ask your school to send your transcripts. In cases where the issuing institution cannot send transcripts directly to IQAS, they may provide you with a sealed envelope with your attested transcripts enclosed which may be couriered by you to our office. The envelope must remain sealed, and has to be stamped with the institution's official seal across the back flap. Use your own address.

Thank you for your response. It is clear now, so I’ll get the docs and send them myself using my own residential address.

Have you already sent your documents to IQAS?

In the checklist there “Transcripts issued by section” are we supposed to mention the university’s name there?

Also are we supposed to check mark the “Transcripts Requested from the issuing body”? And add the sealed envelope received by the university within the main envelope along with form and other docs?

Yes, you are supposed to write the name of your institution.

Academic record request form should be sealed along with verified educational documents.
You are supposed to make another envelop which contains your educational sealed envelop, check list form, application form, your name proof (passport copy) and photocopy of educational documents which are sealed.
 
I have got photocopies of degrees/transcripts VERIFIED and SEALED by HEC. Do I also need to courier my ORIGINALs to IQAS?
