Regardless of the institutions you may encounter—private agencies, mediators, third-party providers—any academic conversion or evaluation must ultimately be validated by the receiving institution, whether that is a university, an organization, or an employer.
This principle applies internationally and across all systems.

EduAtlas is not different in this regard.
It allows users to run academic conversions, but final recognition and validation always remain with the receiving institution.

EduAtlas can be used to:

• Prepare academic documentation in advance
  (e.g. a student from Ethiopia prepares their transcript on EduAtlas and converts it for a Brazilian university before applying)

• Support institutional review and validation
  (e.g. a Brazilian university receives the EduAtlas export and decides autonomously what to recognize, integrate, or amend according to its regulations)

What is different—and unique—about EduAtlas is how this process is accessed and controlled.

EduAtlas is free, open, and always available: There are no fees, no intermediaries, and no dependence on external agencies.

EduAtlas is fully controlled by the user: Students prepare their own conversions, download their documents directly, and decide when and how to share them.

In this way, EduAtlas does not change who decides.
It re-distributes agency and co-responsibility.
