Is it normal for a uni-assist application to remain 'In Evaluation' for more than five weeks after the deadline?

Yes, seeing your uni-assist status stuck on In Evaluation for over five weeks past the deadline is common and usually nothing to worry about. High application volumes around major deadlines routinely push processing beyond the standard window. What actually matters is which procedure your university uses to handle your file.

Why Your Procedure Type Matters

• Direct forwarding: your submission date counts, so a cleared payment before the deadline keeps you valid even if evaluation finishes late.
• VPD procedure: you must personally upload the certificate to the university, so a five week delay can genuinely threaten your slot.

My Advice

Check the current regional processing page to see if your wait matches the general backlog, then re-read your target university's admissions page to confirm whether they need a VPD in hand or simply forward automatically, and contact uni-assist directly once you pass seven weeks.
