A 5-point scale, not a US GPA
Most Saudi universities grade on a five-point scale. In King Saud University's regulations, 95 to 100 is A+ worth 5.00, 90 to 94 is A at 4.75, then B+ 4.50, B 4.00, C+ 3.50, C 3.00, D+ 2.50 and D 2.00 for 60 to 64, while a fail below 60 still carries 1.00. The same regulations give a 4-point equivalent (A+ 4.00, F 0), and SACM notes that King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals uses the 4.0 scale. We translate the scale your university printed and do not convert it.
Arabic transcripts use the letters أ, ب, ج, د and هـ for A, B, C, D and F. On the King Saud University scale a 4.75 is an A, not an A-minus, because the scale has no minus grades. We render them as the Latin letters with the plus signs as printed. A 4.50 out of 5 is not a 4.50 in the US sense; an evaluator decides the equivalence. See credential evaluation translations.
Overall grade, honours and bilingual records
The academic record shows the semester average, the cumulative average and an overall grade: Excellent from 4.50 out of 5 (3.50 out of 4), then Very good, Good and Acceptable. Grade boundaries can differ between universities, so we never apply another institution's table to yours. First-class honours require a cumulative 4.75 to 5.00, second-class 4.25 to 4.75, with no failed course. We keep these terms so an evaluator can see where you stood.
Many universities can issue English transcripts, and SACM notes that science and technology programmes are taught in English. An evaluator may still want the Arabic original, and some evaluation services ask for both versions issued by the institution. If yours is in Arabic only, or carries Arabic stamps, we translate it in full. See the Saudi university diploma page and our Arabic page.
What USCIS requires
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be accompanied by a complete English translation and the translator's certification that it is accurate. Every seal, stamp and marginal note is part of the document, so every one is translated.
State agencies set their own rules — see government agencies — and what our certification states is on this page.
How it works
Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.
A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.
Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.
Certified vs. standard translation
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.
A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
Frequently asked questions
My GPA is 4.2. Is that good?
On a 5-point scale it is Very good. We translate it as printed; an evaluator converts it.
Why does my F show 1.00 points?
On the Saudi 5-point scale a fail carries 1.00. We translate it exactly as printed.
My university is KFUPM.
It uses a 4.0 scale. We keep the figures and scale as printed.
Is acceptance by universities, colleges and schools guaranteed?
Yes. Our certified translations are guaranteed to be accepted by universities, colleges and schools in the United States — and by USCIS, the NVC, courts, government agencies and employers — or your money back. The guarantee covers the translation itself, not the original document or the admission decision, and it covers credential evaluation agencies such as WES and ECE as well. Full terms are in our refund policy.
