ACU requirements in detail
Translation
Documents are submitted in the original language; those not in English need an official, literal English translation (International undergraduate admissions).
Who may translate
Not stated (International undergraduate admissions).
What to send
Official secondary transcripts, the diploma or leaving certificate and examination results, from first-year and transfer students alike (International undergraduate admissions).
Unofficial copies
Accepted to complete the admission file; enrollment depends on the official transcripts (International undergraduate admissions).
Where
Office of Admissions, ACU Box 29000, Abilene, or international@acu.edu (International undergraduate admissions).
Evaluation
None named on the undergraduate international page (International undergraduate admissions).
Literal means line by line
ACU wants every document in the language it was issued in, accompanied by an official, literal English translation (International undergraduate admissions).
A literal translation follows the original line by line, keeps the grades and the grading scale exactly as written and names each examination as it appears; it does not convert anything to US terms.
That applies to the secondary school diploma or leaving certificate and to the national examination results, which ACU asks for from transfer students too.
Start with copies, finish with originals
You can complete your file with unofficial transcripts and translations, so a PDF translation can be emailed to international@acu.edu as soon as it is ready; your enrollment then waits for the official transcripts, mailed to ACU Box 29000 or sent by email (International undergraduate admissions).
Your name on the application should match your passport and, where possible, your transcript, so give us the passport spelling when you order.

What an eVerbary translation includes
- A complete English translation of every page, stamps, seals and handwritten notes included, laid out like the original so each line can be matched.
- Grades exactly as recorded, with the grading scale the document prints. We never convert marks to a US GPA.
- A signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead, with our contact details, delivered as a PDF you can upload.
- $24.95 per page of up to 250 words, certification included; 24 hours for one to three pages as standard. Regular clients who need it can get delivery in as little as 30 minutes, on request.
Uploading the translation to ACU
Email the original-language documents and their translations to international@acu.edu or mail them to the Office of Admissions in Abilene (International undergraduate admissions).
We can send the translation directly to the admissions office by email on request.
What we do not do
eVerbary is a translation service, not a credential evaluation service: we do not issue evaluations, US equivalencies or GPA conversions, and we cannot send documents on behalf of the school that issued them.
How to order
- Scan or photograph every page of the document, front and back, including any stamps on the reverse.
- Upload it, choose the language and "certified", and see the price before paying.
- Receive the PDF, usually within 24 hours for one to three pages, and upload it with the copy of the original wherever the institution asks for it.
