Allan Hancock College: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Worth knowing about Hancock

Hancock requirements in detail

Translated and evaluated, from the start

Hancock's admission list heads the academic item "Official Transcripts (Evaluated and Translated)": graduation from a secondary school equivalent to a US high school, with official records and transcripts certified and translated into English accompanying the application (Allan Hancock College: international students).

The transcripts page adds that F-1 students must also submit a high school transcript evaluation verifying US diploma equivalency (Allan Hancock College: transcripts and foreign transcripts).

In practice you translate your high school diploma and transcripts first, then send the originals and translations to an evaluation agency, and send Hancock both the translated records and the evaluation.

Evaluation agencies set their own translation rules.

Of the agencies on Hancock's sample list, WES and IERF accept a translation from a professional service, while ACEI asks for a translator certified by ATA; check the agency's rule before you order the translation (see translation for credential evaluation).

Where Hancock's pages differ

The international page asks for records certified and translated into English to accompany your application (international page).

The paper International Student Application words it differently: a certified transcript, translated into English, must be sent from each institution attended, and applications are not processed until all transcripts arrive.

The board's procedure AP 5012 says only that transcripts should be in English. If you cannot get your school to send a translated transcript, ask International Students which version applies before you send your file.

Credit for college courses taken abroad

Hancock accepts foreign coursework evaluated by a NACES or AICE member, and the report must be Detailed or Comprehensive, translated if needed, and show institution details, course levels, GPA and credit and grade equivalencies.

Only lower-division credit is awarded, and only if the foreign institution is listed in the ACE guide.

Hancock asks you to contact Admissions before paying for an evaluation to confirm that your coursework will be accepted (Allan Hancock College: transcripts and foreign transcripts).
