Anoka-Ramsey Community College: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Worth knowing about Anoka-Ramsey

Anoka-Ramsey requirements in detail

Official records, a certified service, and the C-in-five-subjects test

Anoka-Ramsey states its rule plainly: F-1 applicants send official academic records and exam results from their secondary school, documents in another language come with English translations from a certified English translation service, and copies of originals are not accepted (international admission).

The documents go by mail to International Admission at the Coon Rapids campus; the page also asks you to retain a second set of financial documents for the immigration authorities.

The college reads the record itself.

It must show grades equivalent to a C or better in at least five academic subjects within a college preparatory track, and vocational preparatory courses, English and theological courses do not count toward the five (International student: how to apply).

Translate every year of the secondary transcript with the grading scale, not only the final certificate, so the subjects and grades can be counted.

Credit from abroad: ECE or WES

To transfer credit from a university outside the US, order a "Course by Course" evaluation from Educational Credential Evaluators or World Education Services, the two services Anoka-Ramsey lists; the report must be sent directly to the college (transfer credit).

WES wants a professional translator and does not accept the applicant's own; ECE accepts any complete, word-for-word translation or sells an $85 waiver.

Documents applicants usually translate

• Secondary school transcripts and the grading scale
• Secondary exam results or leaving certificate
• University transcripts, for a course-by-course evaluation
• Bank statement, which must be in English

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 Anoka-Ramsey

• Mail the official records with their certified translations to International Admission, 11200 Mississippi Blvd NW, Coon Rapids, MN 55433-3499, together with the online application's other required documents (International student: how to apply).

• For credit, send the translated university transcripts to ECE or WES; the agency sends the course-by-course report to Anoka-Ramsey (Transfer credit).

How to order

1. Scan or photograph every page of the document, front and back, including any stamps on the reverse.
2. Upload it, choose the language and "certified", and see the price before paying.
3. 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.
