How we know · policy checked on October 27, 2026
Barstow Community College publishes no translation rule of its own: F-1 applicants from abroad email six documents, among them their high school and college transcripts evaluated by an accredited member of NACES.
Barstow's evaluation agencies, such as WES, ECE and IERF, accept certified translations from professional services such as eVerbary.
You translate first and send the translation to the agency; the evaluation itself is something we do not provide.

Barstow requirements in detail
Translation
No rule of its own; the translation is what the NACES agency needs before it can evaluate a record not in English.
Who may translate
Set by the evaluation agency. WES, ECE and IERF accept a professional translation.
Evaluation
High school and college transcripts, evaluated by an accredited NACES member, for admission (International students).
Where it goes
All documents as email attachments to admissions@barstow.edu (International students).
Application windows
Fall: February 1 to June 1 from your home country, to July 15 if transferring from a US school. Spring: September 1 to October 15, or to November 15 for transfers (International students).
English
TOEFL 46 iBT or IELTS 4.5, sent by the testing agency; native English speakers are exempt (International students).
Other documents
Supplemental application, proof of funds for one year, passport ID page (International students).
An evaluation before admission, not after
At many California community colleges the evaluation only matters for credit, after you enroll.
Barstow puts it in the admission file itself: the list of six documents for applicants from outside the US includes "High School/College Transcripts (evaluated by an accredited member of NACES)", next to the supplemental application, English scores, a financial statement for one full year and the passport page. The I-20 is issued once all six are in (International students).
So the order is: translate your secondary school and any college records, send them with the originals to a NACES agency, and email the agency's report to Barstow before your window closes.
A general, document-by-document report is usually enough to show the equivalent of a US high school diploma; ask for course by course if you also want college credit. For the school record, see high school diploma translation.
What each evaluation agency asks for the translation
WES wants an exact, word-for-word translation by a professional translator, such as a certified translation agency, does not accept translations by applicants and does not translate itself.
ECE accepts complete, word-for-word translations in the same format as the original, including your own, or sells an $85 waiver under which it translates internally for the report.
IERF asks for typed, line-by-line, word-for-word translations and may require a professional one. Other NACES members set their own rules; check before you order.
Need a certified translation for Barstow?
$24.95 per page of up to 250 words, certification included, usually within 24 hours for one to three pages. See the price before you pay.
Documents applicants usually translate
- High school transcripts and diploma, for the evaluation
- College or university transcripts, for the evaluation
- Bank statement for the financial statement
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 Barstow
The translation goes to the NACES agency with your records. Email the agency's evaluation, with your other documents, to admissions@barstow.edu within the application window (International students).
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.
For Barstow that means we translate your records for the agency; the NACES evaluation is ordered by you after the translation.
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.
