California State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH): Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Worth knowing about CSUDH

CSUDH requirements in detail

Translation with the original, from the first upload

CSUDH reviews applications from photocopies uploaded to its International Applicant Dropbox, and the rule is the same at every level: if the records are not officially issued in English, certified English translations must also be submitted with the original translated document (required documentation).

For freshmen that includes upper secondary schools, pre-university programs and external examination results; for graduate applicants, every college and university attended. Each packet carries the CSUDH coversheet.

Transfers who want courses counted toward a degree also send official course descriptions or syllabi in English (application checklist); if yours exist only in another language, those pages need a translation too, and ESL transcripts are part of the record set.

When your school cannot send sealed records

After admission CSUDH needs the original official records before the provisional document deadline, or registration for the second semester is blocked.

If the school cannot issue sealed records, CSUDH accepts a NACES evaluation report that includes copies of the records as the original.

Reports from ECE, ERES, IEE, IERF, The Evaluation Company or WES can arrive electronically; any other NACES member must mail the report and copies (International applicants: required documentation).

The agency will want the translation too: see translation for credential evaluation. Sealed records and diploma verification can also be handled in person at Welch Hall 245, by appointment.

Where CSUDH's pages differ

The application checklist says transcripts from institutions outside the US should be submitted only as paper documents in a sealed, stamped envelope, and that electronic transcripts from them are not official.

The required documentation page also accepts records sent directly by courier from the school or from third-party vendors such as Parchment, MyCreds or Truecopy.

We have not resolved this; ask int-admissions@csudh.edu which delivery your school's records need.

Documents applicants usually translate

• Upper secondary transcripts and leaving certificate
• External exam results (board exams, GCSE, IB)
• College or university transcripts and degree certificates
• Course descriptions or syllabi for transfer credit
• Bank statements for the financial certification

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 CSUDH

• Upload the certified translation together with the copy of the original record to the International Applicant Dropbox, with the coversheet (International applicants: required documentation).

• The official sealed records come from your school or a vendor after admission; we can email the translation directly to the admissions office on request.

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.
