Requirements checked on November 13, 2026 from CAC's public pages (sources).
Central Arizona College asks F-1 applicants for all final high school and college transcripts and, for documents not in English, a translation into English, pointing to ECE, IERF and WES for foreign credential evaluation.
CAC's evaluation agencies, such as WES and ECE, accept certified translations from professional services such as eVerbary.
Get the translation first, then the evaluation if the agency is involved; the evaluation itself is something we do not provide.

Sample translation: a Congolese secondary school transcript
This is what an order looks like when it is delivered, with a fictitious student. The PDF starts with the signed certification page, and the translation follows the original line for line: every abbreviation is explained, stamps, seals and signatures are noted in brackets, and the grid stays the same, so an admissions officer or a credential evaluator can match it without guessing.
What to notice
- Two school years in the same grid as the original: every subject, grading period, exam and total, so each grade can be read against its maximum.
- The French rating abbreviations are translated (TB becomes VG, Very good), and every abbreviation is explained in a translator's note at the foot of the same page, including one the original never defines.
- Dates are written the US way (the original's 02/07/2015 is February 7, 2015).
- The photo, seals and signatures are noted in brackets where they appear.

CAC requirements in detail
Translation
"Translation of documents into English, if required" (application requirements, catalog).
Who may translate
CAC does not name a translator; it points to ECE, IERF and WES, which accept translations from professional services.
Evaluation
For foreign credential evaluation, contact ECE, IERF or WES (International student).
Where it goes
All documents in one complete submission attached to the International I-20 Application, after the onboarding module (International student).
Official transcripts
Received from the issuing school or in a sealed envelope; electronic to transcripts@centralaz.edu or by mail to the Transcript Evaluation Office in Coolidge (transcripts).
Deadlines
Fall July 1, spring December 1 (International student).
English
Duolingo 90, IELTS 5.5 with 5.0 in each band, or TOEFL iBT 61 (International student).
One packet, attached to the I-20 application
CAC's F-1 process starts with an online onboarding module, which gives you the CAC ID that the International I-20 Application needs.
Then everything goes in one complete submission attached to that application: English test, all final transcripts, the bank letter and, for documents not in English, the translation; CAC asks you not to send documents in separate emails (international students).
Next to the translation line, CAC names three agencies for foreign credential evaluation: Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE), International Educational Research Foundation (IERF) and World Education Services (WES) (International student, requirements).
Ask CAC International Admissions whether your records need the evaluation as well as the 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, and does not translate documents itself.
ECE asks for complete, word-for-word translations in the same format as the original, lets applicants prepare them, and sells an $85 Translation Waiver under which it translates internally for the report without giving you a translation.
IERF wants line-by-line, word-for-word typed translations and may ask for professional ones.
Where CAC's pages differ
The international student page asks for at least $18,000 a year in funds, while the 2026-27 catalog says $10,000 (international students, catalog).
English minimums also differ: TOEFL iBT 61 on the international page, TOEFL 450 paper or 133 computer on the application requirements page (requirements). Check with International Admissions before you send funds documents.
Need a certified translation for CAC?
$24.95 per page with no word cap, 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
- College or university transcripts
- Bank letter or statement, if not in English
- Grading scale printed with the transcripts
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 with no word cap, 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 CAC
The translation goes in the single submission attached to the International I-20 Application; if an agency evaluates your records, it also goes to ECE, IERF or WES with them (International student).
Official transcripts reach the Transcript Evaluation Office from the issuing school or in a sealed envelope (Transcripts).
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 CAC that means we translate your records; any evaluation is ordered by you from ECE, IERF or WES.
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.
Frequently asked questions

Yes, if they are not in English (Application requirements).
Which evaluation agencies does CAC name?

No. CAC wants one complete submission attached to the I-20 application (International student).
What are the deadlines?
