Central Oregon Community College asks that transcripts from outside the US be translated first if they are not in English, and then evaluated course by course, with course descriptions, by a NACES member before it grants credit.
Central Oregon Community College accepts certified translations from professional services such as eVerbary. The evaluation comes from the NACES agency, and that evaluation is something we do not provide.
COCC at a glance
Does it accept eVerbary? Yes
COCC says transcripts in a language other than English must first be translated (non-traditional credit), and its rule does not restrict who makes the translation; a certified translation from a professional service such as eVerbary is that kind of translation. Policy checked on November 13, 2026.

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.

COCC requirements in detail
Translation
Transcripts not in English must first be translated (Non-traditional credit); the catalog repeats it (policies).
Who may translate
Not restricted by COCC; a certified translation from a professional service meets the rule.
Evaluation
All non-US transcripts go to a NACES member for a detailed course-by-course evaluation including course descriptions, sent to Admissions and Records (Non-traditional credit).
Grades
Work must be at a nationally recognized university-level institution and comparable to A-D; a D is not accepted for the AAOT and some programs (Policies, COCC catalog).
Costs
The student pays for the international transcript evaluation (Policies, COCC catalog).
International students
COCC is not authorized to admit students on F, M or J visas (residency policy).
Who this rule is for
COCC does not issue I-20s: its residency policy says it is not authorized to admit students with F, M or J visas and points them to Oregon State University Cascades (residency policy).
So the foreign-transcript rule is for Oregon residents, immigrants and US citizens who studied abroad and want that study counted toward a COCC certificate or degree.
It sits under non-traditional credit, next to credit from non-regionally accredited schools (non-traditional credit).
The catalog adds limits that matter when you plan: English taught outside the US may not meet COCC's English composition requirement, and a foreign degree does not waive general education or writing requirements (policies). Questions go to transcript and degree evaluation at myprogress@cocc.edu.
What NACES agencies ask for the translation
COCC accepts any NACES member. WES wants an exact, word-for-word translation by a professional translator, such as a certified translation agency, and does not translate 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.
Ask the agency to include course descriptions, because COCC wants them in the report.
Need a certified translation for COCC?
$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
- University or college transcripts, every year
- Course descriptions or syllabi
- Degree or diploma certificates
- 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 COCC
The translation goes with your records to the NACES agency; the agency sends the course-by-course evaluation, and you have the transcript sent, to COCC Admissions and Records (Non-traditional credit).
eVerbary delivers a signed PDF; on request we can also email the translation directly to the admissions office.
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 COCC that means we translate your transcripts; the course-by-course evaluation is ordered and paid by you from a NACES member.
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
Does COCC need my foreign transcript translated?
Yes, if it is not in English, before it goes to a NACES evaluator (Non-traditional credit).
Who can translate my transcript for COCC?
COCC does not restrict it; a certified translation from a professional service such as eVerbary meets the rule.
Can I study at COCC on an F-1 visa?
No. COCC is not authorized to admit F, M or J visa students; it points to OSU-Cascades (Residency policy).
Will my foreign degree cover general education?
No. Foreign degrees do not waive general education or writing requirements (Policies, COCC catalog).
Will eVerbary convert my grades to a US GPA?
No. The translation reproduces the grades and the grading scale exactly as they appear. A GPA conversion is credential evaluation, which the institution or an evaluation agency does.
