Century College: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Worth knowing about Century

Century requirements in detail

The F-1 file: a translated certificate, certified bank papers

For admission Century asks for proof of secondary completion: the high school or secondary school certificate with its completion date, which must lead to university study, with an English translation if it is not in English (international applicant page).

Cambridge O-Levels or GCSE count with English, Math and three other academic passes. Translate the certificate with every stamp and the completion date.

Bank documents carry the stricter wording: a certified English translation, issued within 90 days, showing the account holder, date, bank name and total balance with account numbers blacked out, and stamped or signed as certified originals or certified true copies if the bank is outside the US (International student applicant). The year at Century is estimated at $23,087.

Health science programs and credit from abroad

Some health science programs, such as Dental Assistant, Medical Assistant and Radiologic Technology, can accept a high school transcript that has been translated and evaluated.

In those cases, graduates from schools outside the US must use a service such as World Education Services or Educational Credential Evaluators, with the report emailed to Admissions@century.edu, and should allow 6 weeks (submitting transcripts).

WES asks for a translation by a professional translator; ECE accepts a word-for-word translation or sells an $85 waiver.

College courses taken abroad need a course-by-course evaluation from a NACES member, such as SpanTran, IEE, WES or ECE, sent directly to Transfer Student Services; depending on your program, it may not be required (Submitting transcripts).

Documents applicants usually translate

• High school or secondary school certificate showing the completion date
• Bank statements and the notarized sponsor form
• Foreign high school transcripts, for a health science program evaluation
• College transcripts, for a course-by-course evaluation

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 Century

• Upload the certificate, the bank documents and their translations in the International Student Application Documents Submission Form, all prepared beforehand: the form deletes your entries after 30 minutes, and emailed, mailed, faxed or hand-delivered documents are not accepted (International student applicant).

• For a health program evaluation, send the translated transcript to WES or ECE; the agency's report goes to Admissions@century.edu (Submitting transcripts).

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.
