How we know · policy checked on October 26, 2026
Cerritos College reviews F-1 applications with unofficial transcripts or diploma copies and says translating them is not necessary for the initial admissions review.
To transfer credits from a previous institution, an official certified English translation and the official transcripts must go to Admissions & Records, and international transcripts must first be evaluated by a service on the NACES list.
Cerritos College accepts certified translations from professional services such as eVerbary; the evaluation is something we do not provide.
Cerritos at a glance
Does it accept eVerbary? Yes

Cerritos requirements in detail
Translation for admission
Not necessary for the initial review; unofficial transcripts or diploma copies from the last school attended are sufficient unless requested otherwise (International application supporting documents).
Translation for credit
An official certified English translation and the official transcripts, submitted to Admissions & Records (International application supporting documents).
Who may translate
Not stated.
Evaluation
International transcripts must first be evaluated by a foreign credentials evaluation service; Cerritos points to the NACES members list (Admissions & Records: international transcripts).
Official delivery
The official, sealed evaluation goes to Admissions & Records; allow 3 to 4 months for transfer credits to appear (Admissions & Records: international transcripts, FAQ).
Where to upload (F-1)
CCCApply International, the $50 fee, then the Supporting Documents Upload form (International application supporting documents).
Two moments: admission, then credit
Cerritos separates the two steps clearly.
For the F-1 application, its supporting documents page asks for records from the last school attended, accepts unofficial transcripts or diploma copies, and says translating them into English is not necessary during the initial admissions review.
The office may still ask for more, so keep a translation ready if your records are long or the grading scale is unusual. If your last school was a high school, see high school diploma translation.
The translation becomes necessary when you want credit for a previous institution: the same page asks for an official certified English translation and the official transcripts, submitted to Admissions & Records.
The international transcripts page and the international FAQ add that the transcripts must first be translated and evaluated by a foreign credentials evaluation service listed by NACES, and that the official, sealed evaluation is what Admissions & Records receives.
Where Cerritos's pages differ
The supporting documents page speaks of a certified English translation plus official transcripts for credit, while the Admissions & Records page and the FAQ describe an evaluation by a credentials service as the way to submit international transcripts.
In practice, the evaluation agency receives your translation with your records; ask Admissions & Records whether it also wants the translation itself.
Cerritos warns that accepting your international credit does not bind other colleges, and that if you transfer you must send each new school its own copy of the evaluation (Admissions & Records: international 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.

Uploading the translation to Cerritos
F-1 applicants upload their documents through the Supporting Documents Upload form after applying on CCCApply International (International application supporting documents).
For credit, the translation goes to the NACES agency with your records, and the official sealed evaluation goes to Cerritos Admissions & Records (Admissions & Records: international 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 Cerritos that means we translate your transcripts and diplomas; the NACES evaluation for credit is ordered by you from the agency.
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.
