Clayton State University: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Worth knowing about Clayton State

Clayton State requirements in detail

Translations, originals and an evaluation with GPA

Clayton State asks for three things together: the original transcripts, mark sheets and certificates in the native language, certified translations of them, and an evaluation by an accredited service (Undergraduate admissions: international students).

For high school the evaluation is document by document with a GPA; without the GPA you lose test-optional eligibility and need SAT or ACT scores. Translate the full high school diploma, every mark sheet and the grading scale.

The evaluation service sends the evaluation and the authenticated transcripts to the Office of Recruitment and Admissions, Clayton Hall, Suite 208, in Morrow, or electronically (Undergraduate admissions: international students).

What the named agencies ask for the translation

WES accepts an exact, word-for-word translation by a professional translator and rejects translations by applicants. Josef Silny asks for translations made in the US by ATA-certified translators; if you choose it, eVerbary can assign an ATA-certified translator on request (see below).

Documents applicants usually translate

• High school transcripts and mark sheets
• High school diploma or certificate
• College or university transcripts, for the course-by-course evaluation
• Degree certificates

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 Clayton State

• The certified translation goes with your original-language records to the evaluation service, which sends the evaluation and authenticated transcripts to Clayton State (Undergraduate admissions: international students).

• On request we can email the translation directly to the admissions office.

If you need a translator certified by ATA

Some offices accept only a translator who is personally certified by the American Translators Association (ATA). eVerbary assigns one on request, for the languages ATA certifies into English:

To order it, ask for a free quote and write in the notes that the translation is for Clayton State, which program it is for, and that you need a translator individually certified by ATA, plus anything else the office asks for (notarization, delivery by email to the office).

We confirm the price and the translator before you pay. ATA does not certify other languages into English, so no translator anywhere holds ATA certification for them.

For those languages we provide a notarized certified translation instead, at $44.95 per page plus notarization ($34.90 per order); ask the office to confirm it accepts that, and write its answer in the quote notes.

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.
