Fresno State requirements in detail
Translation
Who may translate
Not stated.
Originals or copies
Original or certified copies of in-progress or final transcripts; transfers include the native-language record for the review (Fresno State: international transfer admission).
Review copies
Scans of the unofficial documents in PDF, emailed to the International Office; official final documents brought or mailed after acceptance (Fresno State: international freshman admission).
Evaluation
Not requested on the international admission pages.

Deadlines (freshman)
Fall: July 1 from outside the US, August 1 in the US; spring: November 1 (Fresno State: international freshman admission).
A literal translation at every level
Fresno State uses the same word on each international admission page.
First-year applicants send high school (or secondary and higher secondary) transcripts, mark sheets or grade reports with a literal English translation, plus a copy of the graduation certificate or diploma (freshman).
Transfer applicants send transcripts that, if not in English, include the literal English translation and the native language, and lower-division transfers (1–59 semester units) add the high school transcript with its translation (transfer).
Graduate applicants send all university marksheets, transcripts and the degree certificate with a literal English translation and no secondary records (graduate).
A literal translation renders every line, grade and stamp as it appears, without adapting the content, which is how we translate. For mark sheets with several exam sessions, translate each sheet, not only the final one.
Scans for the review, originals after acceptance
Fresno State reviews scans: you email the unofficial documents in PDF to the International Office, in one email for transfers (intldocuments@mail.fresnostate.edu), and to the International Admissions Officer for freshman and graduate applicants (intladmissions@csufresno.edu).
If you are accepted, you bring or mail the official final documents to the International Office at 5150 N. Maple Ave. (Fresno State: international freshman admission, Fresno State: international transfer admission).
Send the translation as a PDF with each scan, and keep the original translation for the official set.
Financial documents (a bank statement no older than six months and the Affidavit of Support) may be sent after acceptance (Fresno State: international freshman admission).

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 Fresno State that means we translate your transcripts, mark sheets and certificates; Fresno State's international pages do not ask for a credential evaluation.
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.
