- See the price before you pay
How we know · policy checked on October 27, 2026
Gardner-Webb University publishes no translation rule of its own: international applicants submit all transcripts of foreign college credits to World Education Services for evaluation before mailing them to Gardner-Webb, and send high school transcripts if they completed fewer than 16 college credit hours.
Gardner-Webb's evaluation agency, WES, accepts certified translations from professional services such as eVerbary.
You order the translation first and send it to WES with your transcripts; the evaluation itself is something we do not provide.

Gardner-Webb requirements in detail
Translation
Gardner-Webb states no translation rule; foreign college transcripts go to WES for evaluation before they are mailed to the university (International students: how to apply).
Who may translate
Set by WES: a professional translator or translation service, not the applicant (WES).
Evaluation
World Education Services, for all transcripts of foreign college credits (International students: how to apply).
High school
High school transcripts and SAT or ACT scores are required if you completed fewer than 16 college credit hours (International students: how to apply).
Where to send
Gardner-Webb University, P.O. Box 817, Boiling Springs, NC 28017, or fax (704) 406-4488 (International students: how to apply).
Fee and I-20
A $150 international processing fee; the I-20 is sent after formal acceptance and the fee (International students: how to apply).
What WES asks for the translation
Gardner-Webb names a single agency, World Education Services, and wants the evaluation done before your college transcripts are mailed (international admissions).
WES asks for an exact, word-for-word translation made by a professional translator or service, such as a certified translation agency; it does not accept translations by the applicant and does not translate documents itself.
So the order is: translation, then the WES file, then the mailing to Gardner-Webb.
When the high school record matters
If you completed fewer than 16 college credit hours, Gardner-Webb also needs your high school transcripts and SAT or ACT scores (International students: how to apply).
The page names no evaluation for those, so a certified translation of the high school diploma and transcripts goes with the documents you mail.
You will hear about admission within three weeks of a complete file, and international students are eligible for merit scholarships but not federal or state aid.
Need a certified translation for Gardner-Webb?
$24.95 per page of up to 250 words, certification included, usually within 24 hours for one to three pages. See the price before you pay.
Documents applicants usually translate
- College or university transcripts, for the WES evaluation
- High school transcripts and diploma, if under 16 college credit hours
- Bank statements and sponsor letters, if not in English
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 Gardner-Webb
The translation of your college transcripts goes to WES with the documents; Gardner-Webb wants the WES evaluation before you mail your file (International students: how to apply).
Academic documents, the application and the $150 fee go to Gardner-Webb University, P.O. Box 817, Boiling Springs, NC 28017, or by fax to (704) 406-4488 (International students: how to apply). On request we can 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 Gardner-Webb that means we translate your records; the WES evaluation is ordered by you from WES after the translation.
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.

A World Education Services evaluation of all foreign college credits, done before you mail your transcripts (International students: how to apply).
Does WES accept an eVerbary translation?
WES accepts a word-for-word translation by a professional translator or translation service (WES); a certified translation from eVerbary is that kind of translation.
Do I need my high school transcript?
Only if you completed fewer than 16 college credit hours (International students: how to apply).
