Georgia Southern at a glance
Does it accept eVerbary? Yes
Georgia Southern's international admission requirements say that transcripts not in English must come with a certified English translation of all documents, and do not restrict who translates (international admission requirements); a certified translation from a professional service such as eVerbary is that kind of translation.

Georgia Southern requirements in detail
Translation
A certified English translation of all documents not in English, first-year and transfer (Admission requirements for international students).
Who may translate
Not stated (Admission requirements for international students).
Official records
With a seal or original signature, mailed or emailed by a school official; photocopies marked "Certified True Copy" and signed by a school official are accepted (Admission requirements for international students).
Evaluation (undergraduate)
Not required for first-year; for some college coursework a counselor may ask for one (Admission requirements for international students).
Foreign credit
Course descriptions from syllabi or official catalogs, evaluated by Georgia Southern officials (Admission requirements for international students).
Graduate
A NACES course-by-course evaluation with GPA and US equivalency for every institution abroad; unofficial copies accepted for the decision (Admission requirements for international students).
Undergraduate: translated records, read by Georgia Southern
For first-year applicants, Georgia Southern reads the secondary school record itself.
Your school sends an official transcript with a seal or original signature, or a school official emails it to intladmissions@georgiasouthern.edu, and if it is not in English you add a certified English translation of all documents (Admission requirements for international students). Translate the full high school diploma and every year of grades.
Transfer applicants send transcripts from all colleges attended, foreign and US, with the same translation rule; with fewer than 30 transferable hours, secondary transcripts too.
Foreign credit is awarded only after Georgia Southern evaluates course descriptions, taken from syllabi or official catalogs, so translate those as well (Admission requirements for international students).
Graduate: a NACES evaluation that cannot be waived
The graduate rule is stricter.
Everyone who attended an institution abroad needs an evaluation from a NACES-accredited service with a US equivalency, course by course with a GPA, showing a degree equivalent to a US bachelor's; Georgia Southern says this cannot be waived (Admission requirements for international students).
You can upload an unofficial copy to your application for a decision, and no separate official transcripts are needed from your school.
The translation for the graduate file goes to the agency. WES, a NACES member, wants a professional, word-for-word translation and rejects translations by applicants.
Need a certified translation for Georgia Southern?
$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
- Secondary school transcripts and diploma
- College or university transcripts, from every institution
- Course descriptions or syllabi, for foreign credit
- Degree certificates, for graduate applicants
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 Georgia Southern
Undergraduates send the certified translation with the official transcripts to international admissions, by mail or with the school official's email to intladmissions@georgiasouthern.edu (Admission requirements for international students).
Graduate applicants upload an unofficial evaluation to the application, or have the agency send the official one to gradadmissions@georgiasouthern.edu (Admission requirements for international students). 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 Georgia Southern that means we translate your records and course descriptions; the NACES evaluation graduate applicants need, or one an admissions counselor asks for, comes from an evaluation 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.
