Germanna Community College: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Worth knowing about Germanna

Germanna requirements in detail

A translation and an evaluation of the same diploma

Germanna's checklist asks for one academic document: proof that you completed the equivalent of an American high school diploma.

If it is not in English, Germanna wants an official English translation and, in the same line, an equivalency review and course-by-course evaluation (international students).

Order the translation first: most evaluation agencies need an English translation before they can review a diploma, and Germanna gets the same translation with your application. See high school diploma translation.

Germanna does not name an evaluation agency. Each agency sets its own translation rule, so check it before ordering; see translation for credential evaluation.

Start with an international advisor

Germanna lists a meeting with an international advisor (internationaladmissions@germanna.edu) for initial counseling among the application steps, alongside the I-20 application and the sponsor's Affidavit of Support (English learners and international students).

Applications open in windows, February 1 to June 1 for fall and August 1 to October 1 for spring, so the translation and the evaluation should be done before the window closes.

Documents applicants usually translate

• High school diploma or completion certificate
• Secondary school transcripts, for the course-by-course evaluation
• Transcripts from a current US school, for F-1 transfers

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 Germanna

• Send the original document, the official English translation and the evaluation with your application to International Student Services (internationaladmissions@germanna.edu) (English learners and international students).

• We can email the translation directly to the admissions office on request.

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.
