Goldey-Beacom College: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Worth knowing about Goldey-Beacom

Goldey-Beacom requirements in detail

One translation rule for every visa status

Goldey-Beacom lists two sets of requirements, one for F-1 students (including a change of status to F-1) and one for applicants who attend in another status such as H4, L2 or TN.

The translation rule is the same in both: undergraduates send secondary transcripts or the diploma with final exam or course grades translated into English, and graduate applicants send every post-secondary transcript, mark sheet and degree certificate, translated when not in English (international admissions).

Translate the grade pages and the final exam results, not only the diploma.

Only F-1 applicants add financial evidence: bank statements that clearly show the account holder and two months of paystubs, and, when someone else pays, a notarized Affidavit of Support with that person's bank statement (International admissions).

A bank statement in another language should be translated with your records.

Credit from a school abroad: WES or SpanTran

Admission works from the translated records, but credits from an international institution count toward a Goldey-Beacom degree only after a third-party credential verification group, such as World Education Services or SpanTran, evaluates the transcripts (International admissions).

The agencies set their own translation rules: WES accepts a word-for-word translation from a professional translator, while SpanTran, now The Evaluation Company, takes outside translations only from ATA-certified translators. eVerbary can assign an ATA-certified translator on request through a free quote.

The college has no application deadlines and starts sessions through the year; graduate business programs offer Day 1 CPT to eligible students (International admissions). If you plan to transfer credit, order the evaluation early, since it takes longer than the translation.

Documents applicants usually translate

• Secondary school transcripts and diploma, with final exam or course grades
• University transcripts, mark sheets and degree certificate
• Bank statements and paystubs, if not in English
• Grading scale printed with the transcripts

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 Goldey-Beacom

• Upload the original records and their English translations with the online application; F-1 financial documents go with the same application (International admissions). For transfer credit, the translation also goes to WES or SpanTran with your transcripts.

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

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.
