Greenville Technical College: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Worth knowing about Greenville Tech

Greenville Tech requirements in detail

What the agencies ask for the translation

WES wants an exact, word-for-word translation by a professional translator, such as a certified translation agency, and does not accept translations by applicants.

Josef Silny & Associates asks for translations made in the US by ATA-certified translators, or abroad by officially certified professional translators; if you choose it, eVerbary can assign an ATA-certified translator on request (see below).

ECE, also a NACES member, accepts complete, word-for-word translations, including your own.

High school equivalency and overseas credit

The evaluation has to certify that you completed a secondary education program equal to a US high school diploma (International admissions).

Translate the full high school diploma, transcripts and any exam certificates before you open the agency file.

College courses taken overseas count only if the same agencies evaluate them, and Greenville Tech asks you to keep copies of everything you send.

Documents applicants usually translate

• High school diploma or secondary completion certificate
• High school transcripts
• College or university transcripts, for credit
• Bank statements and sponsor documents, 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 Greenville Tech

• The translation goes to WES, Josef Silny or the other NACES agency with your records; the agency sends its evaluation to Greenville Tech (International admissions).

• Other documents go to the International Student Advisor, MS 1025, P.O. Box 5616, Greenville, SC 29606, by May 1 for fall or October 1 for spring (International admissions). On request we can email the translation directly to the admissions office.

If you need a translator certified by ATA

Some offices accept only a translator who is personally certified by the American Translators Association (ATA). eVerbary assigns one on request, for the languages ATA certifies into English:

To order it, ask for a free quote and write in the notes that the translation is for Greenville Tech, which program it is for, and that you need a translator individually certified by ATA, plus anything else the office asks for (notarization, delivery by email to the office).

We confirm the price and the translator before you pay. ATA does not certify other languages into English, so no translator anywhere holds ATA certification for them.

For those languages we provide a notarized certified translation instead, at $44.95 per page plus notarization ($34.90 per order); ask the office to confirm it accepts that, and write its answer in the quote notes.

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.
