HACC asks F-1 applicants to upload a copy of the original high school record showing completion, with the English translation if it is not in English; it does not say who must translate.
HACC, Central Pennsylvania's Community College accepts certified translations from professional services such as eVerbary.
College work from abroad is reviewed for credit only through a course-by-course evaluation from one of HACC's approved evaluators, and health career programs ask for an evaluation of a foreign high school record; those evaluations are something we do not provide.
HACC at a glance
Does it accept eVerbary? Yes
HACC's international application asks for the high school record "and the English translation, if applicable", without restricting who translates (international application steps); a certified translation from a professional service such as eVerbary is that kind of translation.

HACC requirements in detail
Translation
A copy of your original high school record showing completion, and the English translation if applicable (Applying to HACC as an international student).
Who may translate
Not stated.
Where
Uploaded with the online international application, together with the bank statement and passport page (Applying to HACC as an international student).
Foreign college credit
Only through a course-by-course evaluation from a HACC-approved service, sent by the agency to HACC (transcript evaluation, approved list).
Health careers
Graduates of non-US high schools need an evaluation of the secondary record by a HACC-approved service, or a GED or Commonwealth Secondary School Diploma (Verification of high school graduation, health careers (PDF)).
Deadlines (F-1)
Fall: apply by July 1. Spring: by November 1. No summer admission. $35 fee (Applying to HACC as an international student).
Campuses (F-1)
Harrisburg or Lancaster, depending on the program (Applying to HACC as an international student).
F-1 applicants: one upload with the application
HACC builds the document list into the online application.
Next to the bank statement or certified bank letter (less than six months old, showing $31,760 for 2025-26), the affidavit of support and the passport page, you upload proof of high school completion: a copy of your original high school record showing that you finished secondary school, and its English translation if the record is not in English (Applying to HACC as an international student).
English test scores can be uploaded with the record but are optional at this stage; if you have none, an ESL faculty member interviews you online.
The rule is a translation, not an evaluation: HACC does not ask F-1 applicants to send the high school record to an agency.
Credit for college work abroad: an approved agency only
HACC reviews a foreign transcript only if you submit a course-by-course evaluation from a service on its list (Transcript evaluation).
The list names IESCAREE, ECE, Education Evaluators International, Foreign Academic Credential Service, Foundation for International Services, International Consultants of Delaware, IERF, Josef Silny & Associates, Scholaro and WES; you ask your school to send the transcript to the agency, and the agency sends its official result directly to HACC (Transfer of credit from foreign institutions (PDF)).
The agencies set their own rules for translations. WES, for example, accepts a word-for-word translation from a professional translation service (WES); Josef Silny accepts outside translators in the US only if they are certified by ATA (JS&A). See translation for credential evaluation.
Nursing and health careers
The State Board of Nursing and most HACC health career programs need official proof of high school graduation, opened by a HACC official; student copies are not accepted.
For a non-US high school, that proof is an evaluation by a HACC-approved service showing graduation, unless you hold a GED or a Commonwealth Secondary School Diploma (Verification of high school graduation, health careers (PDF)).
Translate the diploma and transcript first, then order the evaluation.

Uploading the translation to HACC
F-1 applicants upload the high school record and its translation with the online international application; HACC then emails you if anything else is needed (Applying to HACC as an international student).
For credit or health career programs, the translation goes to the approved agency with your records, and the agency sends HACC the result (Transfer of credit from foreign institutions (PDF)). Questions on international evaluations go to transcripteval@hacc.edu.
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 HACC that means we translate your high school record and bank documents; the course-by-course or high school evaluation comes from an approved 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.
