Ivy Tech Community College: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language
Ivy Tech Community College publishes no translation rule of its own: F-1 applicants with records from outside the US need an evaluation from a NACES member, a general evaluation of the high school record for admission and a course-by-course evaluation for transfer credit, sent electronically by the agency to Ivy Tech. Ivy Tech's evaluation agencies, such as WES, ECE, IERF and IEE, accept certified translations from professional services such as eVerbary. You order the translation first and send it to the agency with your records; the agency then writes the evaluation, which we do not provide.
Five preferred agencies
ECE, IEE, The Evaluation Company, WES and IERF.
Sent electronically
The agency emails the evaluation to iss@ivytech.edu.
June 1
Fall document deadline for applicants outside the US.
Ivy Tech requirements at a glance
| What Ivy Tech asks for | |
|---|---|
| Translation | Ivy Tech states no translation rule; transcripts from schools outside the US reach it only through a NACES evaluation (International students). The translation is what the agency needs before it can evaluate a document not in English. |
| Who may translate | Set by the evaluation agency. WES, ECE, IERF and IEE accept a translation from a professional service; The Evaluation Company asks for an ATA-certified translator (see below). |
| Evaluation | From a NACES member: a general evaluation for high school, showing the equivalent of a US diploma; a course-by-course evaluation for college credit you want transferred (International students). |
| Preferred agencies | Educational Credential Evaluators, International Education Evaluation, The Evaluation Company, World Education Services and International Education Research Foundation; the report must be sent electronically (International students). |
| Where it goes | The evaluator sends the official evaluation directly to iss@ivytech.edu; your other documents go to the same address with your name, date of birth and the email you applied with (International students). |
| Deadlines | Applicants outside the US: June 1 for fall, November 1 for spring, April 1 for summer. Transfers from a US college: July 1, December 1, May 1 (International students). |
| Course placement | International students supply a NACES-approved transcript; uploads for placement need not be official (course placement). |
| Does it accept eVerbary? | Yes. Ivy Tech asks for an evaluation from a NACES member and names five preferred companies (international admissions), and WES accepts a certified translation from a professional translation service (WES translation rules); ECE, IERF and IEE accept one as well, while The Evaluation Company asks for a translator certified by ATA.

What each evaluation agency asks for the translation
Ivy Tech names five preferred NACES companies, and each sets its own translation rule. WES wants an exact, word-for-word translation by a professional translator, such as a certified translation agency or another professional service; it does not accept translations by applicants and does not translate documents itself. IEE wants a certified translator, not the applicant or a notary public, generally accepts translations from a university or embassy in the home country, and sells its own translations from $60 per page.
ECE asks for complete, word-for-word translations in the same format as the original and lets applicants prepare them themselves; for $85 it sells a Translation Waiver, under which ECE translates internally for the report and no translation is delivered to you. IERF asks for typed, line-by-line, word-for-word translations, reserves the right to require a professional translation, and its glossary calls one required.
The Evaluation Company is stricter: an outside translator must be certified by the American Translators Association (ATA), or TEC's own team translates after your application is complete; another of its pages speaks of an ATA member instead. If you choose TEC, eVerbary can assign a translator individually certified by ATA for the languages ATA certifies: ask for a free quote and say it is for TEC.
High school, college credit and placement
For an F-1 application the high school record always goes through a general evaluation, and the report has to show the equivalent of a US high school diploma, or an associate degree or higher for college study. Foreign college credit you want counted needs a course-by-course report from a NACES member (International students). Students transferring from a US college generally send no high school transcript or evaluation, but select programs such as Nursing still ask for one (International students).
Placement is separate from admission. Students who already have college credits in English or math, or a degree, can skip the placement test; international students do so with a NACES-approved transcript, uploaded after applying until the end of the term they applied for. After that term, documents go to the nearest Ivy Tech Enrollment Center instead (Course placement).
The order of steps for Ivy Tech
Ivy Tech does not process an application until every requirement is in, and for applicants abroad the fall deadline is June 1 (International students). Translate first, with every page, stamp and grade, so the agency file is complete on the day you open it; then ask the agency to send its report electronically to iss@ivytech.edu. Ivy Tech has no application fee, but the evaluation and the translation are paid by you.
Documents applicants usually translate
- Secondary school diploma or leaving certificate, for the general evaluation
- Secondary school transcripts or mark sheets, every year
- University transcripts and degree certificates, for a course-by-course evaluation
- Associate or bachelor's degree certificates, for the equivalence the evaluation must show
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 Ivy Tech
For foreign records, the translation is not sent to Ivy Tech: it goes to the evaluation agency with your documents (WES, for example, takes it in your WES account). The agency sends the finished evaluation electronically to iss@ivytech.edu (International students).
Passport, financial and English proficiency documents are scanned and emailed by you to the same address, each time with your full name, date of birth and the email you used to apply (International students).
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: Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Chinese, Arabic, Russian and Ukrainian at $34.95 per page, and Japanese, Korean, Polish, Dutch, Swedish, Croatian, Danish and Persian at $44.95 per page.
To order it, ask for a free quote and write in the notes that the translation is for Ivy 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.
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 Ivy Tech that means we translate your records for the agency; the general or course-by-course evaluation is ordered by you from a NACES member after the translation, and the agency sends it to Ivy Tech.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Does Ivy Tech require a certified translation of my transcript?
Ivy Tech itself publishes no translation rule. It requires an evaluation from a NACES member (International students), and the agency asks for the translation: WES, for example, wants one from a professional translator (WES).
Which evaluation company should I use for Ivy Tech?
Ivy Tech lists five preferred NACES companies: ECE, IEE, The Evaluation Company, WES and IERF, and asks that the report be sent electronically (International students). Their translation rules differ; compare them before ordering the translation.
Can I use an eVerbary translation with The Evaluation Company?
TEC asks for an outside translator certified by ATA (TEC). eVerbary can provide one on request through a free quote, for Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Chinese, Arabic, Russian and Ukrainian ($34.95 per page) or Japanese, Korean, Polish, Dutch, Swedish, Croatian, Danish and Persian ($44.95 per page). ATA certifies no other languages into English.
Do I need a course-by-course evaluation?
Only if you have college credits from outside the US that you want transferred; for the high school record a general evaluation is enough (International students).
Where do I send my documents?
Everything goes by email to iss@ivytech.edu, with your name, date of birth and application email; the evaluation must come from the evaluator itself (International students).
Will eVerbary convert my grades to a US GPA?
No. The translation reproduces the grades and the grading scale exactly as they appear. A GPA conversion is credential evaluation, which the institution or an evaluation agency does.
