Judson at a glance
Does it accept eVerbary? Yes

Sample translation: a Congolese secondary school transcript
This is what an order looks like when it is delivered, with a fictitious student. The PDF starts with the signed certification page, and the translation follows the original line for line: every abbreviation is explained, stamps, seals and signatures are noted in brackets, and the grid stays the same, so an admissions officer or a credential evaluator can match it without guessing.
What to notice
- Two school years in the same grid as the original: every subject, grading period, exam and total, so each grade can be read against its maximum.
- The French rating abbreviations are translated (TB becomes VG, Very good), and every abbreviation is explained in a translator's note at the foot of the same page, including one the original never defines.
- Dates are written the US way (the original's 02/07/2015 is February 7, 2015).
- The photo, seals and signatures are noted in brackets where they appear.

Judson requirements in detail
Translation
Submit records in the original language and an Official English Translation if they are not in English (International students).
Who may translate
Not stated (International students).
Originals or copies
Final secondary transcripts and exam results must be official originals or attested copies (International students).
Evaluation
Applicants outside the US send transcripts to InCred, which Judson recommends; transfers in the US with fewer than 28 credits are pointed to WES or another service such as InCred (International students).
Transfer credit
Course descriptions are needed to transfer college courses; if not in English, an official translation is needed (International students).
Deadlines
June 1 for fall and November 1 for spring; the $50 application fee is waived until January 1 (International students).
English
TOEFL iBT 79 or IELTS 6.5, or SAT/ACT instead (International students).
Three documents to translate for a transfer
Judson's list for transfers from outside the US goes further than most: the final secondary transcript or exam results, the transcripts of all university work, and, for any course you want credited, the course descriptions, each with an official translation if not in English (International students).
Course descriptions are often long syllabi; translate only the courses you want reviewed, but translate each description in full so the faculty can compare content.
Both the original-language document and the translation are submitted, so keep the translation tied to each page of the original, with the stamps and signatures rendered.
InCred, WES and where the translation fits
For first-year applicants and transfers from outside the US, Judson asks schools to send official transcripts to InCred, a credential evaluation service, and recommends going through InCred for the translated records (International students).
For US transfers with fewer than 28 credits and foreign records, it recommends WES and allows another service such as InCred (International students).
Judson's own rule, the Official English Translation, does not name a translator, so a certified translation from a professional service can go to the evaluator and to Judson.

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.

Uploading the translation to Judson
Send the original-language records and their translations as Judson's international steps describe: through InCred where Judson recommends it, or to the Office of Admissions, 1151 N State St., Elgin, IL 60123, for US applicants (International students).
The Certificate of Finances, showing $20,000 a year, goes to Judson's international admissions representative (International students).
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 Judson that means we translate your transcripts, exam results and course descriptions; the InCred or WES evaluation is ordered by you from the 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.
Frequently asked questions
What kind of translation does Judson accept?
An Official English Translation; Judson does not say who must make it (International students). A certified translation from a professional service such as eVerbary qualifies.
Do I submit the original documents too?
Yes. Judson asks for records in the original language as official originals or attested copies, plus the translation (International students).
Do course descriptions need a translation?
Yes, if they are not in English and you want the courses transferred (International students).
Which evaluation service does Judson recommend?
InCred for applicants outside the US; WES, or another service such as InCred, for US transfers with fewer than 28 credits (International students).
When is the deadline?
June 1 for fall and November 1 for spring (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.
