How we know · policy checked on October 27, 2026
Laurel Ridge Community College reviews international coursework for transfer credit only through a course-by-course evaluation by an agency that is a member of NACES or approved by the Virginia Department of Education, mailed to it by the agency; it publishes no translation rule of its own.
Laurel Ridge's evaluation agencies, such as WES and ECE, accept certified translations from professional services such as eVerbary.
You order the translation first and send it to the agency; the evaluation itself is something we do not provide.

Laurel Ridge requirements in detail
Translation
Laurel Ridge states no translation rule; foreign transcripts reach it through the agency evaluation (International transcript evaluation).
Who may translate
Set by the evaluation agency: WES accepts a professional service; ECE accepts any complete, word-for-word translation.
Evaluation
Course-by-course, from a NACES member or an agency approved by the Virginia Department of Education, paid by the student (International transcript evaluation).
Not accepted
Document-by-document evaluations, and international transcripts sent without a qualifying course-by-course report (International transcript evaluation).
Which schools count
Colleges and universities accredited or approved by the Ministry of Education or another government agency of their country (International transcript evaluation).
Where it goes
The agency mails the official report directly to Admissions and Records at the Middletown Campus (International transcript evaluation).
F-1 students
Laurel Ridge has an F-1 application; F-1 transfers within the US complete a transfer-in form after acceptance (international students).
Course by course, or not at all
Laurel Ridge is explicit about the report it reads: a course-by-course evaluation.
A document-by-document report, which only states the degree equivalent, will not be accepted for transfer credit, and an international transcript submitted without a qualifying course-by-course evaluation is not reviewed (international transcript evaluation).
The coursework must also come from an institution accredited or approved by its Ministry of Education or another government agency.
Order the course-by-course report from the start, and translate the full transcript with every course title and grade so the agency can list each course.
What the agencies ask for the translation
Laurel Ridge accepts any NACES member or an agency approved by the Virginia Department of Education, and each sets its own translation rule.
WES wants an exact, word-for-word translation by a professional translator or translation service and does not accept translations by applicants.
ECE accepts complete, word-for-word translations, including your own, and sells an $85 translation waiver. See translation for credential evaluation.
Need a certified translation for Laurel Ridge?
$24.95 per page of up to 250 words, certification included, usually within 24 hours for one to three pages. See the price before you pay.
Documents applicants usually translate
- University transcripts and mark sheets, every year
- Degree or diploma certificates
- Course descriptions or syllabi, if the agency asks for them
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 Laurel Ridge
The translation goes to the evaluation agency with your transcripts; the agency mails its official course-by-course report to Laurel Ridge Admissions and Records at the Middletown Campus (International transcript evaluation).
On request we can email the translation directly to the admissions office.
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 Laurel Ridge that means we translate your transcripts; the course-by-course evaluation is ordered by you from a NACES member or a Virginia-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.
