Nashville State Community College: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Worth knowing about Nashville State

Nashville State requirements in detail

What the listed agencies ask for the translation

WES wants an exact, word-for-word translation by a professional translator and rejects translations by applicants. ECE accepts complete, word-for-word translations, including your own.

SpanTran: The Evaluation Company says an outside translator must be certified by the American Translators Association, and Josef Silny asks for ATA-certified translators in the US; for those, eVerbary can assign an ATA-certified translator on request (see below).

Credit from abroad, course by course

Nashville State only considers credit you ask for.

Submit a course-by-course evaluation with a calculated GPA and the course descriptions for the classes you believe match its courses; the Records Office passes them to the academic division, which awards credit for approved courses (International students: how to apply).

Translate the transcripts for the agency and the course descriptions, so the division can compare content.

Documents applicants usually translate

• College or university transcripts, for the course-by-course evaluation
• Course descriptions or syllabi
• Degree certificates
• Bank documents for the Financial Declaration, 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 Nashville State

• The transcript translation goes to the NACES agency; the evaluation and course descriptions go to Nashville State's Records Office (International students: how to apply).

• 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 Nashville State, 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.
