New Jersey Institute of Technology: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language
NJIT asks international transfer applicants for certified translations of all academic records not in English, from an agency, and its transfer-credit page names commercial translation companies while saying you are free to choose any other agency. New Jersey Institute of Technology accepts certified translations from professional services such as eVerbary. First-year applicants send a high school transcript in English or a notarized copy; transfer credit also needs a NACES course-by-course evaluation (most students use WES), which we do not provide.

NJIT requirements at a glance
| What NJIT asks for | |
|---|---|
| Translation, transfers | Certified translations of all academic records in another language; the page adds that they must come from a "university-recognized agency" (source). |
| Who may translate | For syllabi, a certified translation process; NJIT names two translation companies, says it is not affiliated with them, and lets you choose other agencies (source). |
| First-year | An official high school transcript in English or a notarized copy (source). No evaluation agency is named. |
| Evaluation | Transfers with college work abroad need a WES or other NACES evaluation to receive credit (admitted students); the credit process asks for a course-by-course report (source). |
| Transfer credit steps | Official transcripts in the original language and in English from the issuing institution, the evaluation, a Transfer Credit Request Form per subject (up to five courses), and translated syllabi and course descriptions. It takes 1 to 2 months (source). |
| Graduate | No translation rule on the graduate pages. Unofficial copies are accepted to complete the application, official documents before enrolling (FAQ); an evaluation is required only when the admissions committee cannot evaluate your credentials (catalog). |
| Does it accept eVerbary? | Yes. NJIT's transfer page asks for certified translations from an agency (international transfers), and its transfer credit page lists commercial certified-translation companies and adds that you are free to choose other agencies, so a certified translation from a professional service such as eVerbary meets it.

Transfer credit at NJIT: faculty read your syllabi
NJIT does not award credit for foreign college work from a transcript alone. Its international transfer credit process has four parts: official transcripts in both languages from your institution, a course-by-course evaluation from a NACES member (most NJIT students use WES), an International Transfer Credit Request Form sent to the department that teaches the subject, and course descriptions and syllabi in English.
Faculty evaluators in each department compare your syllabus with the NJIT course; for Calculus I, for example, the mathematics department reviews it. One request covers up to five courses in the same subject. A syllabus in another language has to go through a certified translation, and NJIT lists two translation companies while saying you may use any other agency. The whole process takes one to two months, so order the translations early.
First-year and graduate applicants
For first-year applicants, the international application page asks for an official high school transcript in English or a notarized copy, and says NJIT reviews your educational system itself; no evaluation agency is required. Applications go through the Common App.
NJIT's graduate pages do not state a translation rule. Graduate Admissions accepts unofficial copies to complete an application (source), and the graduate catalog publishes a table of foreign degrees it treats as equal to a US bachelor's, asking for an evaluation only when the committee cannot assess your credentials. The Martin Tuchman School of Management waives the GMAT/GRE for international master's applicants with a 3.0 GPA only with a WES or other NACES evaluation (source).
Where NJIT's pages differ
The international transfer page says certified translations must come from a "university-recognized agency" without saying which agencies those are. The transfer credit page asks for transcripts in English sent by the issuing institution, and for syllabi lets you choose any certified translation agency. We have not resolved that difference for you; if your institution cannot issue an English transcript, ask the Office of University Admissions (admissions@njit.edu) which translation it will accept before you order.
Documents applicants usually translate
- University transcripts and degree certificates
- Course syllabi and course descriptions for transfer credit
- High school transcript, if it is not issued in English
- Diplomas for graduate applications
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 NJIT
Transfer applicants apply at njit.edu/apply and send official transcripts to the Office of University Admissions; syllabi and course descriptions are uploaded after the International Transfer Credit Request Form is submitted (source).
Graduate applicants upload unofficial copies to the application portal and send official documents before enrolling (source).
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 NJIT transfers, the course-by-course NACES evaluation and the English transcript your institution sends directly are not something we provide; we translate the records and syllabi.
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
Who can translate my records for an NJIT transfer application?
NJIT asks for certified translations from an agency (source), and its transfer credit page names translation companies and says you are free to choose others (source). A certified translation from a professional service such as eVerbary is that kind of translation.
Do my syllabi need a certified translation?
Yes. If a syllabus is in a foreign language, NJIT requires it to be translated into English through a certified translation process (source).
Which evaluation agency should I use for NJIT?
Any NACES member, course-by-course; NJIT notes that most of its students use WES (source).
How long does international transfer credit take?
NJIT says the process takes one to two months from start to finish (source).
Does my high school transcript need an evaluation?
No. First-year applicants send an official transcript in English or a notarized copy, and NJIT reviews the education system itself (source).
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.
