How we know · policy checked on October 26, 2026
North Idaho College says high school transcripts do not need to be translated into English, though it may ask for a translation if needed, and that international college transcripts must first be evaluated by WES or another NACES-approved agency before NIC reviews the courses.
NIC's evaluation agencies, such as WES and ECE, accept certified translations from professional services such as eVerbary, and NIC does not restrict who translates when it asks for one. The evaluation comes from the agency, not from us.

NIC requirements in detail
Translation
High school transcripts need no English translation, but NIC may request one (North Idaho College: international students).
Who may translate
Not stated; for college records, set by the evaluation agency.
High school delivery
The school may email or fax the transcript directly to NIC international admissions (North Idaho College: international students).
College credit
International transcripts go first, at your expense, to WES or a similar NACES-approved agency for an external evaluation of credentials and individual courses; then NIC Admissions evaluates them (North Idaho College: international students).
All schools
Official transcripts from every institution attended, even if credits were already transferred (North Idaho College: international students).
US transfers
Official transcripts showing completed English and math courses (North Idaho College: international students).
High school as issued, college through an agency
North Idaho College is unusually relaxed about high school records: they do not need to be translated into English, and your school can email or fax them directly to NIC, though NIC may ask for a translation if it needs one (international students).
If it does, translate the full transcript and diploma so the request is closed in one step. See high school diploma translation.
College work is different.
NIC wants official transcripts from every institution you attended, and international ones go first to WES or another NACES-approved agency for an evaluation of your credentials and individual courses, at your cost; NIC Admissions then evaluates the coursework itself (North Idaho College: international students).
What the agencies ask for the translation
WES, which NIC names, requires an exact, word-for-word translation by a professional translator or service and does not accept the applicant's own.
ECE, another NACES member, accepts literal translations, including the applicant's own, or sells an $85 Translation Waiver. Choose the agency before ordering the translation.
Need a certified translation for NIC?
$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
- High school transcript and diploma (translation if NIC asks)
- University or college transcripts, for the agency evaluation
- Bank statements showing the yearly funds NIC requires
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 NIC
High school transcripts reach NIC from the school by email or fax to international admissions; if NIC asks for a translation, eVerbary can email it directly to the office on request (North Idaho College: international students).
For college credit, the translation goes to WES or another NACES agency with your records, and the evaluation reaches NIC Admissions (North Idaho College: 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.
At NIC that means the evaluation of college transcripts comes from WES or another NACES agency; we translate the records.
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 North Idaho College require my high school transcript in English?
No, but NIC may request a translation if needed (North Idaho College: international students).
Which agency should I use for college credit at NIC?
WES or a similar NACES-approved agency (North Idaho College: international students).
Who pays for the evaluation?
You do; NIC says the external evaluation is at the student's expense (North Idaho College: international students).
Do I need transcripts from every college?
Yes, from every institution attended, even if credits were transferred between them (North Idaho College: international students).
