Ogeechee Technical College: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Worth knowing about Ogeechee Tech

Ogeechee Tech requirements in detail

Not only for F-1 students

Ogeechee Tech classifies as international anyone educated outside the US, anyone on a visa of any class, and applicants whose permanent residency is still in process, not only F-1 students (international admissions).

Its general eligibility rules say the same for every applicant: a diploma from a secondary school outside the US must be translated and evaluated by an approved outside organization (eligibility).

If you completed a university degree, you may submit the evaluation of the university transcript instead of the high school one, and no high school or GED transcript is needed.

For high school records, translate the full diploma, every transcript year and the grading scale before you open the agency file.

Bank letters and sponsors: translation and the amount

For F-1 and M-1 applicants, original bank documents must reach the Admissions Office directly, be dated within three months, be issued on bank letterhead or signed and stamped by a bank official, and come with an English translation if not in English.

A family member or friend who pays must add a notarized sponsorship document, also translated if not in English (International admissions).

The page gives two figures: proof of financial capacity of at least $40,719 at the top, and a balance equivalent to $28,000 at a minimum, plus $2,500 per dependent, in the detailed rules (International admissions). Ask Admissions which applies before you gather and translate statements.

What the recommended agencies ask

WES accepts a word-for-word translation by a professional translator or translation service, not by the applicant.

Josef Silny & Associates asks for translations made in the US by ATA-certified translators; eVerbary can assign one on request through a free quote. Lisano International is also recommended; check its rule before ordering.

Documents applicants usually translate

• High school diploma and transcripts
• University transcripts and degree certificates
• Bank statements or bank letters
• Notarized sponsorship document, 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 Ogeechee Tech

• Mail original financial documents and sealed transcripts to the Admissions Office, 1 Joe Kennedy Blvd., Statesboro, GA 30458; the application is not processed until every item is in (International admissions).

• The translations of your school records also go to the evaluation agency with the records. On request we can email the translation directly to the admissions office.

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.
