Requirements checked on November 13, 2026 from PUC's public pages (sources).
Pacific Union College requires international applicants to provide an official course-by-course evaluation of their foreign transcripts by WES, ECE or IERF.
PUC's evaluation agencies, WES, ECE and IERF, accept certified translations from professional services such as eVerbary. The translation comes first and goes to the agency; the evaluation itself is something we do not provide.

Sample translation: a Congolese secondary school transcript
This is what an order looks like when it is delivered, with a fictitious student. The PDF starts with the signed certification page, and the translation follows the original line for line: every abbreviation is explained, stamps, seals and signatures are noted in brackets, and the grid stays the same, so an admissions officer or a credential evaluator can match it without guessing.
What to notice
- Two school years in the same grid as the original: every subject, grading period, exam and total, so each grade can be read against its maximum.
- The French rating abbreviations are translated (TB becomes VG, Very good), and every abbreviation is explained in a translator's note at the foot of the same page, including one the original never defines.
- Dates are written the US way (the original's 02/07/2015 is February 7, 2015).
- The photo, seals and signatures are noted in brackets where they appear.

PUC requirements in detail
Translation
PUC states no translation rule of its own; foreign transcripts reach it through the agency evaluation.
Who may translate
Evaluation
Official course-by-course evaluation by WES, ECE or IERF (International students, catalog).
Regular admission
International applicants must also meet the first-year or transfer admission requirements in the General Catalog (International students).
English
TOEFL iBT 80, ACT English 15, SAT 430, IELTS 6.5, PTE 59, iTEP 4.0 or Duolingo 105 (International students).
Scholarship
International Seventh-day Adventist students can receive 50% of tuition, renewable for four years (International students).
Course-by-course, from one of three agencies
PUC considers an international applicant once regular admission requirements are met, English ability is shown and an official course-by-course evaluation of the foreign transcripts arrives from World Education Services, Educational Credential Evaluators or the International Education Research Foundation (catalog, international students). No other agency is listed, and the report must be course-by-course.
What each evaluation agency asks for the translation
WES wants an exact, word-for-word translation by a professional translator, such as a certified translation agency, does not accept applicant translations and does not translate itself.
ECE asks for complete, word-for-word translations in the same format as the original, lets applicants prepare them, and sells an $85 Translation Waiver under which it translates internally for the report.
IERF wants typed, line-by-line, word-for-word translations and may require professional ones.
Need a certified translation for PUC?

Documents applicants usually translate
- Secondary school transcripts and diploma
- College or university transcripts

- Grading scale printed with the transcripts
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 with no word cap, 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 PUC
For PUC, the translation goes to WES, ECE or IERF with your records (WES takes it in your WES account), and the agency sends the course-by-course evaluation to PUC admissions (International students, WES).
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 PUC that means we translate your transcripts for WES, ECE or IERF; the course-by-course evaluation is ordered by you from the agency after the translation.
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

Which agencies does PUC accept?
WES, ECE and IERF (Admission to the College, PUC General Catalog).
Is there a discount for Adventist students?
