Roosevelt University: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Worth knowing about Roosevelt

Roosevelt requirements in detail

Freshmen and graduate applicants: translate, Roosevelt evaluates

For first-year and graduate admission Roosevelt does the evaluation work itself: depending on the country, it reviews your transcripts in-house or requests an official evaluation at no cost to you, and that evaluation is used only for admission, so you will not receive it (Foreign credential evaluation).

What you supply is the transcript, sent directly by your school to admissionforms@roosevelt.edu, in English or with a certified translation, and showing any national examinations you completed.

Because the school sends the transcript, ask how it can include the translation, or send the certified translation yourself and reference the school's official copy.

Transfers: an outside evaluation from a named agency

Transfer students need a Foreign Credential Evaluation from an approved company: ECE, Educational Perspectives, IERF, SpanTran TEC or WES, or possibly another NACES member that requires official transcripts.

The agency sends the evaluation directly to Roosevelt, and Roosevelt may ask for a syllabus when a course equivalent cannot be verified (Foreign credential evaluation).

Each agency sets its translation rule; most accept a professional certified translation, and TEC asks for a translator certified by ATA. See translation for credential evaluation.

Where Roosevelt's pages differ

The international admission requirements page says every student who completed coursework outside the US must submit a Foreign Credential Evaluation.

The foreign credential evaluation page says freshman and graduate students are not required to obtain one, and the same page also tells graduate applicants to request a course-by-course evaluation.

If you are a graduate applicant, ask intladmissions@roosevelt.edu which applies to your program before ordering one.

Documents applicants usually translate

• Secondary school transcripts and diploma
• National examination results
• University transcripts and degree certificates
• Course syllabi, if Roosevelt asks for them for transfer credit

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 Roosevelt

• Transcripts and certified translations go to admissionforms@roosevelt.edu; the school must send the official transcript directly (Foreign credential evaluation). Transfer evaluations are sent by the agency to the same address.

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.
