Saint Paul College: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Worth knowing about Saint Paul College

Saint Paul College requirements in detail

A short F-1 file: the certificate and its translation

Saint Paul College asks for proof of secondary completion rather than a full record: the high school or secondary school certificate with its completion date, which must lead to university study in your country, plus an English translation if it is in another language (F-1 application process).

Higher education transcripts or diplomas may serve instead in some cases. Translate the secondary certificate in full, with its stamps and the completion date, since that date is what the college checks.

Everything goes in the International Application eForm, which you open with the StarID created by the free online application.

The form deletes your entries after 30 minutes, so have the certificate, its translation, the English proficiency proof, the bank statement (within the last 3 months, at least $28,550) and the passport ready as files before you log in (F-1 international student application process).

College credit from abroad: AICE or NACES, after admission

Saint Paul College does not evaluate international transcripts.

To transfer credit, you order an evaluation from any AICE or NACES member; the college highly recommends ECE or WES, may ask for course descriptions or syllabi, and does not guarantee transfer (F-1 international student application process).

The transfer page adds that a Pathway Advisor can look at a copy before you pay for an evaluation, if the transcript is in English, to judge whether courses are likely to transfer.

The agencies set their own translation rules: WES wants a professional translator and does not accept translations by applicants; ECE accepts a complete, word-for-word translation, including your own, or sells an $85 Translation Waiver. Allow 4 to 8 weeks after you are admitted to a major.

Documents applicants usually translate

• High school or secondary school certificate showing the completion date
• University transcripts or diplomas, if used to show secondary completion
• College transcripts, for an AICE or NACES evaluation
• Bank statement or letter, 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 Saint Paul College

• Upload the certificate and its translation in the International Application eForm with your StarID, in one session of up to 30 minutes (F-1 international student application process).

• For credit, send the translated college transcripts to the evaluator you choose; the evaluation is reviewed after you are admitted to a major (How to transfer to Saint Paul College).
