Southwestern requirements in detail
Translation
Transcripts and examination results must be in English (International students).
Who may translate
A certified translator, who may send them directly; the school or examination board may also send English versions (International students).
What to send
Secondary transcripts listing all courses and grades, and/or results of cumulative examinations (International students).
Evaluation
A transcript evaluation from any NACES provider; IEE or WES recommended (International students).
English
TOEFL 88 or IELTS 6.5; Southwestern offers no courses for English language learners (International students).
After admission
A US$400 enrollment deposit before the I-20 (International students).
Sent directly by the translator
Southwestern names three senders for records in English: your school, the examination board, or a certified translator (International students).
That means the certified translation of your secondary school transcript or examination results can travel straight from the translator to the admission office, and eVerbary sends it by email on request.
Results of cumulative examinations count alongside or instead of course transcripts.
The evaluation, and what IEE and WES ask
Southwestern also asks for a transcript evaluation and recommends IEE, which wants a certified translator rather than the applicant, or WES, which wants a word-for-word translation by a professional translator; any NACES provider is accepted (International students).
The same certified translation serves the admission file and the agency.

$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
- Secondary school transcripts, all courses and grades
- National or cumulative examination results

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 Southwestern
Ask us to email the certified translation directly to Southwestern's admission office, as its rule allows, and order the evaluation from IEE, WES or another NACES provider (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.
For Southwestern that means we translate your records; the transcript evaluation is ordered by you from IEE, WES or another NACES provider.
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.
