Stockton University: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Worth knowing about Stockton

Stockton requirements in detail

First-year applicants: a certified translation is enough

Stockton asks first-year applicants for senior secondary transcripts covering years 9 to 12 and the results of any school-leaving exam, such as the WAEC certificate, the Baccalauréat, the Bachillerato or the Russian certificate of secondary general education.

Transcripts not in English can follow either route: an evaluation by an official credentialing agency, or a translation by a certified translator that is notarized (international admission requirements).

Stockton notes that ordering an official evaluation adds costs and one to three weeks to completing the application, so plan the route you choose around the deadline.

An eVerbary certified translation with notarization added at checkout ($34.90 per order) covers the second route. The transcripts themselves must still be sent by your school directly to Stockton by the application deadline.

Transfer applicants: the evaluation is not optional

For college work the rule changes: post-secondary transcripts must be in English and accompanied by an official evaluation (Undergraduate international admission requirements).

Stockton recommends ECE's General Report with Grade Average, IEE's Course Report, TEC's Course Analysis report or WES's Course-by-Course Report, and accepts other agencies accredited by NACES, AACRAO, AICE or TAICEP.

The evaluation must include a course-by-course credit and grade conversion, whether the program is accredited, and the US equivalent level.

Stockton's international FAQ points students transferring from outside the US to the same agencies (FAQ).

Graduate applicants: professional translation plus WES, ECE or TEC

Graduate applicants need a degree equivalent to a four-year US bachelor's degree, and all foreign transcripts and credentials must be evaluated by WES, ECE or The Evaluation Company and sent directly to Stockton.

Documents not in English must come with a translation verified by a language professor or a professional translation, and Stockton suggests sending certified true copies of documents that cannot be replaced (graduate admission).

Documents applicants usually translate

• Senior secondary transcripts, years 9 to 12
• School-leaving exam results (WAEC, Baccalauréat, Bachillerato, Standard XII…)
• University transcripts, for the official evaluation
• Bachelor's degree certificate (graduate)

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 Stockton

• First-year applicants: the school sends the transcripts directly to Stockton, and you add the notarized certified translation, or an evaluation from one of the listed agencies, before the deadline (Undergraduate international admission requirements).

• Transfer and graduate applicants send the translation with their documents to the evaluation agency, which sends its report to Stockton (International graduate student admission).

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.
