SUNY Cortland requirements in detail
Translation (undergraduate)
Secondary transcripts or school leaving certificate: English translation and original document if not in English (Undergraduate international application checklist).
Translation (graduate)
College transcripts: English translation and original document (Graduate international application checklist); Sport Management online: professional translation of all documents (Sport Management online: program details).
Who may translate
Not stated in the checklists.
Evaluation
Transcripts from foreign universities must be evaluated by a credential service: ECE, WES or another reputable one (Undergraduate international application checklist).
Two stages
Academic documents first; the financial statement, passport copy and I-20 request form only if academically accepted (Undergraduate international application checklist).
Dates
Recommended: April 1 for fall, November 1 for spring; $50 fee (International: apply now).
The translation travels with the original
Cortland's checklists use the same words at both levels: an English translation and the original document are required if the original is not in English (undergraduate, graduate).
For first-year applicants that covers the secondary transcript or the school leaving certificate your country issues instead; for graduate applicants, transcripts from every college attended.
One program is more specific: the online MS in Sport Management asks for official college transcripts with a professional translation of all documents into English, along with the originals (Sport Management).
Foreign university records: an evaluation as well
If you studied at a university abroad, a translation is not enough for undergraduate admission: those transcripts need an evaluation from a credential service, and Cortland names ECE, WES or another reputable service (Undergraduate international application checklist).
Translate first, then send the documents to the agency; WES takes a translation from a professional service (WES), and ECE accepts a complete, literal translation and also sells its own (ECE).
Immigration documents come later. The financial statement with its supporting bank documents, a passport copy and the I-20 request form are needed only once you are academically accepted (Undergraduate international application checklist); bank letters not in English will need a translation then.
Need a certified translation for SUNY Cortland?
$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 or school leaving certificate
- College or university transcripts
- Degree certificates, for graduate applicants

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 SUNY Cortland
Apply through the Common App or the SUNY Application, then submit the transcripts with their English translations and the originals for the academic review (International: apply now, Undergraduate international application checklist).
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 Cortland that means we translate your transcripts and certificates; the ECE or WES evaluation of foreign university records is ordered by you from the agency.
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
Does SUNY Cortland require a translation?
Yes, an English translation together with the original document whenever a transcript is not in English (Undergraduate international application checklist).
Who can translate my documents for Cortland?
The checklists do not say (Undergraduate international application checklist). A certified translation from a professional service such as eVerbary qualifies.
Do I need an evaluation for my high school record?
The checklist asks for an evaluation of foreign university transcripts, not of secondary school records (Undergraduate international application checklist).
What does the online Sport Management program ask for?
Official college transcripts with a professional translation of all documents into English, along with the originals (Sport Management online: program details).
When should I apply?
Cortland recommends April 1 for fall and November 1 for spring (International: apply now).
Will eVerbary convert my grades to a US GPA?
No. The translation reproduces the grades and the grading scale exactly as they appear. A GPA conversion is credential evaluation, which the institution or an evaluation agency does.
