SUNY Old Westbury requirements in detail
Translation
No undergraduate translation rule of its own; records are sent in the original language and the evaluation agency sets the translation rule.
Secondary records
An original copy of the secondary school transcripts and certificates in the original language (How to apply (international), oldwestbury.edu).
Evaluation
An official evaluation of all non-American educational documents from WES or ECE, sent to Enrollment Management; waivable for a few countries only (How to apply (international), oldwestbury.edu).
Transfers
Course-by-course evaluation; WES, ECE or SpanTran recommended, any NACES member accepted; minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA for most programs (International admissions requirements and deadlines).
Syllabus
A syllabus or college catalog translated into English is strongly recommended, sent to the Registrar (How to apply (international), oldwestbury.edu).
Graduate
An official translation/evaluation by WES or another NACES member, course by course; copies not accepted (Graduate admissions).
Original-language records, then an evaluation
Old Westbury asks first-year applicants for an original copy of their secondary school transcripts and certificates "in the original language", and transfers for their post-secondary transcripts and diplomas in the original language as well (How to apply (international), oldwestbury.edu).
What turns them into a US equivalent is the evaluation: an official credential evaluation of all non-American documents from WES or ECE, which Old Westbury uses to set the US average (freshmen need the equivalent of an 80) and the transfer GPA (requirements).
Transfers can use any NACES member for a course-by-course report, with WES, ECE and SpanTran recommended (International admissions requirements and deadlines).
Old Westbury also strongly recommends sending the Registrar a syllabus or college catalog translated into English, to help with advising and credit (How to apply (international), oldwestbury.edu); that is a translation we can make.
What each evaluation agency asks for the translation
WES requires a word-for-word translation by a professional translator or translation service and does not accept translations made by applicants (WES).
ECE accepts a complete, literal translation from anyone, including you, and sells an $85 translation waiver under which it translates for the evaluation (ECE).
For graduate study, Old Westbury words it as an official translation/evaluation by WES or another NACES member (graduate); in practice the translation goes to the agency with your documents.

Uploading the translation to SUNY Old Westbury
The translation goes to WES or ECE with your documents; the agency sends the evaluation to Old Westbury's Office of Enrollment Management (How to apply (international), oldwestbury.edu). A translated syllabus or catalog goes to the Office of the Registrar.
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 Old Westbury that means we translate your records for WES or ECE, and your syllabi for the Registrar; the evaluation 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.
