SUNY Oswego asks international transfer applicants to submit a certified translation of their transcripts where applicable, and does not say who must translate.

SUNY Oswego requirements in detail
Translation
Where applicable, a certified translation of the transcripts (International transfer applicants).
Who may translate
Not stated.
First-year records
Official transcripts from every high school and university attended; the first-year page has no separate translation sentence (International undergraduate applicants).
Transfer credit
The college must be accredited by the home-country Ministry of Education, and you may be asked for a WES evaluation; Oswego recommends SpanTran (discounted) and WES (International transfer applicants).
Graduate
International transcripts verified by a WES ICAP course-by-course evaluation, an IEE Evaluation Course Report or a TEC Divisional Course Analysis (International graduate applicants).
Where to send
Undergraduate documents by postal mail or email to International Student and Scholar Services; graduate transcripts directly to the Office of Graduate Studies.
Timing
Rolling admission; documents encouraged by May 15 for fall and November 15 for spring (International undergraduate applicants).
Transfers: the translation and the evaluation are separate steps
You are a transfer at Oswego once you have registered for at least 12 credit hours at a college after high school.
You send official transcripts from every college, whatever the credits, and the high school transcript too if you have fewer than 24 credits.
The page then states the rule plainly: where applicable, a certified translation of the transcripts must be submitted (International transfer applicants).
Credit is a second question.
Your college must be accredited by the Ministry of Education in your home country, and Oswego may ask for a WES evaluation of your courses; it recommends SpanTran, which offers Oswego applicants a discounted rate, and WES (International transfer applicants).
WES takes a translation from a professional translation service (WES).
Graduate applicants: one of three evaluation reports
For graduate study, Oswego verifies every international transcript through one of three named reports: a WES Course by Course (ICAP) evaluation, an IEE Evaluation Course Report or a TEC (formerly SpanTran) Divisional Course Analysis (graduate applicants).
The agency, not Oswego, sets the translation rule.
WES and IEE accept a translation by a professional or certified translator (WES, IEE); TEC asks that an outside translator be individually certified by ATA (TEC), which eVerbary can arrange on request through a free quote. Official transcripts go directly to the Office of Graduate Studies.
Need a certified translation for SUNY Oswego?
$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
- University transcripts and course records
- High school transcript, if you have fewer than 24 college credits

- Bank statement, 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 SUNY Oswego
Apply through the SUNY Application or the Common App ($50), then send transcripts and their certified translations by postal mail or email to International Student and Scholar Services (International undergraduate applicants).
After applying you can track what has arrived in Oswego's application portal (Admissions: international applicants).
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 Oswego that means we translate your transcripts; the WES evaluation for transfer credit, or the WES, IEE or TEC report for graduate study, 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 Oswego require a certified translation?
For international transfer applicants, yes, where the transcripts are not in English (International transfer applicants).
Who can make the translation?
Oswego does not say (International transfer applicants). A certified translation from a professional service such as eVerbary qualifies.
Do I need a WES evaluation to transfer credits?
You may be asked for one; Oswego recommends SpanTran and WES (International transfer applicants).
Which evaluation does the graduate school accept?
A WES ICAP course-by-course evaluation, an IEE Evaluation Course Report or a TEC Divisional Course Analysis (International graduate applicants).
