Requirements checked on November 13, 2026 from Trinity's public pages (sources).
Trinity Washington University requires that every transcript from outside the United States, high school or university, be evaluated course by course by a member of NACES, and the rule covers US citizens with foreign credit as well as international applicants.
Trinity's evaluation agencies, such as WES and ECE, accept certified translations from professional services such as eVerbary; the translation goes to the agency first, and the agency sends its report to Trinity. The evaluation itself is something we do not provide.

Sample translation: a Congolese secondary school transcript
This is what an order looks like when it is delivered, with a fictitious student. The PDF starts with the signed certification page, and the translation follows the original line for line: every abbreviation is explained, stamps, seals and signatures are noted in brackets, and the grid stays the same, so an admissions officer or a credential evaluator can match it without guessing.
What to notice
- Two school years in the same grid as the original: every subject, grading period, exam and total, so each grade can be read against its maximum.
- The French rating abbreviations are translated (TB becomes VG, Very good), and every abbreviation is explained in a translator's note at the foot of the same page, including one the original never defines.
- Dates are written the US way (the original's 02/07/2015 is February 7, 2015).
- The photo, seals and signatures are noted in brackets where they appear.

Trinity requirements in detail
Translation
Trinity states no translation rule of its own; transcripts from outside the US need a course-by-course evaluation by a NACES member (International applicants).
Who may translate
Set by the evaluation agency. WES and ECE accept a translation from a professional service.
Who it applies to
International applicants and US citizens with high school or college credit from an institution outside the US (catalog).
Documents
Original or certified high school transcripts and degree, university transcripts and mark sheets (Catalog 2025-26: College of Arts and Sciences admission).
English
TOEFL 79 iBT or IELTS 6.5, unless an exemption applies; a C or better in an ENGL 107 equivalent can waive the test (Catalog 2025-26: College of Arts and Sciences admission).
Deadlines
International documents by July 1 for fall and November 1 for spring (Catalog 2025-26: graduate admission).
Graduate
The graduate catalog sets the same NACES course-by-course rule (Catalog 2025-26: graduate admission).
One evaluation rule for every applicant with foreign credit
Trinity does not split its rule by visa: international applicants and US citizens who earned high school or college credit abroad both submit official transcripts with a course-by-course evaluation by a NACES member (international applicants, how to apply).
The admissions FAQ says any transcript used to apply that is not from a US institution must be evaluated by a third-party service, and that evaluations from NACES members are accepted.
The transfer page repeats it for students who attended a non-US school (transfer), and the graduate catalog applies it to master's applicants (graduate catalog).
Everything Trinity receives becomes its property and is not returned, so send certified copies or evaluations rather than originals you need back (Catalog 2025-26: graduate admission).
What each evaluation agency asks for the translation
WES wants an exact, word-for-word translation by a professional translator, such as a certified translation agency; it does not accept translations made by applicants and does not translate documents itself.
ECE asks for complete, word-for-word translations in the same format as the original, lets applicants prepare them, and sells a Translation Waiver under which it translates internally for the report without giving you a translation.
Because Trinity wants a course-by-course report even for high school, translate every page of the transcript and mark sheets, with the grading scale, before you open the agency file. See also translation for WES.
Need a certified translation for Trinity?
$24.95 per page with no word cap, certification included, usually within 24 hours for one to three pages. See the price before you pay.
Documents applicants usually translate
- High school transcripts and diploma or leaving certificate
- University transcripts and mark sheets
- Degree certificates, for transfer and graduate applicants
- Bank statement and sponsor letter, for the I-20
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 with no word cap, 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 Trinity
The translation goes to the NACES agency with your records, not to Trinity; the agency evaluates course by course and sends the report. Transcripts reach Trinity through Parchment, the Clearinghouse, admissions@trinitydc.edu or mail to 125 Michigan Avenue NE (Transfer to Trinity).
Questions about funds for the I-20 go to the International Student Adviser (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 Trinity that means we translate your records for WES, ECE or another NACES member; the course-by-course evaluation is ordered by you from the agency after the translation.
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 Trinity accept my certified translation without an evaluation?
No. Non-US transcripts need a course-by-course evaluation by a NACES member (International applicants). The agency asks for the translation: WES, for example, wants one from a professional translator (WES).
I am a US citizen with a high school diploma from abroad. Does the rule apply to me?
Yes. US citizens with high school or college credit from outside the US submit the same NACES course-by-course evaluation (Catalog 2025-26: College of Arts and Sciences admission).
Which agency should I use?
Any NACES member; Trinity links to the NACES member list (International applicants).
When are my international documents due?
By July 1 for fall and November 1 for spring (Catalog 2025-26: graduate admission).
Do graduate applicants follow the same rule?
Yes. The graduate catalog asks for official transcripts with a NACES course-by-course evaluation (Catalog 2025-26: graduate admission).
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.
