University of Connecticut: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language
UConn undergraduate admissions requires every academic credential not written in English to come with an official, certified English translation, and it does not say who must make it. University of Connecticut accepts certified translations from professional services such as eVerbary. At enrollment you send the final transcript again, in the original language with a certified translation that shows your graduation date; graduate applicants upload both versions and may also need a NACES or AICE evaluation, which we do not provide.
Official, certified
Required for every academic credential not written in English.
July 1
Final transcript plus certified translation showing your graduation date.
Both languages
Graduate applicants upload transcripts in English and the original language.
UConn requirements at a glance
| What UConn asks for | |
|---|---|
| Translation | Every academic credential not in English needs an official, certified English translation, for first-year and transfer applicants alike (first-year, transfer). |
| Who may translate | Not stated. UConn names no translator type and does not require the school to translate (international credentials). |
| How transcripts arrive | Directly from the school, electronically or in a sealed envelope; for transfer records, copies, faxes and unsealed envelopes are refused (source). |
| Final transcript | Due by July 1 for fall: the native-language transcript plus a certified translation that includes your high school graduation date (admitted student checklist). |
| Evaluation (undergraduate) | First-year: none mentioned. Transfer: not required but strongly recommended, with a discount through TEC (formerly SpanTran) (source). |
| Graduate School | Upload transcripts and diplomas in English and in the original language; NACES or AICE evaluations, with discounted TEC and IEE portals (requirements). |
| Country rules | A country table lists the years and leaving certificate to send, for example the Certificado de Bachillerato for Mexico or the Abitur for Germany. |
| Does it accept eVerbary? | Yes. UConn asks for an "official, certified English translation" of non-English credentials and does not limit who makes it (first-year requirements, transfer requirements), so a certified translation from a professional service such as eVerbary meets it.

The final transcript is translated twice over
UConn reviews your application on the transcripts your school sends, with a certified translation for anything not in English. After you are admitted, the admitted student checklist asks for the final transcript again, received by July 1, and for a non-English transcript it wants both the official transcript in the native language and a certified translation that includes your high school graduation date.
That date is the detail that most often goes missing: many secondary transcripts record it only on the leaving certificate, not on the grade record. If yours does, the translation shows it; if it does not, send the translated certificate with the transcript. We translate dates exactly as written and keep the original document title next to the English one.
The international credentials page names, country by country, which documents count. For Brazil it asks for the transcript from years 1 to 4 with the Certificado de Ensino Medio; for Guatemala, Peru and the United Arab Emirates it says the final documents must come "in original and English".
Graduate School: both versions, and an evaluation that depends on the program
The Graduate School asks you to upload transcripts and degree certificates from outside the U.S. in both English and the primary language of the university, and says the application will not be reviewed without them (requirements). Official documents are only due after an offer; if you have a single set of originals, an international transcript cover sheet lets the Graduate School copy and return them (FAQ).
Three-year bachelor's degrees from India, Canada, Australia, Sri Lanka and Scotland are not treated as equivalent to a four-year U.S. degree, even with an outside evaluation. The School of Business adds that you also need a clear explanation in English of your institution's grading system (source).
Where UConn's graduate pages differ
The Graduate School's requirements page says it requires third-party credential evaluations for transcripts and degrees from outside the U.S., unless your program has opted out. Its FAQ says it does not require them to finalize admission. We have not resolved that difference for you. Ask your program whether it wants an evaluation; either way, the translation of the transcript is a separate document from the evaluation.
Documents applicants usually translate
- Secondary school transcripts for the years UConn lists for your country
- The leaving certificate or diploma, such as the Bachillerato, Abitur or Certificado de Ensino Medio
- National exam results
- University transcripts and degree certificates, for transfer and graduate applicants
- Bank statements and sponsor letters 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 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 UConn
Undergraduate applicants apply through the Common Application or Coalition Application; the school sends transcripts electronically or in a sealed envelope, and transfer records may go to onestop@uconn.edu through Parchment, E-Scrip Safe or the National Student Clearinghouse (source). The certified translation accompanies the credential it belongs to.
Graduate applicants upload both the original-language and English versions to the application, then send official documents after an offer (source).
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 UConn that means we translate your transcripts, certificates and grading scales; a NACES or AICE evaluation, if your graduate program wants one, comes from an evaluation agency such as TEC or IEE.
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
Who can translate my documents for UConn?
UConn asks for an official, certified English translation and does not say who must make it (source). A certified translation from a professional service such as eVerbary meets that wording.
Does my final transcript need a translation too?
Yes. By July 1, send the official transcript in the native language and a certified translation that includes your high school graduation date (source).
Do I need a credential evaluation as an international transfer student?
No, but UConn strongly recommends one and offers a discounted rate through TEC (source).
Which documents should I send for my country?
UConn's international credentials table lists the years and leaving certificate for each country or curriculum; if yours is missing, it asks you to write to onestop@uconn.edu.
Does the Graduate School require a credential evaluation?
Its pages differ: the requirements page says yes unless your program opted out, the FAQ says it is not required to finalize admission. Check with your program.
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.
