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.

UCA requirements in detail
Translation
First-year: transcripts or mark sheets with an English translation, and the diploma or leaving certificate translated into English (International first-time freshman admission). Transfer: college transcripts translated into English (International transfer and post-baccalaureate students).
Who may translate
UCA accepts eVerbary's certified translations (International first-time freshman admission).
Evaluation
Transfer and graduate: a credential evaluation from IEE, TEC, WES, ECE or another NACES member for every non-US transcript (International transfer and post-baccalaureate students, graduate).
What the evaluation includes
Course by course, GPA on the US scale, US degree equivalent, a copy of the transcript and the institution's accreditation (International transfer and post-baccalaureate students).
Country rules
Kenya, Rwanda, Nepal and India: national exam report cards; Nigeria and Ghana: WAEC certificate and scratch card (International first-time freshman admission).
Minimum GPA
2.50 for first-year, 2.0 for transfers with 24 or more credit hours, 2.70 for graduate study (first-year, transfer, graduate).
Funds
Bank statement in English, from the last six months, covering two semesters (International first-time freshman admission).
First-year and transfer applicants send different things
For a first-year international applicant, UCA's checklist asks for at least three academic years of secondary transcripts or mark sheets with an English translation, a 2.50 minimum GPA, and a copy of the diploma, leaving certificate or GED translated into English; it does not ask for a credential evaluation.
Students from Kenya, Rwanda, Nepal and India add national exam report cards, and students from Nigeria and Ghana the WAEC certificate and scratch card.
Transfer and post-baccalaureate applicants with 24 or more credit hours send official transcripts or mark sheets from every college attended, translated into English, with a credential evaluation from IEE, TEC, WES, ECE or another NACES member; with fewer than 24 hours they also send high school transcripts and diploma (transfer).
The evaluation must be course by course, give a GPA on the US scale and the US degree equivalent, and include a copy of the transcript.
Graduate applicants
UCA's graduate page asks for copies of diplomas and official transcripts from all universities attended, with a NACES credential evaluation (IEE, TEC, ECE or another member) for every non-US transcript, and a 2.70 minimum GPA; some programs set a higher one. Applicants who must apply through PTCAS submit a WES evaluation.
WES and ECE accept certified translations from professional services, so the order is the same as for transfers: translation first, then the evaluation. See also translation for WES.

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 UCA
Apply online at admissions.uca.edu and send the records with their English translations as part of the international application; questions go to InternationalAdmission@uca.edu (International first-time freshman admission).
Transfer and graduate applicants also order the evaluation, which must include the transcript, from the agency.
eVerbary delivers a signed PDF of the certified translation; on request we can also email it directly to the admissions office.
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 UCA that means we translate your transcripts, diplomas and exam certificates; the course-by-course evaluation required of transfer and graduate applicants comes from a NACES member such as WES or ECE.
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.
