Worth knowing about University of Charleston

Literal, not interpretive, translations.

Transfers: NACES
Course by course; a translation alone is not enough.
University of Charleston requirements in detail
Translation (first-year)
Official transcripts and an English translation from every secondary school attended; translations should be literal, word-for-word, not interpretive (International admissions requirements).
Who may translate
Not stated (International admissions requirements).
Records
Secondary records should show a minimum 2.5 GPA; official transcripts may be scanned and sent by email (International admissions requirements).
Transfer (12+ college credits)
A course-by-course NACES member evaluation of transcripts from outside the US, showing at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA (International admissions requirements).
Translation for transfers
Simple translations of post-secondary transcripts will not be accepted; the evaluation is required (transfer students).
Financial
After admission, an official statement of financial resources; a sponsor who holds the account adds a letter (International admissions requirements).
Literal translations, official or not
UC's requirements for first-year students ask for official transcripts as well as an official English translation from every secondary school you attended, and a few lines later say that the English translations do not need to be official but should be literal, word-for-word rather than interpretive (international admissions).
The page does not explain what makes a translation "official".
A certified translation from a professional service is literal and carries a signed statement of accuracy, so it fits either reading; if you are unsure, ask the Office of Admissions before ordering.
Official transcripts may be scanned and submitted by email for the admission decision, and the records should show a minimum 2.5 GPA (International admissions requirements). Translate every year of the transcript, the grading scale and the high school diploma.
Transfer applicants: an evaluation, not a translation
Applicants with 12 or more college-level credits apply as transfers and need a course-by-course evaluation from a NACES member of every transcript from outside the US, with a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA (International admissions requirements).
The transfer page is explicit that simple translations will not be accepted (transfer students).
The translation then goes to the agency: WES wants a word-for-word translation by a professional translator, and ECE accepts any complete, word-for-word translation.
UC also lists an international transcript service that helps arrange the evaluation, with the report sent directly to UC (International admissions requirements).

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 University of Charleston
First-year applicants send the transcripts and their English translations with the application; scanned official transcripts may be emailed (International admissions requirements).
Transfer applicants send the translation with their records to the NACES agency, which sends the course-by-course evaluation to UC.
On request we can email the translation 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 the University of Charleston that means we translate your records; the NACES course-by-course evaluation transfer applicants need is ordered 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 UC need an official translation?
Its page asks for an official English translation and then says translations need not be official, only literal and word-for-word (International admissions requirements). A certified translation from a professional service such as eVerbary is both.
Can I email my transcripts?
Yes. Official transcripts may be scanned and submitted by email for the admission decision (International admissions requirements).
I have college credits from abroad. Is a translation enough?
No. Transfer applicants need a NACES course-by-course evaluation; simple translations will not be accepted (Transfer students).
Who counts as a transfer applicant?
Anyone with 12 or more college-level credits from another institution (International admissions requirements).
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.
