University of New Haven: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language
The University of New Haven asks undergraduate first-year and transfer applicants whose transcripts are not in English to send them with a certified evaluation from one of its listed credential evaluation agencies, for admission and, course by course, for transfer credit. New Haven's evaluation agencies, such as WES and ECE, accept certified translations from professional services such as eVerbary. You order the translation first and send it to the agency with your records; the agency then evaluates them. If you choose The Evaluation Company, it takes outside translations only from ATA-certified translators, which eVerbary can assign on request.
Evaluation, not translation
Non-English transcripts go with a certified agency evaluation.
Three named agencies
WES, ECE and The Evaluation Company.
Graduate: WES for some
Indian three-year degrees and Nutrition Sciences.

What each evaluation agency asks for the translation
WES asks for an exact, word-for-word translation by a professional translator, such as a certified translation agency, and does not accept translations made by applicants (WES). ECE accepts a complete, literal, word-for-word translation in the same format as the original and lets applicants translate their own documents; it also sells an $85 waiver under which it translates for its report only, without giving you a translation you can reuse (ECE).
The Evaluation Company (formerly SpanTran) says an outside translator must be certified by the American Translators Association, or you can order its own translation after your evaluation application is complete (TEC); another of its pages mentions "a certified translator" or ATA members more broadly (TEC). If you choose TEC, see the ATA section below.
Four agencies announced, three named
New Haven's first-year and transfer pages introduce "4 professional credential evaluation agencies" and then list World Education Services, Educational Credential Evaluators, The Evaluation Company and World Education Services again (first-year, transfer). On the first-year page, that second WES entry links to the website of One Earth International Credential Evaluators, which accepts literal translations made by the applicant in most cases (One Earth).
We have not resolved this for you. If you want to use an agency other than WES, ECE or TEC, ask International Undergraduate Admissions first whether it accepts that agency's report.
Graduate applicants: transcripts "in English"
The graduate checklist does not mention translations or evaluators for most programs: it asks for transcripts "in English" from every college attended, mailed in sealed envelopes before classes start, with unofficial uploads allowed for initial review (International graduate application requirements). It does not say who may make the English version, so ask International Graduate Admissions before you order.
Two groups need a WES course-by-course evaluation: applicants with a three-year bachelor's degree from India, and all applicants to the M.S. in Nutrition Sciences (International graduate application requirements). Applicants from India must also send semester-by-semester mark sheets; consolidated mark sheets alone are not accepted.
Documents applicants usually translate
- Secondary school transcripts, mark sheets, final exam results and diplomas
- Leaving certificates and national exams, such as SSC, HSC, WAEC or the baccalaureate
- University transcripts and degree certificates, for a course-by-course evaluation
- The grading-scale explanation printed on the back or last page of a transcript
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 New Haven
For undergraduate records the translation goes to the evaluation agency with your documents (WES, for example, takes uploads in your WES account: WES: translation requirements). You then send the certified evaluation with your transcripts to New Haven by email to IntUGAdm@newhaven.edu or by courier (International first-year admission requirements).
Graduate applicants upload unofficial documents in the online application for the first review and mail official ones in sealed envelopes before classes start (International graduate application requirements).
If you need a translator certified by ATA
Some offices accept only a translator who is personally certified by the American Translators Association (ATA). eVerbary assigns one on request, for the languages ATA certifies into English: Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Chinese, Arabic, Russian and Ukrainian at $34.95 per page, and Japanese, Korean, Polish, Dutch, Swedish, Croatian, Danish and Persian at $44.95 per page.
To order it, ask for a free quote and write in the notes that the translation is for New Haven, which program it is for, and that you need a translator individually certified by ATA, plus anything else the office asks for (notarization, delivery by email to the office). We confirm the price and the translator before you pay. ATA does not certify other languages into English, so no translator anywhere holds ATA certification for them. For those languages we provide a notarized certified translation instead, at $44.95 per page plus notarization ($34.90 per order); ask the office to confirm it accepts that, and write its answer in the quote notes.
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 New Haven that means we translate your transcripts and diplomas; the certified evaluation from WES, ECE or The Evaluation Company 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 New Haven need a translation of my transcripts?
For undergraduate admission it asks for a certified evaluation from a listed agency for transcripts not in English (International first-year admission requirements). The agency needs the translation under its own rules: WES, for example, wants a professional one (WES: translation requirements).
Which agency should I choose?
New Haven names WES, ECE and The Evaluation Company (International first-year admission requirements). If you are applying to a graduate program, WES is the agency it names for Indian three-year degrees and the M.S. in Nutrition Sciences (International graduate application requirements).
Do I need a course-by-course evaluation as a transfer student?
Yes, if you want credit for college courses taken outside the US: New Haven asks for a comprehensive course-by-course evaluation with GPA (International transfer admission requirements).
Can Chinese applicants skip the evaluation?
New Haven strongly encourages Chinese applicants to verify transcripts through CQV and send the verification with them (International first-year admission requirements); the page does not say this replaces the evaluation for transcripts not in English.
Can eVerbary provide an ATA-certified translator for New Haven?
Yes, on request, for example if you use The Evaluation Company. Ask for a free quote and write in the notes that the translation is for a TEC evaluation for New Haven and needs a translator individually certified by ATA. ATA certifies Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Chinese, Arabic, Russian and Ukrainian ($34.95 per page) and Japanese, Korean, Polish, Dutch, Swedish, Croatian, Danish and Persian ($44.95 per page) into English; no other languages.
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.
