University of North Georgia: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Worth knowing about UNG

UNG requirements in detail

What the discounted agencies ask for the translation

ECE accepts complete, word-for-word translations in the same format as the original, including your own, and sells an $85 waiver under which it translates for its report only.

IEE wants a certified translator, not the applicant or a notary public. The Evaluation Company says an outside translator must be certified by the American Translators Association; eVerbary can assign one on request (see below).

Details UNG asks agencies to include

For high school, UNG wants a document-by-document report and says a GPA calculation is not required; the report goes straight from the agency to the Admissions Office (Undergraduate admissions: international students).

If you were taught in English abroad, ask the agency to note that the language of instruction was English. Translate the full high school diploma and grades before you open the agency file.

College work abroad needs a course-by-course report, and UNG decides transfer credit course by course. If you plan to major in Education, use one of the NACES organizations on the Georgia Professional Standards Commission (GaPSC) list (Undergraduate admissions: international students).

Documents applicants usually translate

• High school transcript or Certificate of Education
• High school diploma
• College or university transcripts, for the course-by-course evaluation
• Degree certificates

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 UNG

• The translation goes to the NACES or AICE agency with your records; the agency sends the evaluation directly to UNG's Undergraduate Admissions Office (Undergraduate admissions: international students).

• On request we can email the translation directly to the admissions office.

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:

To order it, ask for a free quote and write in the notes that the translation is for UNG, 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.

How to order

1. Scan or photograph every page of the document, front and back, including any stamps on the reverse.
2. Upload it, choose the language and "certified", and see the price before paying.
3. 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.
