Requirements checked on November 13, 2026 from Urban College's public pages (sources).
Urban College of Boston asks that all admission documents be in English or come with a certified translation, and that transcripts from outside the US be translated into English and evaluated for equivalency before they count for admission or transfer credit.
Urban College of Boston accepts certified translations from professional services such as eVerbary. The equivalency evaluation comes from an agency such as Scholaro, CED, WES or ECE, which we do not provide.

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.

Urban College requirements in detail
Translation
All documentation in English or with a certified translation; foreign transcripts translated into English and evaluated (catalog).
Who may translate
The consulate or embassy of the issuing country, a translation agency or certified translator, an immigrant or refugee association, the school, or a US faculty member (Urban College catalog 2026-2027: admissions).
Not accepted
Translations by the student, family members or anyone not affiliated with those organizations (Urban College catalog 2026-2027: admissions).
Format
Complete and literal, same format as the original, typed on letterhead, signed by a neutral third-party translator attesting familiarity with the language (Urban College catalog 2026-2027: admissions).
Evaluation
Equivalency evaluation for admission or transfer credit; agencies listed: Scholaro, CED, WES, ECE (Urban College catalog 2026-2027: admissions).
What you submit
The original document and the official English translation and/or evaluation; applicants upload a copy of the diploma and photo ID (Urban College catalog 2026-2027: admissions, admissions).
Who may translate, and how
Urban College is an open-enrollment college that teaches and supports students in English, Spanish and Mandarin, and its catalog spells out its translation rules in detail.
Accepted sources of official translations are the consulate or embassy of the issuing country, a translation agency or certified translator, an immigrant or refugee association in the US that represents that country, an authorized representative of your school, or a faculty member of a US high school, college or university who states institution, department and rank. You and your family members may not translate.
The translation itself must be complete and literal, word for word, with no attempt to interpret or evaluate the credential; in the same format as the original; typed on business or school letterhead; and signed by a neutral third-party translator attesting familiarity with the language.
Translation plus an equivalency evaluation
For transcripts from non-US countries, a translation is not the last step: they must also be evaluated for equivalency with US standards before the Office of Registration Services accepts them as official for admission or transfer credit.
The catalog names Scholaro, CED, WES and ECE as agencies that provide these evaluations, for a fee, and the college decides whether the translations and evaluations you submit are complete (Urban College catalog 2026-2027: admissions).
Even transcripts from US-accredited institutions must be translated if they are not in English.
If a translation is still missing, Urban College may accept you conditionally into open programs, with a letter listing what is missing and a deadline (conditional acceptance). For the diploma itself, see high school diploma translation.

$24.95 per page with no word cap, certification included, usually within 24 hours for one to three pages. See the price before you pay.
Documents applicants usually translate
- High school diploma or equivalency certificate
- High school transcripts
- College transcripts, for transfer credit
- GCE or CXC certificates (British-system schooling)
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 Urban College
Upload the original document and the certified translation in the online application, or email them to admissions@urbancollege.edu (admissions). The evaluation agency sends or gives you the equivalency report, which also goes to the college (Urban College catalog 2026-2027: admissions).
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 Urban College that means we translate your diploma and transcripts; the equivalency evaluation comes from Scholaro, CED, WES, ECE or another agency, ordered by you.
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.
