UTC requirements in detail
Translation
Original-language documents plus a literal (word-for-word) translation that follows the original format (Academic documentation requirements for international graduate applicants).
Who may translate
The issuing institution, a certified translation agency, the Ministry of Education or equivalent, or an embassy (Academic documentation requirements for international graduate applicants).
Evaluation
UTC verifies documents and performs its own course-by-course analysis; it also endorses evaluations from IEE, WES, ECE and TEC, sent directly with official transcripts (Academic documentation requirements for international graduate applicants).
Delivery
Official documents by mail to Credential Evaluation Services; emailed documents can start the analysis, but a decision may wait for the mailed originals (Academic documentation requirements for international graduate applicants).
Degree certificate
Original or attested copy listing the degree name and conferral date; documents are not returned (Academic documentation requirements for international graduate applicants).
Undergraduate
US transcripts go electronically or sealed to Credential Evaluation Services, International Undergraduate Admissions (prospective students).
A literal translation in the original format
UTC's documentation rules for international applicants, published by the Center for Global Education, ask for official documents in the original language and a literal, word-for-word translation that follows the format of the original.
The translation may come from the issuing institution, a certified translation agency, the Ministry of Education or equivalent government body, or an embassy (Academic documentation requirements for international graduate applicants).
An eVerbary certified translation keeps the layout, stamps and order of the original.
UTC cannot verify documents that have been handled by the applicant or that arrive only by email; emailed copies may start the course-by-course analysis, but the admission decision can wait until the official documents arrive by mail (Academic documentation requirements for international graduate applicants).
UTC's own evaluation, or an endorsed agency
UTC performs its own course-by-course analysis to convert grades and credits, and also accepts evaluations by IEE, WES, ECE and The Evaluation Company when they come directly from the company together with the official transcripts; UTC keeps its own documentation rules alongside them (Academic documentation requirements for international graduate applicants).
If you attended an affiliated college but your degree comes from a university, the documents should come from the degree-granting university.
Translate the full high school diploma or degree records, and the degree certificate with its conferral date.

What an eVerbary translation includes

Uploading the translation to UTC
Mail the official documents and translations to Credential Evaluation Services, Center for Global Education, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Dept. 4755, Chattanooga (Academic documentation requirements for international graduate applicants).
Pay the application fee first; credentials are reviewed only after it (Academic documentation requirements for international graduate applicants).
On request we can email the translation directly to the admissions office; UTC may begin its review from emailed documents.
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 UTC that means we translate your records; if you choose a third-party evaluation from IEE, WES, ECE or TEC, it comes from that company.
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.
