What NACES agencies ask for the translation
Any NACES member works for Valdosta State, so the agency's translation rule applies. WES wants an exact, word-for-word translation by a professional translator and rejects translations by applicants.
ECE accepts complete, word-for-word translations in the original format, including your own.
The Evaluation Company, which Valdosta State links with a discount, says an outside translator must be certified by the American Translators Association; eVerbary can assign one on request (see below).
Early deadlines and sealed records
Valdosta State's international deadlines are early: April 1 for fall, August 1 for spring and February 1 for summer, for the application and every required document, including the evaluation (Undergraduate admissions: international students).
Only sealed, official records are accepted. Translate the high school diploma, transcripts and any college records first, so the agency can finish before the deadline.
Need a certified translation for Valdosta State?
$24.95 per page of up to 250 words, certification included, usually within 24 hours for one to three pages. See the price before you pay.
Documents applicants usually translate
- High school transcripts and diploma
- College or university transcripts
- Degree certificates
- Bank documents for the certificate of finances, if not in English
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 Valdosta State
The translation goes to the NACES agency with your records; the agency sends its evaluation to Valdosta State's Office of Admissions (Undergraduate admissions: international students).
Passport and visa copies go by email to admissions@valdosta.edu (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:
$34.95 per page
Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Chinese, Arabic, Russian and Ukrainian
$44.95 per page
Japanese, Korean, Polish, Dutch, Swedish, Croatian, Danish and Persian
To order it, ask for a free quote and write in the notes that the translation is for Valdosta State, 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 Valdosta State that means we translate your records; the NACES evaluation is ordered by you 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.
