Waubonsee Community College asks international applicants for high school and college transcripts, and records that are not from a US school must be translated into English; the applicant may also be required to have them evaluated by a NACES member.
Waubonsee Community College accepts certified translations from professional services such as eVerbary. The NACES evaluation, which Waubonsee requires for any foreign college credit to transfer, comes from the agency, not from us.
Waubonsee at a glance
Does it accept eVerbary? Yes
Waubonsee's international student page says transcripts not from a US high school or college must be translated into English, without saying who translates (international students); a certified translation from a professional service such as eVerbary meets that. Policy checked on November 13, 2026.

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.

Waubonsee requirements in detail
Translation
Transcripts not from a US high school or college must be translated into English (International students).
Who may translate
Not stated; Waubonsee does not restrict who translates.
Evaluation for admission
May be required, at your expense, from a service recognized by NACES (International students).
Evaluation for transfer credit
Required: foreign college and university transcripts are reviewed by a NACES member, and you provide the official report (transfer credit).
How credit is given
Course by course, as Waubonsee equivalents or electives, grade D or better, up to 45 credits (Transferring credit to Waubonsee).
F-1 deadlines
July 1 for fall, November 1 for spring, April 1 for summer, application and all documents (International students).
A translation always, an evaluation when Waubonsee asks
For F-1 applicants Waubonsee separates the two: transcripts from outside the US must be translated into English, and the applicant "MAY" be required to submit them for evaluation by a credentials service recognized by NACES (international students).
Translate the high school and college records you list on the Educational Background form, and keep the evaluation in mind if the admissions advisor asks for it.
The application packet comes from the International Admissions Advisor. It also asks for a TOEFL score when English is not your native language and for an Affidavit of Support (I-134) completed by a US resident (International students).
Transfer credit from a college abroad
To get credit for college work done abroad, the evaluation is no longer optional: Waubonsee's transfer policy says transcripts from foreign colleges and universities must be reviewed by a NACES member and that you provide the official evaluation report (transfer credit).
Credit is awarded course by course as Waubonsee courses or electives, quarter hours are converted to semester hours, and the maximum is 45 credits.
Order the translation first and send it to the NACES agency with your transcripts; a course-by-course report fits a course-by-course review. Ask the agency what format it wants for the translation.
Need a certified translation for Waubonsee?
$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 and transcripts
- College or university transcripts, for transfer credit
- Degree certificates
- Bank statements for the affidavit of support, 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 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 Waubonsee
Send the translated transcripts with the Application for Status as International Student, which Waubonsee must receive with all supporting documents by the deadline (International students).
For transfer credit, the NACES report goes to the Registration and Records office (Transferring credit to Waubonsee).
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 Waubonsee that means we translate your records; the NACES evaluation for admission or transfer credit comes from an evaluation agency you choose.
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
Do I need an evaluation to apply to Waubonsee?
It may be required; Waubonsee says applicants may need a NACES evaluation at their own expense (International students).
Who can translate my transcripts?
Waubonsee does not say; it asks that they be translated into English. A certified translation from a professional service qualifies.
Can I transfer credits from a university abroad?
Yes, after a NACES evaluation, course by course, up to 45 credits (Transferring credit to Waubonsee).
What English score does Waubonsee ask for?
A TOEFL of 61 on the internet-based test, 173 computer-based or 500 paper-based (International students).
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.
