Westminster requirements in detail
Translation
Westminster states no translation rule for degree applicants; records from abroad reach it through a NACES evaluation. The translation is what the agency needs before it can evaluate a document not in English.
Who may translate
Set by the evaluation agency (see below).
Evaluation
Transfer and graduate applicants upload university transcripts from outside the US and order a course-by-course evaluation from a NACES-approved organization (Westminster University: international admissions).
Discount
The Evaluation Company (formerly SpanTran) has a custom Westminster application at a discounted rate (Westminster University: international admissions).
First-year
A high school transcript; no evaluation is listed for first-year applicants (Westminster University: international admissions).
Exchange students
Official transcripts in English or with an official English translation (Westminster University: international admissions).
What each evaluation agency asks for the translation
Westminster accepts any NACES member and points to TEC's discounted application (international admissions).
The Evaluation Company asks for an outside translator certified by the American Translators Association, or translates through its own team; for TEC, eVerbary can assign an ATA-certified translator through a free quote, for the languages ATA certifies.
If you choose another NACES member: WES wants a word-for-word translation by a professional translator or service and not the applicant; ECE accepts complete, literal translations in the original's format, lets applicants translate themselves, and sells an $85 Translation Waiver.
Who needs an evaluation, and who does not
The course-by-course evaluation is for transfer and graduate applicants with university study outside the US; students from English-speaking universities or colleges in Canada skip it (Westminster University: international admissions).
First-year applicants submit a high school transcript. Exchange students, who are nominated by their home institution, upload official transcripts in English or with an official English translation to the exchange application.
Need a certified translation for Westminster?
$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
- University transcripts, for the course-by-course evaluation
- Degree certificates, for a graduate program
- High school transcript, for first-year applicants
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 Westminster
Upload your university transcript to Westminster's application portal and send it, with the translation, to the NACES agency; the agency sends the evaluation to Westminster (Westminster University: international 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 Westminster that means we translate your records for the agency; the NACES course-by-course evaluation is ordered by you, for example through TEC's Westminster application.
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
Does Westminster University require a certified translation?
Westminster itself publishes no translation rule for degree applicants; it requires a NACES course-by-course evaluation of university records from abroad (Westminster University: international admissions), and the agency sets the translation rule.
Can I use an eVerbary translation with TEC?
TEC asks for an outside translator certified by ATA (TEC). eVerbary can provide one through a free quote, for Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Chinese, Arabic, Russian and Ukrainian ($34.95 per page) or Japanese, Korean, Polish, Dutch, Swedish, Croatian, Danish and Persian ($44.95 per page).
Do Canadian applicants need an evaluation?
Not if they attended an English-speaking university or college in Canada (Westminster University: international admissions).
What do exchange students send?
Official transcripts in English or with an official English translation (Westminster University: international admissions).
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.
