Wingate University: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Worth knowing about Wingate

Wingate requirements in detail

Two companies, two jobs

Wingate is one of the few universities that separates the two steps on its page: it recommends World Education Services and SpanTran for evaluation, and University Language Services for translation (international admissions).

The recommendation is not a requirement, and the only condition stated is that translated and evaluated official final transcripts are in your file before you enroll. A certified translation from eVerbary covers the translation step.

If the same translation will go to the evaluator, check its rule: WES accepts a word-for-word translation by a professional translator or service, not by the applicant; SpanTran, now The Evaluation Company, accepts outside translations only from ATA-certified translators, which eVerbary can assign on request through a free quote.

Official records and bank statements

Your school, not you, emails the official high school transcript to internationaladmissions@wingate.edu, and Wingate keeps original documents as federal guidelines require (International admissions).

Send the certified translation with your application so the file is complete; the final translated and evaluated transcripts follow before enrollment.

For the I-20, bank statements must be recent, show the balance and be translated into English, and Wingate says unofficial translations are acceptable for them (International admissions).

So a certified translation is optional for the bank statement, though it keeps the whole file consistent.

Wingate Online applicants follow a different line: both high school and college transcripts are evaluated by a NACES member (Undergraduate admissions).

Documents applicants usually translate

• High school transcripts and final diploma
• College or university transcripts, for evaluation
• Bank statements, if not in English
• Loan or scholarship letters, 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 Wingate

• The school official emails the official transcript to internationaladmissions@wingate.edu; your certified translation and other documents go to the same office (International admissions). On request we can email the translation directly to the admissions office.

• After admission you complete the International Processing Form and pay the $100 processing fee (International admissions).

How to order

1. Scan or photograph every page of the document, front and back, including any stamps on the reverse.
2. Upload it, choose the language and "certified", and see the price before paying.
3. 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.
