University of Redlands, Los Angeles (formerly Woodbury University): Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Worth knowing about Woodbury (URLA)

Woodbury (URLA) requirements in detail

Translation and evaluation, both

The same sentence appears for first-year, transfer and graduate applicants on URLA's undergraduate and graduate pages: submit official transcripts along with certified English translations for all non-English documents, and a course-by-course foreign credential evaluation from a NACES-approved organization, completed and submitted by the applicant.

So you translate once and use the translation twice: with your transcripts for the admission file, and with your records for the NACES agency, which sets its own rule; WES, for example, accepts translations by professional services and not by applicants.

First-year applicants send high school transcripts that include 11th grade and a final transcript showing graduation before enrollment; transfer applicants, with at least 24 transferable units, send all college transcripts and, without an associate degree, high school records too (International undergraduate applicants). For the school record, see high school diploma translation.

Woodbury is now URLA

Woodbury University in Burbank now operates as the University of Redlands, Los Angeles.

Undergraduates apply through the URLA application or the Common App and mail official records to the Burbank admissions office; graduate applicants apply through the University of Redlands portal, and mailed transcripts go to Graduate and Professional Enrollment in Redlands (International graduate applicants).

Graduate admission is rolling. Design programs such as Animation and VFX, Fashion Design and Game Art ask for a portfolio, and the architecture master's is on ArchCAS (undergraduate, graduate).

After admission, the I-20 needs a passport copy and an original bank statement on letterhead issued no earlier than six months before enrollment; students changing from F-2 to F-1 add a marriage certificate translated into English (admission, student services).

Documents applicants usually translate

• High school transcripts and diploma
• College or university transcripts
• Bank statement on bank letterhead
• Marriage certificate, for an F-2 to F-1 change

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 Woodbury (URLA)

• Upload the transcripts and their certified translations to the URLA application for review; official transcripts follow from the school electronically or by sealed mail (International undergraduate applicants).

• Send the same translation to the NACES agency with your records; you submit the course-by-course evaluation it produces (International undergraduate applicants).

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.
