Where it gets filed

The document evaluations are actually built from.

The diploma gets framed, but the transcript does the work: course-by-course evaluations, transfer credit, licensing eligibility, and admissions decisions are all computed from it. That makes it the least forgiving academic document to translate — every line feeds a calculation.

Course-by-course evaluations

WES-style evaluations convert each course and grade into US terms. They can only be as accurate as the translation they read — which is why evaluators insist on certified, complete renderings.

Admissions and transfer credit

Registrars deciding transfer credit match your courses against their catalog. Precise course titles are the difference between credit granted and credit lost.

Licensing boards

Nursing, engineering, and teaching boards audit coursework hours against their requirements. The translation preserves contact hours and credits exactly as the transcript states them.

Immigration petitions

Degree-based petitions sometimes need the coursework behind the credential. A certified transcript translation closes the loop between diploma, evaluation, and petition.

What gets translated

Every line feeds a calculation.

A transcript is a data table wearing prose. The translation treats it that way: nothing rounded, nothing averaged, nothing helpfully converted.

Grading scale, as issued

Your institution’s scale translated exactly as defined — never converted to a GPA, because conversion is the evaluator’s job and doing it for them voids the document.

Course titles, precisely

Rendered accurately enough for a registrar to match against a catalog — the difference between transfer credit and starting over.

Credits and contact hours

Units, hours, and totals carried across exactly, in the system the transcript uses.

The grading key on the back

The legend explaining the scale usually lives on the reverse side. It is part of the document and part of every order.

Registrar stamps and signatures

The marks that make it official, described in place — evaluators check for them.

Consistent with your diploma

Institution names, program names, and your name locked to the same renderings used across your academic file.

Before you order

Official copy or portal printout — evaluators can tell.

Evaluators and registrars distinguish sharply between records issued by the institution and records printed by the student. Translating the wrong one is the most common reason an evaluation stalls at intake.

What evaluators mean by “official”

The document to translate. If yours is sealed in an envelope, scan it the way your evaluator instructs before breaking the seal — their rules on this vary.

Student portal printout

Often refused
Shows your courses and grades
Registrar stamp or signature
Official grading key
Fine for planning, weak for filing

Useful to preview your record, rarely accepted as the record. If the printout is all you have, request an official copy first — then translate once.

How it works

Upload to evaluation-ready — usually overnight.

Photograph or scan it

Take a clear photo or scan of your transcript and upload it. The word count and the exact total show before you pay — no account needed.

A specialist linguist takes it

Your file goes to a native speaker who works with this document type every week and knows its stamps, layouts, and abbreviations on sight.

Reviewed, then certified

A second linguist checks names, dates, numbers, and layout against the original. Only then is the Certificate of Accuracy signed.

Delivered as one PDF

Translation, certificate, and a copy of the source in a single file — ready to attach to your filing or forward to whoever asked for it.

Starting at$24.95

Pricing is by word count, so a one-page grade sheet and a six-semester transcript each cost what they actually contain. Upload it and the exact total shows before you pay.

FAQ

The questions that actually come up.

The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.

Can't find it here?

01Do you convert my grades into a US GPA?

No — and evaluators specifically do not want us to. The translation renders your grades and grading scale exactly as your institution defines them; the evaluator then applies their own conversion methodology. A translation with a homemade GPA on it reads as tampering.

02Will WES accept the translation?

Yes. WES and similar services receive a complete certified translation with a signed Certificate of Accuracy, grading key included. Check your evaluator’s submission rules — some want documents sent by the university — and scope the translation to match.

03My transcript uses a 20-point scale with words like “notable.” How is that handled?

The scale is translated as defined, including the qualitative labels, and the official grading key from the transcript is translated with it. That combination lets the evaluator see both the number and what your institution says the number means.

04Some course titles are abbreviations. Do you expand them?

Where the transcript or its key defines the abbreviation, we expand it per that definition. Where it does not, the abbreviation is preserved with a translator’s note rather than guessed into a course you may never have taken.

05How is the price calculated?

By word count. Upload the transcript, we count the words, and the exact total shows before you pay — starting at $24.95. Dense multi-year transcripts cost what their content justifies, not a flat per-page fiction.

06How fast can I get it for an application deadline?

Most transcripts are delivered within 24 to 48 hours depending on length, and rush delivery is available. The quote commits to a delivery time before you pay — if a deadline is close, tell us and we schedule against it.
