What is the difference between a transcript translation and a transcript evaluation?

A 'transcript translation' is an official word-for-word translation of certificates from the original language into English.

In a transcript evaluation, your official grades are converted into the American grading system.

Colleges need this system in order to be able to evaluate your grades according to the American grading system.

Tip:

If you need a certificate translation, we can have all your certificates translated for a fee. Please contact your Admission Specialists about this.
