Some students who feel that they are not being challenged enough in the college they are attending may decide to transfer to another school. Transferring to an academic institution in a different country will certainly be challenging as you have to adapt to a new lifestyle and culture as you tackle courses in a foreign language. Those who are heading to the United States should be aware that many universities are asking applicants to submit the evaluations of their transcripts. International students should seek certified translation services prior to contacting transcript evaluation agencies because they usually do not offer translations services. They expect the documents to be translated into the English language before they are submitted for evaluation. Even the ones that also offer translation services would probably prefer to have the English translations because translating academic documents is not their core competency.
California Center for Translation & Interpretation aims to satisfy the needs of international students. Several community colleges and 4-year universities in the city of Chico as well as other cities across the United States receive applications from foreign candidates. We recognize the difficulty transcripts create for American schools that try to determine what courses completed abroad are equivalent to the ones they offer on campus. Hence, we do everything we can to translate academic documents accurately, trying to make the process simpler for the students and the school. When international students ask us for certified translations we always attach our official certification to the translated documents. Our translators who handle the translations of diplomas, transcripts, and student ID cards understand that your academic documents are very important.
They want the translation of your academic documents to be complete, accurate, and presentable. If you wish to send the certified translation of your academic documents to a degree evaluation agency or directly to a college please provide their mailing address and we will be sure to send them the hard copies. We usually send translations through regular mail. You can ask us about overnight shipping. Alternatively, we can mail you the translated document and you can forward it to a third party. We can prepare several hard copies for you upon request. Please let us know if you would like additional copies of the certified translations. We would be happy to answer any questions you might have about our certified translation services. Please contact us for more information or to get a quote.
