What NYU Expects From a Certified Translation
NYU does not publish one translation rule for every school. The safe baseline is a complete English version of the original academic record, submitted together with the source-language document and without changing grades or the grading scale.
2
Original structure
Preserve tables, sequence, and grading scales. Tandon explicitly calls for the same format as the original.
3
Approved source
Use the translator or institution route published by your NYU school; self-translation is not a universal option.
Choose your New York University (NYU) school before submitting
The translation standard and the separate evaluation route are not identical across NYU.
School-by-school requirements
NYU Translation Requirements by School
Choose the row for your school and program level. The translation is the document service; a WES, ECE, TEC, or other NACES evaluation is a separate order only when that school requires it.
School-by-school translation and document route
Official instructions reviewed on August 14, 2026. Program-level instructions can override these school-level summaries.
1NYU Undergraduate Admissions
- Translation route
- Non-English official documents need an official English translation issued by a school official or an accredited translation agency in the institution’s country.
- Evaluation and timing
- Application copies may be uploaded. After admission, final graduation documents from high schools outside the U.S. go through NYU’s ECE authentication route.
2Steinhardt (Graduate)
- Translation route
- Upload the original transcript plus a certified or notarized English translation when the transcript is not issued in English.
- Evaluation and timing
- Course-by-course evaluation is generally required for degrees outside the U.S. or Canada. WES Basic is accepted; ICAP is required for transfer credit. ECE and TEC are also approved.
3Gallatin (MA)
- Translation route
- Submit the academic records required by the graduate application together with the applicable English translation.
- Evaluation and timing
- International applicants must submit either WES Course-by-Course ICAP or an ECE credential evaluation by the application deadline.
4Tisch (Graduate)
- Translation route
- Non-English final records require the original-language transcript and an English translation; Tisch accepts a certified translator route for official final documents.
- Evaluation and timing
- Applicants with degrees outside the U.S. or Canada generally need an evaluation from a NACES member sent directly to Tisch.
5School of Professional Studies
- Translation route
- Provide the transcript materials required by the application and an English translation when the academic record is not in English.
- Evaluation and timing
- A course-by-course evaluation is required when more than half of the academic program was completed at a foreign university. SPS accepts only its listed agencies, with direct delivery from the evaluator.
6Tandon (Graduate)
- Translation route
- Translation must be complete and literal, word-for-word and line-by-line, in the same format as the original, on organization or school letterhead, and signed or stamped.
- Evaluation and timing
- The institution, a consulate or embassy, or a professional certified/accredited agency may translate. Applicant and family translations are not accepted. Official records are required directly after admission.
7Wagner (Graduate)
- Translation route
- Applications with non-English transcripts include both the original record and its English translation.
- Evaluation and timing
- A NACES evaluation is required for most applicants whose bachelor’s degree is outside the U.S. or Canada. PhD applicants are excluded at application and may be asked after admission.
8Stern (MBA)
- Translation route
- Official non-English transcripts need the original record and English translation. Published options include an institution translation, WES, or a certified translation service.
- Evaluation and timing
- Follow the current Stern delivery instructions for the specific MBA program; official or sealed delivery rules can differ from the application upload stage.

How to Prepare Your Documents for NYU
Start with the exact NYU school and application stage. Then prepare the translation and follow any separate evaluator or official-sender route named by that school.
- Step 1
Identify your NYU school and program level
Use the table above and open the official source. Undergraduate, graduate, and admitted-student routes are not interchangeable.
- Step 2
Prepare the complete certified translation
Translate the full transcript, diploma, or academic record without converting grades. Keep the source document and translation together.
- Step 3
Arrange evaluation only when your school requires it
Order the exact report from the named evaluator, choose the correct NYU school as recipient, and follow the evaluator’s document-sender rules.
- Step 4
Use the correct application or final-document channel
Upload application copies where allowed. After admission, arrange direct institutional or translator delivery when the school requires official records.
Plan your document timeline
Translation timing is predictable. Evaluator and school processing depend on the route you need.
- 01
Translation
About 24 hours
For standard academic records.
- 02
Evaluation, if required
Allow additional time
Processing starts after the evaluator accepts all required documents.
- 03
Application
Confirm the exact deadline
Gallatin and other schools tie required materials to the application deadline.
Avoid These Errors
Common NYU Document Mistakes — and How to Avoid Them
Most avoidable problems come from using an NYU-wide assumption where a school-specific translation, evaluator, or delivery rule applies.
1Using the wrong school’s document route
What happens
The application can remain incomplete or the final record can be rejected as unofficial.
Why it happens
Applicants follow a general NYU page instead of Steinhardt, Gallatin, Tisch, SPS, Tandon, Wagner, or Stern instructions.
Safer approach
Confirm the school, program level, and application stage before preparing or sending the translation.
2Incomplete or reformatted translation
What happens
Admissions cannot match the translation to the original record or asks for a corrected version.
Why it happens
Courses, grading notes, reverse-side text, seals, or signatures are omitted, or the layout no longer follows the source.
Safer approach
Translate the complete record and preserve its sequence, tables, grading scale, seals, stamps, and signatures.
3Wrong evaluator, report, or recipient
What happens
The school does not receive an acceptable report, even though an evaluation was purchased.
Why it happens
Gallatin, Steinhardt, SPS, Tisch, and Wagner publish different provider, report, or delivery rules.
Safer approach
Order only after checking the current school source and select the exact school or division as the report recipient.
4Applicant-sent “official” documents
What happens
A document used for application review is not accepted as the final official transcript after admission.
Why it happens
Applicants assume an uploaded scan remains official for enrollment purposes.
Safer approach
Treat application upload and final official delivery as separate stages; arrange direct sending when required.

Common Questions About NYU Translation Requirements
Does NYU accept certified translations?
Yes, NYU schools accept English translations from approved sources, but the accepted source and delivery route vary. Tandon accepts a professional certified or accredited agency. NYU Undergraduate Admissions permits a school official or an accredited translation agency in the institution’s country. Tisch, Wagner, and Stern publish their own official-document routes.
Does NYU require WES evaluation?
There is no NYU-wide WES rule. Steinhardt accepts WES, ECE, or TEC and prefers WES. Gallatin requires WES Course-by-Course ICAP or ECE. Tisch accepts a NACES-member evaluation. SPS and Wagner publish different eligibility and provider rules. Check the exact school before ordering.
Can I translate my own documents for NYU?
Do not assume self-translation is accepted. Tandon expressly excludes the applicant and family members. Other schools may require a school official, the issuing institution, a certified translator, or an approved translation agency. Use the route published by your program.
What translation format does NYU Tandon require?
Tandon requires a complete and literal word-for-word and line-by-line English translation, prepared in the same format as the original, typed on organization or school letterhead, and signed or stamped by an approved translator.
What evaluation does NYU Gallatin require?
Gallatin’s graduate admissions requirements name either a WES Course-by-Course ICAP Credential Evaluation or an ECE Credential Evaluation Report for international students. Required credentials and application materials are due by the applicable application deadline.
Does NYU Steinhardt require WES ICAP?
Steinhardt accepts the WES Basic Course-by-Course evaluation for admission. ICAP Course-by-Course is required if you intend to transfer credits. ECE Course-by-Course and TEC are also approved, while applicants with three-year international degrees or credentials from India are strongly encouraged to use WES.
Can I use the same translation for NYU and an evaluator?
Often, but not automatically. A complete certified translation may be reusable, while WES, ECE, TEC, or another evaluator can impose separate country-specific sender and document rules. Confirm the evaluator’s instructions before submitting.
When do official transcripts have to be sent to NYU?
Timing depends on the school and stage. Many programs allow uploaded copies for application review and require official records after admission. Tandon, Tisch, Stern, and other schools publish direct-sender or sealed-delivery rules for final documents, so an applicant upload should not be assumed to satisfy enrollment requirements.
