French Transcript Translation

French metropolitan transcripts (relevés de notes) follow the LMD framework with grades on a 0–20 scale, ECTS credit allocations, and semester or annual course groupings. Newer records tend to be digitally formatted, while older transcripts may be typed or handwritten. Diploma supplements with ECTS summaries may accompany the transcript.

These records are the most common French academic documents translated for WES, ECE, and university admissions. France is a Hague Apostille Convention member. We reproduce every course title, grade, credit value, and session label exactly as printed so the evaluator can map the student’s progression accurately.

Haitian transcripts may follow formats influenced by the French academic tradition but with institutional terminology and grading conventions adapted to the Haitian education system. Older records may be handwritten, carry institutional stamps, or use grade formats that predate LMD adoption.

We translate the full record, preserve institutional references and grading data, and handle handwritten entries carefully. When scan quality is borderline, we request a better image before certifying the transcript.

Cameroonian transcripts may be issued in French, English, or bilingually depending on the region and institution. French-language records use grading and credit systems adapted to the Cameroonian education structure, which may differ from metropolitan French conventions.

We translate all French-language content and flag bilingual elements. When the transcript includes both language columns, we ensure the translation covers all material French content so the evaluator has a complete record of the student’s academic history.

Senegalese transcripts typically use the LMD system with French as the language of instruction. Course titles, grading scales, and institutional terminology reflect the Senegalese higher-education structure, which may include institution-specific labels not found on French metropolitan records.

We preserve the course data, grading information, and institutional references exactly as issued so the evaluator sees the actual academic record from the Senegalese system.

Quebec transcripts come from universités and cégeps and use grading conventions specific to the Quebec education system, which differ from both French and other Canadian systems. Letter grades, GPA scales, and course structures may follow Quebec-specific standards.

Canada is a Hague Apostille Convention member. We preserve Quebec-specific grading conventions and course labels so the English translation reflects the actual issuing system. A cégep transcript carries different academic meaning from a university relevé de notes, and the translation must maintain that distinction.
