All transcripts must be sent in English in order to be evaluated. Trevecca accepts international transcript evaluations from any of the NACES-approved organizations. If you have not yet ordered an evaluation and you need to, we recommend using SpanTran, as they have built a portal for Trevecca applications that is beneficial for students who wish to track the progress of their evaluation.
