We require that native language transcripts be sent directly to LSAC from the university in a sealed university envelope with a stamp or seal across the flap. It can be a copy that has been certified by the university but it must be received in the manner described.
We do not require translations to be certified. Any one may complete them including you and can be sent separate from the transcript if necessary by fax or email.
We report your grade average in the indigenous scale and suggest a US comparable grade. We do not convert the native grade average into a US GPA.
The evaluation process takes about 2-3 weeks depending on the time of year and if any additional documents are needed. It is likely that your evaluation will be completed by November but I can not guarantee it.
Yes, you can have your university include a statement of your expected graduation date.
Sincerely,
Heidi Fox
Manager, LLM Credential Assembly Service

Subject: Questions about transcript
Hello,
I am a student from China.
1) I am wondering if my university can offer me only one official transcript in Chinese. Shall I send you an sealed copy of that official transcript for evaluating?
2) Whether the translation of transcript needed to be sealed?
3) The advisor told me that the administrative office provides students with transcript including both GPA(4.0 is the highest) and scores. Also, explanation of calculating is printed at the bottom of the paper. Then will you give me an GPA based or something else based evaluation?
4) If I send out the documents to you on Oct 1 via express, can you finish the work before November?
5) I will be awarded my first law diploma in June 2013. Should I send you an official statement issued by administrative office that I will earn my degree by that time?
