Translations must be obtained from an approved NACES or AICE-accredited translation service.

Official transcripts from all previously attended colleges or universities must be sent directly to Eastern Arizona College. If the transcripts are in a language other than English, an official translation from a NACES or AICE-accredited service is required.
