Auburn University at Montgomery: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language
Auburn University at Montgomery asks international undergraduate and graduate applicants for official transcripts sent directly by each school, plus an official English translation of any transcript not in English, and its catalog says the translation must come from an official translation service. Auburn University at Montgomery accepts certified translations from professional services such as eVerbary. The catalog also calls for a transcript evaluation by a recognized expert service or a qualified AUM evaluator, which we do not provide.
Official translation service
Named in the catalog for every non-English transcript.
Straight from the school
Transcripts mailed or e-mailed to AUM by each institution.
No application fee
For international students; digital I-20 in the application.

The catalog adds an evaluation step
AUM's website requirement lists are short: application, passport, the transcript sent by your school with an official English translation, English test and financial documents. The catalog's international section goes further. It says transcripts not in English must be translated by an official translation service, and that a transcript evaluation is required, done by a recognized, expert service or by qualified AUM staff in foreign credential evaluation.
For first-time freshmen that evaluation is document-by-document and must show at least a 2.3 GPA on a 4.0 scale. International transfer students need a course-by-course evaluation showing at least a 2.0. Students in programs under a contract between AUM and a foreign government, institution or agency are exempt. AUM's FAQ puts undergraduate processing at 5 to 8 business days and graduate processing at 2 to 3 weeks once every transcript, score, certificate or evaluation has arrived (FAQ).
Graduate applicants: transcripts from each school, never uploaded
The graduate requirements ask for an official transcript from each university you attended, mailed or e-mailed to AUM by that institution, plus official English translations where needed. Graduate Admissions prefers electronic delivery and says official transcripts are sent to its office, not uploaded through the application portal; for a transcript to count as official it must reach AUM from the school through a delivery service.
Programs add their own tests: the College of Business requires the GMAT, and the Colleges of Education, Public Policy and Justice, and Arts and Sciences require the GRE or the Miller Analogies Test, with scores sent by the testing agency. The catalog asks graduate applications to arrive four weeks before the semester unless a program sets an earlier date (catalog).
Where AUM's pages differ
The website lists mention only an official English translation and no evaluation, while the catalog requires both an official translation service and a transcript evaluation. The website gives application dates (July 15, November 15, April 15); the catalog asks for every document 45 days before the term. The catalog also lists transfer students with 24 US semester hours both as needing a course-by-course evaluation and as an exception. We have not resolved these differences; the Office of Global Initiatives at global@aum.edu can say which applies to you.
Documents applicants usually translate
- High school transcripts and diplomas
- University transcripts from each school attended, for graduate or transfer applicants
- Bank statements, which AUM asks for in English
- The sponsor letter or Affidavit of Support, if it is not written in English
What an eVerbary translation includes
- A complete English translation of every page, stamps, seals and handwritten notes included, laid out like the original so each line can be matched.
- Grades exactly as recorded, with the grading scale the document prints. We never convert marks to a US GPA.
- A signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead, with our contact details, delivered as a PDF you can upload.
- $24.95 per page of up to 250 words, certification included; 24 hours for one to three pages as standard. Regular clients who need it can get delivery in as little as 30 minutes, on request.
Uploading the translation to AUM
Your school sends the official transcript to the Office of Global Initiatives by post, courier or email; send the official English translation to the same office, at P.O. Box 244023, Montgomery, AL 36124-4023, or global@aum.edu (source).
Graduate applicants have each university send its transcript, preferably electronically, to AUM; do not upload transcripts through the application portal (source).
What we do not do
eVerbary is a translation service, not a credential evaluation service: we do not issue evaluations, US equivalencies or GPA conversions, and we cannot send documents on behalf of the school that issued them. For AUM that means we translate your transcripts and diplomas; the evaluation the catalog describes comes from an evaluation service or AUM staff.

Frequently asked questions
Who can translate my transcripts for AUM?
AUM's catalog says transcripts not in English must be translated by an official translation service (source). A certified translation from a professional service such as eVerbary qualifies.
Do I need a credential evaluation for AUM?
The catalog asks for one, document-by-document for freshmen and course-by-course for transfers, by a recognized expert service or qualified AUM staff (source). The website lists do not mention it, so confirm with global@aum.edu.
Can I upload my graduate transcripts?
No. Graduate Admissions wants official transcripts sent by each institution, preferably electronically, and not uploaded through the portal (source).
Is there an application fee for international students?
No. AUM charges no application fee for international students; a $100 I-20 processing fee is due after acceptance (source).
Does my bank statement need to be in English?
Yes. AUM asks for a bank statement and/or sponsor letter in English (source). A translated bank statement page costs the same per page.
Will eVerbary convert my grades to a US GPA?
No. The translation reproduces the grades and the grading scale exactly as they appear. A GPA conversion is credential evaluation, which the institution or an evaluation agency does.
