Evaluation
All international applicants submit an evaluation showing the US equivalent of coursework taken outside the US, from a current NACES member; SpanTran Pathways, WES and ECE are named (International admissions).

Where documents go

A certified translation and a NACES evaluation
Bowie State asks for both, at the undergraduate and graduate level: a certified English translation of any document in another language, and an evaluation of foreign credentials from a current NACES member (international admissions).
The same certified translation can go to Bowie State and to the agency.
WES accepts a word-for-word translation from a professional service; ECE accepts a complete, literal translation or sells an $85 waiver; SpanTran, now The Evaluation Company, accepts outside translators only if certified by ATA, which eVerbary provides on request.
Deadlines with a month for documents
Applicants outside the US who apply by June 1 for fall have until June 30 to send supporting documents; transfers already in the US who apply by July 1 have until July 31. Spring is stricter: everything by November 1 from abroad, or December 15 for transfers in the US (International admissions).
Need a certified translation for Bowie State?
$24.95 per page of up to 250 words, certification included, usually within 24 hours for one to three pages. See the price before you pay.
Documents applicants usually translate
- Secondary school transcripts and diploma
- University transcripts and degree certificates
- Grading scale printed on the transcript
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 Bowie State
Email the certified translations to admissionsdocs@bowiestate.edu (undergraduate) or gradadmissions@bowiestate.edu (graduate), or mail them to the Office of Admissions (International admissions).
The NACES agency sends its evaluation separately; we can also email the translation directly to Bowie State on request.
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 Bowie State that means we translate your records; the NACES evaluation is ordered by you from the agency.
How to order
- Scan or photograph every page of the document, front and back, including any stamps on the reverse.
- Upload it, choose the language and "certified", and see the price before paying.
- Receive the PDF, usually within 24 hours for one to three pages, and upload it with the copy of the original wherever the institution asks for it.
Frequently asked questions
Does Bowie State accept a translation from a translation company?
Bowie State asks for a certified English translation and does not say who must make it (International admissions). A certified translation from a professional service such as eVerbary meets that wording.
Do I also need a credential evaluation?
Yes. All international applicants submit a NACES evaluation of coursework taken outside the US (International admissions).
Which agencies does Bowie State accept?
Any current NACES member; SpanTran Pathways, WES and ECE are named (International admissions).
When are the deadlines?
From outside the US: June 1 (documents by June 30) for fall and November 1 for spring; transfers in the US: July 1 (documents by July 31) and December 15 (International admissions).
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.
