Fitchburg State requirements in detail
Translation
No rule of its own; Fitchburg State suggests asking the agencies whether they translate (International admissions).
Who may translate
Set by the evaluation agency: ECE and WES accept professional translations; TEC asks for an ATA-certified translator.
Evaluation
Course-by-course for all transcripts: TEC course analysis, WES ICAP course-by-course, or ECE course-by-course (International admissions).
Transcripts
The agency provides Fitchburg State with an official copy; otherwise the school must email it from its own domain (International admissions).
Graduate
The evaluation must show a degree equivalent to a regionally accredited US bachelor's; only the MBA and MS in Computer Science take F-1 students (International admissions).
Deadlines
Fall: May 1 from abroad, July 1 for F-1 transfers in the US (graduate June 1 and August 1); spring: November 1, or December 1 for transfers in the US (International admissions).
Pick the agency before the translation
Fitchburg State lists exactly three agencies, and the choice depends on who you are: first-year applicants choose between TEC, through a custom Fitchburg State application at a discount, and ECE; WES is only for transfer and graduate applicants (international admissions).
The page tells applicants who need translations to ask the agencies whether they provide them; it does not require the agency to translate.
ECE asks for complete, word-for-word translations and also lets applicants translate themselves, or sells an $85 waiver under which it translates internally. WES wants a word-for-word translation by a professional translator.
TEC wants an outside translator certified by ATA; eVerbary can assign one on request through a free quote.
Graduate applicants and degrees in progress
For graduate study the evaluation must show that your degree is equivalent to a regionally accredited US bachelor's degree.
If you are still finishing your bachelor's, wait until it is complete: Fitchburg State asks for another evaluation when coursework is in progress, and wants any study beyond the bachelor's evaluated too (International admissions).
Missing items at the completion deadline move your file to the next term.

- Grades exactly as recorded, with the grading scale the document prints. We never convert marks to a US GPA.

Uploading the translation to Fitchburg State
The translation goes to TEC, WES or ECE with your records; the agency sends the evaluation and an official copy of your transcript to Fitchburg State, so you do not mail your own (International admissions).
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 Fitchburg State that means we translate your records; the course-by-course evaluation is ordered by you from TEC, WES or ECE.
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.
