Framingham State University: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Worth knowing about Framingham State

Framingham State requirements in detail

A course-by-course evaluation for every applicant from abroad

Framingham State asks international first-year and transfer applicants to send official transcripts or national exam scores and a course-by-course evaluation of the high school record and any college transcripts from an approved provider (international applicants).

Transfer applicants are told the evaluation must be certified, made from official transcripts and show grade and credit-hour equivalents for each course (transfer guide).

There is no separate translation rule; the translation goes to the agency.

For graduate applicants, the page calls the requirement an "official international transcript translation evaluation": all college-level transcripts must be evaluated for US equivalency and translation, course-by-course (graduate international).

Ask the agency whether it needs your own certified translation or translates internally before ordering.

What each evaluation agency asks for the translation

WES wants a word-for-word translation from a professional translator, not the applicant. ECE accepts any complete, word-for-word translation, including your own, and sells an $85 translation waiver.

IEE accepts translations by certified translators, not by the client or a notary, and sells its own.

The Evaluation Company and, for translations made in the US, Josef Silny accept outside translations only from ATA-certified translators; eVerbary can assign one on request through a free quote, for the languages ATA certifies.

Documents applicants usually translate

• High school transcripts or national exam results
• Secondary diploma or leaving certificate
• University transcripts and degree certificates

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 Framingham State

• The translation goes to the evaluation agency with your records, not to Framingham State; the application itself is the Common App or the Framingham State University Application, with a $50 fee (Undergraduate international applicants).

How to order

1. Scan or photograph every page of the document, front and back, including any stamps on the reverse.
2. Upload it, choose the language and "certified", and see the price before paying.
3. 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.
