Idaho State University: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Worth knowing about Idaho State

Idaho State requirements in detail

Sealed school copies and a certified translator

For secondary school, Idaho State wants your mark sheets and diploma as originals or copies certified by the school principal or the controller of examinations, sealed in a school envelope, or emailed directly by the principal or registrar (undergraduate international admission).

Documents not in English must be translated by a certified translator. College transcripts from every institution attended follow the same rules and also need certified translations.

Documents become ISU's property and are not returned (Idaho State University: international admission). See high school diploma translation.

Study abroad: course-by-course only, read by faculty

Anyone with post-secondary study outside the US submits a course-by-course evaluation from a NACES member; Idaho State does not accept other report types (Idaho State University: international undergraduate admission).

The evaluation decides admission eligibility and lets ISU faculty in each department review your courses for credit.

ECE built a custom application for ISU with a 10% discount and a free digital copy; IEE and WES are also recommended.

Their translation rules: ECE accepts literal, word-for-word translations, including the applicant's own, or sells an $85 Translation Waiver; IEE wants a certified translator, not the applicant or a notary; WES wants a professional translator or service. A certified translation from eVerbary meets all three.

Documents applicants usually translate

• Secondary school mark sheets and diploma
• University transcripts and degree certificates
• Medium of instruction letter, for an English proficiency exemption
• Bank statements and sponsor letters

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 Idaho State

• Official transcripts, their certified translations and the agency evaluation are mailed to Idaho State, or the agency sends the evaluation directly; I-20 documents such as financial statements can go to admiss@isu.edu (Idaho State University: international admission, Idaho State University: international undergraduate admission). eVerbary can email the translation directly to admissions on request, or mail it in a sealed, signed envelope: choose the hard copy at checkout with ISU's address ($19.95 Priority or $37.95 Express in the US) and write in the order notes that it is for Idaho State.

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.
