Massasoit Community College: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Worth knowing about Massasoit

Massasoit requirements in detail

Notarized translation and a certified evaluation

Massasoit asks for two things for foreign school records.

The FAQ says official transcripts and the high school diploma or leaving certificate are needed, and a notarized translation of all non-English transcripts must be submitted in English for admission (international FAQ).

The international admissions page adds an official evaluation of the secondary transcript or diploma, and says all academic documents must be evaluated by a certified evaluation company (international students).

Massasoit lists seven companies for evaluations and translations, including Atlas Credential Evaluations with a discount code, CED, IERF, The Evaluation Company and WES.

Each sets its own rule for the translation you send it; some accept a professional translation, and The Evaluation Company accepts outside translations only from ATA-certified translators, which eVerbary can provide on request through a free quote.

Transfer credit: an official translation and an evaluated document

The Registrar's rule for transfer credit is that transcripts in any language other than English must be accompanied by supporting official translation into English, and more information may be requested (transfer credit).

The international page adds that college transfer credit will potentially be awarded only with an official college transcript and an evaluated document (International students).

One notarized certified translation can serve admission, the agency and the Registrar.

Documents applicants usually translate

• High school transcripts and diploma or leaving certificate
• College or university transcripts and diplomas
• Bank letter, if not 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 Massasoit

• Submit the notarized translations with your official transcripts as part of the international application; the evaluation agency sends its report to Massasoit (International students).

• eVerbary delivers a signed PDF and, when notarization is added, the notarized copy; we can also email the translation directly to the admissions office on request.

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.
