Millersville University of Pennsylvania: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Worth knowing about Millersville

Millersville requirements in detail

Original and English, translated by a named source

Millersville says every credential it receives is required in both its original language and English, and that translations should come from your high school or university, your academic advisor, an EducationUSA advisor, or an ATA-certified translator; it notes that many NACES and AICE companies also translate (Transcript requirements).

The undergraduate checklist calls these certified English translations, and asks for official documents or notarized, attested copies, never your only original (Undergraduate application checklist).

For a professional translation, order one from a translator individually certified by ATA.

Official transcripts reach the international office by email from faculty or staff at your school, or from a recognized attesting organization such as EducationUSA or a NACES or AICE company, or by mail; a notarization by a non-academic entity is not adequate (Transcript requirements).

In-house evaluation, and where the graduate page differs

The international office articulates credentials in-house, following AACRAO EDGE and TAICEP practices: you submit a clear copy of your transcripts or consolidated marksheets in the original language and in English, and staff establish the US equivalency and GPA (Transcript requirements).

A NACES or AICE evaluation is not required, but Millersville may request one case by case, at your cost; if you supply one, it must be accompanied by the transcripts used to produce it (AICE and NACES endorsed companies).

The graduate admissions page says applicants with a bachelor's degree from a non-US institution must send their credentials to a recognized evaluation service for a course-by-course evaluation, naming WES and its ICAP service; applicants not using ICAP send an official transcript in the native language with an English translation in a sealed envelope.

The international office page says all applicants can have an in-house evaluation. We have not resolved this; graduate applicants should ask InternationalAdmissions@Millersville.edu before ordering.

Documents applicants usually translate

• Secondary school transcripts or consolidated marksheets
• Secondary school diploma or leaving certificate
• University transcripts and degree certificates
• Bank documents for the I-20, 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 Millersville

• Send clear copies of each credential in the original language and English to International Admissions; official records come from your school or an attesting organization (Transcript requirements).

• Graduate applicants using WES ICAP send the translation to WES with their records; WES delivers the transcripts and evaluation to Millersville (International graduate applicants).

If you need a translator certified by ATA

Some offices accept only a translator who is personally certified by the American Translators Association (ATA). eVerbary assigns one on request, for the languages ATA certifies into English:

To order it, ask for a free quote and write in the notes that the translation is for Millersville, which program it is for, and that you need a translator individually certified by ATA, plus anything else the office asks for (notarization, delivery by email to the office).

We confirm the price and the translator before you pay. ATA does not certify other languages into English, so no translator anywhere holds ATA certification for them.

For those languages we provide a notarized certified translation instead, at $44.95 per page plus notarization ($34.90 per order); ask the office to confirm it accepts that, and write its answer in the quote notes.

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.
