Requirements checked on November 13, 2026 from MATC's public pages (sources).
Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC) requires every transcript from a high school or college outside the US to be translated into English and evaluated by an MATC-approved evaluator before you apply, whether you are an F-1 applicant or already live in the US.
Milwaukee Area Technical College accepts certified translations from professional services such as eVerbary.
The evaluation comes from ECE, Educational Perspectives, Josef Silny, One Earth or another NACES or AICE member, which we do not provide.
MATC at a glance
Does it accept eVerbary? Yes
MATC says it is the applicant's responsibility to have the transcript translated to English and officially evaluated, and lists organizations you may use without limiting who translates (translation and evaluation list); a certified translation from a professional service such as eVerbary meets that. Policy checked on November 13, 2026.

Sample translation: a Congolese secondary school transcript
This is what an order looks like when it is delivered, with a fictitious student. The PDF starts with the signed certification page, and the translation follows the original line for line: every abbreviation is explained, stamps, seals and signatures are noted in brackets, and the grid stays the same, so an admissions officer or a credential evaluator can match it without guessing.
What to notice
- Two school years in the same grid as the original: every subject, grading period, exam and total, so each grade can be read against its maximum.
- The French rating abbreviations are translated (TB becomes VG, Very good), and every abbreviation is explained in a translator's note at the foot of the same page, including one the original never defines.
- Dates are written the US way (the original's 02/07/2015 is February 7, 2015).
- The photo, seals and signatures are noted in brackets where they appear.

MATC requirements in detail
Translation
All high school and college transcripts from outside the US translated to English (international students).
Who may translate
The applicant arranges it; MATC's list names organizations you may use, including one for translation only (Transcript translation / evaluation list (PDF)).
Evaluation
By an MATC-approved evaluator: ECE, Educational Perspectives, Josef Silny & Associates, One Earth, or any NACES or AICE endorsed member (Transcript translation / evaluation list (PDF)).
Which report
General (document-by-document) for diplomas; course-by-course for every college transcript; high school course-by-course for programs with prerequisites (Transcript translation / evaluation list (PDF)).
Who it applies to
International students and US-based students with foreign educational credentials (International Student Services).
F-1 deadlines
New students June 1 (fall) and November 1 (spring); transfer students July 1 and December 1 (International Student Services).
Translation and evaluation are two separate steps
MATC's transcript translation and evaluation sheet puts the translation on the applicant and splits the work between organizations: ECE in Milwaukee and One Earth in Madison evaluate only, the International Institute of Wisconsin translates only, and Educational Perspectives and Josef Silny do both.
The list says you may use one of them; it does not require it, and MATC also accepts evaluations from any NACES member or AICE endorsed member, while reserving the right to refuse other services.
So the order is: translate your diploma and transcripts into English, then send them to the evaluator with your records.
ECE asks for complete, word-for-word translations and lets applicants prepare them; Educational Perspectives accepts translations by a reputable agency or certified professional translator; One Earth accepts literal, word-for-word translations.
Josef Silny accepts outside translations made in the US only from ATA-certified translators.
Which programs need a high school course-by-course report
A general evaluation verifies that you finished high school or college.
MATC requires a course-by-course evaluation for every college or university transcript, both for transfer credit and to be considered for a placement-test waiver.
A high school course-by-course evaluation is required for programs with high school prerequisites: all health programs, aviation, welding, fire science, the IT programs, dietetic technician, television and video production and the engineering technology programs (Transcript translation / evaluation list (PDF)).
The rule is not only for F-1 students: MATC applies it to US-based students with foreign educational credentials as well (international students). If you plan a health or IT program, translate every year of your high school record, not just the diploma.
Need a certified translation for MATC?
$24.95 per page with no word cap, certification included, usually within 24 hours for one to three pages. See the price before you pay.
Documents applicants usually translate
- High school diploma or leaving certificate
- High school transcripts of all years, for the course-by-course report
- College or university transcripts and degree certificates
- Bank statements, if not in English (F-1 applicants)
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 with no word cap, 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 MATC
The translation goes to the evaluator with your records; the evaluation then goes to MATC before you submit the MATC College Application. F-1 applicants also email their financial documents to the International Student Service Specialist (International Student Services).
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 MATC that means we translate your records; the general or course-by-course evaluation comes from ECE, Educational Perspectives, Josef Silny, One Earth or another NACES or AICE member, ordered by you.
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.
Frequently asked questions
I live in Milwaukee and studied in Mexico. Do I need an evaluation?
Yes. MATC applies the translation and evaluation rule to US-based students with foreign credentials too (International Student Services).
Do I have to use one of the organizations MATC lists?
MATC says you may use them, and also accepts evaluations from any NACES or AICE endorsed member (Transcript translation / evaluation list (PDF)).
Which report do I need for my college transcripts?
A course-by-course evaluation, for every college or university transcript (Transcript translation / evaluation list (PDF)).
Can eVerbary provide an ATA-certified translator for Josef Silny?
Yes, on request through a free quote, for the languages ATA certifies into English. ECE, Educational Perspectives and One Earth do not ask for ATA certification.
When are the F-1 deadlines?
June 1 for fall and November 1 for spring; transfer students July 1 and December 1 (International Student Services).
Will eVerbary convert my grades to a US GPA?
No. The translation reproduces the grades and the grading scale exactly as they appear. A GPA conversion is credential evaluation, which the institution or an evaluation agency does.
