Montana State University: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Worth knowing about Montana State

Montana State requirements in detail

Original plus a certified translation

Montana State asks for two documents for every transcript not in English: the original, front and back, and a translation by a Certified English Translator (application instructions).

The page does not define the term further; an eVerbary translation carries a signed certificate of accuracy from the translation service. Send both sides of the original too, since grading scales and stamps are often on the back.

For admission, Montana State reviews unofficial scanned copies sent by email, so the certified PDF translation can go in with them.

Before registering for classes you need official transcripts sent directly from your school by mail; keep the translation ready to accompany them if the international office asks.

Graduate applicants

Graduate applicants apply through the Graduate School's online application but follow the same international instructions; the admission criteria ask for a four-year bachelor's degree from an accredited, government-recognized university, a B average, three recommendations, a personal statement and official transcripts for all post-secondary coursework (graduate admission criteria).

Montana State does not ask for an outside credential evaluation on these pages.

Documents applicants usually translate

• High school transcript and diploma
• University transcripts, front and back
• Bachelor's degree certificate, for graduate study
• Bank statements, 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 Montana State

• Email the unofficial transcript and the certified translation to Montana State's international admissions office, as its instructions allow for unofficial scans; officials go by mail from your school to the Office of International Programs (Montana State: international application requirements and instructions). eVerbary can email the translation directly to the 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.
