Mount Holyoke requirements in detail
Translation (first-year)
Professional translations of secondary school documents and letters of recommendation not in English (International admission).
Who may translate
A professional translator; EducationUSA offices offer low-cost translations (International admission).
Transfers
Notarized translations alongside the original high school transcript (transfer admission).
Financial aid
All materials in English; professional translations preferred, self-translations accepted with copies of the originals (financial aid FAQ).
Evaluation
None asked of first-year applicants (International admission).
Deadlines
All credentials by November 15 (Early Decision I), January 5 (Early Decision II) or January 15 (Regular Decision); mid-year report February 15 (international FAQ).
Leaving exams
Required from graduates of secondary schools in African and Caribbean countries, unless the curriculum was IB, A Levels or AP (International admission FAQ).
Three rules for three kinds of documents
Mount Holyoke words its rule differently by audience.
For first-year admission, school documents and recommendation letters not in English must come with professional translations, and the page points to EducationUSA offices as a low-cost option (International admission).
Transfer applicants are asked for notarized translations alongside the original transcript (transfer admission); eVerbary adds notarization for $34.90 per order.
Financial aid is the most flexible: everything sent to Student Financial Services must be in English, professional translations are preferred, and self-translations are accepted if copies of the originals are attached (financial aid FAQ).
Because aid can affect the admission decision when documents arrive late (International admission FAQ), translate bank and income papers at the same time as school records.
Deadlines for every credential, including exams
Mount Holyoke dates each credential separately.
School transcripts, recommendations, leaving exams and national or external exams are due November 15 for Early Decision I, January 5 for Early Decision II and January 15 for Regular Decision; English proficiency results get until November 26 for Early Decision I (International admission FAQ).
Leaving exam results are required of graduates from African and Caribbean secondary schools unless they followed IB, A Levels or AP, and they need a professional translation like the transcript if not in English.
If your school has no counselor, a principal or head teacher completes the School Report and submits it with the transcript, or emails scans from an official school address (International admission FAQ).
Mount Holyoke does not communicate with agents and may deny an application partly completed by someone else.

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.

Uploading the translation to Mount Holyoke
Your school uploads the transcript and School Report through the Common App or Coalition App; give your counselor the professional translations to submit with them (International admission, FAQ). We can send the translation directly to the admissions office by email on request.
Financial aid translations go to Student Financial Services with copies of the originals (International student financial aid FAQ).
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 Mount Holyoke that means we translate your school records, exam results, recommendations and aid papers; the official transcript and School Report come from your school.
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.
