Montana State University Billings requires official transcripts to include an English translation, and graduate applicants to include one for every non-English transcript and credential; it does not say who must translate.

MSU Billings requirements in detail
Translation
Official transcripts must include an English translation (MSU Billings: undergraduate international admissions); graduate applicants include one for all non-English transcripts and credentials (MSU Billings: graduate international admissions).
Who may translate
Not stated.
Evaluation (undergraduate)
Post-secondary records from outside the US: a course-by-course evaluation from ECE or SpanTran; others case by case (MSU Billings: undergraduate international admissions).
Evaluation (graduate)
A course-by-course evaluation from AACRAO or ECE; others considered (MSU Billings: graduate international admissions).
Unofficial first
Unofficial transcripts or photocopies for admission; official ones, sent directly by the school, before registering (MSU Billings: undergraduate international admissions).
Deadlines
Fall: July 15. Spring: November 15 (MSU Billings: undergraduate international admissions).
The translation travels with the transcript
MSU Billings asks that official transcripts come directly from the school and include an English translation (undergraduate international).
If your school cannot attach one, ask the international office whether a certified translation sent separately is accepted; eVerbary can email it directly to the office on request.
For the admission review an unofficial copy and its translation are enough, so the decision does not wait for the official record.
Different evaluators by level
Undergraduates with college study abroad send it to ECE or SpanTran, and graduate applicants to AACRAO or ECE, both course by course (MSU Billings: undergraduate international admissions; graduate).
ECE accepts complete, literal translations in the original's format, lets applicants translate themselves, and sells an $85 Translation Waiver.
SpanTran, now The Evaluation Company, asks for an outside translator certified by the American Translators Association; for it, eVerbary can assign one through a free quote.

- High school transcript
- College or university transcripts
- Degree certificates and credentials, 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 MSU Billings
Send the unofficial transcript and its certified translation with the application, then have the school send the official one (MSU Billings: undergraduate international admissions). For the evaluation, the translation goes to ECE, SpanTran or AACRAO with your records.
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.
At MSU Billings that means the course-by-course evaluation of college records from abroad is ordered from ECE, SpanTran or AACRAO; we translate the transcripts.
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.
