University of Dayton: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Worth knowing about Dayton

Dayton requirements in detail

The full secondary record, translated

Dayton asks for the transcript of every secondary school you attended, with dates of attendance, all subjects, grades and examination marks, in the language of original issue, and a certified English translation alongside (International undergraduate admission).

If you have graduated, add every graduation document that applies: final transcript, exam results, certificate of completion and diploma; if not yet, they must arrive before you do.

Translate each one, including the diploma, so the Admission Account checklist clears.

Transfers: TEC and an ATA-certified translator

For undergraduate coursework from outside the US, Dayton accepts only a divisional course analysis from TEC, ordered through its discounted Dayton application; TEC sends the official report to Dayton at no extra charge (International undergraduate admission).

TEC requires outside translations to be made by a translator certified by the American Translators Association, or translates in-house after your application is complete. eVerbary can assign an ATA-certified translator through a free quote; say the translation is for TEC.

Documents applicants usually translate

• Secondary school transcripts, every school attended
• Examination results and certificate of completion
• Secondary school diploma
• University transcripts, for the TEC course analysis (transfers)

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 Dayton

• Upload the transcripts and certified translations to your Admission Account checklist (International undergraduate admission). For transfer credit, the translation goes to TEC with your college records, and TEC sends the evaluation to Dayton.

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 Dayton, 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.
