University of Missouri: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Worth knowing about Mizzou

Mizzou requirements in detail

A translation, and no evaluation at all

Mizzou is one of the universities that does the conversion itself.

Its international FAQ says it evaluates all international transcripts in-house, converts grades from any educational system into a US GPA, and does not accept transcript evaluations from any external credential evaluation service (international FAQ).

Paying WES or another agency adds nothing to the application. What Mizzou does need is the original transcript in its native language and a certified, literal English translation of it (how to apply).

Keep every grade and the grading scale exactly as on the original; the GPA conversion is Mizzou's.

Unofficial first, official from the school

You can upload transcripts and translations as PDFs to your Application Status Page.

Anything you send yourself is treated as unofficial, but depending on the educational system an admission decision can often be made from it; an admissions evaluator emails you if more is needed (International applicants: how to apply).

A transcript emailed to inter@missouri.edu by a school counselor or other official counts as official, and an official final transcript is required after admission, by email from the school, electronic exchange or post.

Students at a US high school with records from home

If you attend a US high school, Mizzou still wants the transcripts of any high school you attended in your home country, as originals with their English translation.

It does not accept home-country grades that have been transferred to or adjusted by your US high school (International applicants: how to apply).

For the earlier years, a certified translation of the high school record is what you add to the file.

Documents applicants usually translate

• High school transcripts or mark sheets, grades 9 to 12 or equivalent
• Secondary school diploma or leaving certificate
• College or university transcripts, every institution attended
• Bank letters or sponsor documents, 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.

Uploading the translation to Mizzou

• Upload the original transcript and the translation as PDF attachments to your Application Status Page (International applicants: how to apply). eVerbary delivers the certified translation as a PDF, usually within a few hours for most orders.

• The official final transcript is sent by your school to inter@missouri.edu or by post to 230 Jesse Hall after admission (International applicants: how to apply); on request, eVerbary can also email the translation directly to the Office of International Admissions.

How to order

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.
