University of Wisconsin–Green Bay: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Worth knowing about UW-Green Bay

UW-Green Bay requirements in detail

First-year: the record, and the translation with it

UW-Green Bay makes its admission decision from your official academic records.

For a first-year applicant that means the official secondary school transcript, the diploma or the examination results, in English; if they are not in English, a certified English translation is needed, accompanied by the original (international admission).

Translate each document you send, so the transcript, the diploma and the exam results each have their English version; see high school diploma translation.

The calendar is tight: the last day to apply is July 1 for fall and December 1 for spring, and the last day to submit documents is one day later, July 2 or December 2 (International admission). Have the translation ready before you apply.

Transfer and graduate applicants: a NACES report

If you attended a university or other post-secondary institution outside the US, UW-Green Bay asks for a course-by-course evaluation from a NACES-approved service (International admission).

Graduate applicants need the same kind of report, with WES or ECE recommended, sent by the agency directly to the Office of Graduate Studies; graduates of US institutions send transcripts instead (graduate international).

The agency sets the translation rule: WES wants a professional translator and does not accept translations by applicants; ECE accepts any complete, word-for-word translation.

For three-year degrees, the graduate page lists when they are considered: after six semesters of a four-year program, a Bologna three-year degree, or an Indian Bachelor of Commerce or Business Administration from an institution with a NAAC grade of A (Graduate admission: international students).

Documents applicants usually translate

• Secondary school transcript and diploma
• Examination results, such as a national school-leaving exam
• University transcripts and degree certificates, for the NACES evaluation
• Bank statement or letter for the financial support statement

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 UW-Green Bay

• Apply through the Universities of Wisconsin Admission Pathway Portal, then submit the original records with their certified translations as UW-Green Bay instructs, by the documents deadline (International admission).

• Transfer and graduate applicants send the translation to the NACES agency with their records; graduate evaluations go directly from the agency to the Office of Graduate Studies (Graduate admission: international students).

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.
