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

Worth knowing about UW-Stout

UW-Stout requirements in detail

Undergraduates: records, a translation and course descriptions

UW-Stout Polytechnic shares the Universities of Wisconsin application, then asks international and ESL conditional applicants to send academic records from every secondary and post-secondary school with an English translation, and to include course descriptions for all courses completed at post-secondary institutions; records from US schools go through Parchment (undergraduate international).

Course descriptions can run to many pages, so if they are not in English, plan their translation with the transcripts.

The upload link arrives by email after you apply, and documents can also be mailed to the Admissions Office in Sorensen Hall.

A $50 processing fee is due before an admission decision, and applicants already in F-1 status are considered after the deadline case by case (How to apply: undergraduate international and ESL students).

Graduate applicants: a NACES report or UW-Stout's own evaluation

Graduate applicants provide official or attested records from every higher education institution, translated into English, together with the original documents, and a credential evaluation is required (graduate international).

If you already have an evaluation from a NACES member, the evaluator sends it directly and official transcripts are not needed.

Otherwise UW-Stout evaluates internally; the records and degree certificate must then be sent directly by the institution, with English translations for those not in English, and UW-Stout cannot accept transcripts from students, agents or other intermediaries. The internal evaluation is not given to you.

On the NACES path you send the translation to the agency with your documents; on the internal path everything, translations included, comes from the school.

Graduate ESL applicants instead send their academic records translated into English, with course descriptions, to the undergraduate Admissions Office.

Documents applicants usually translate

• Secondary school transcripts and completion certificate
• University transcripts and degree certificates
• Course descriptions for every post-secondary course
• Bank statement or sponsor letter for the declaration of finances

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.

• $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-Stout

• Undergraduate and ESL applicants upload their records and translations through the link UW-Stout emails after the application, or mail them to the Admissions Office, 212 Sorensen Hall, 121 10th Ave. E., Menomonie (How to apply: undergraduate international and ESL students).

• Graduate applicants finalize the application on UW-Stout's Collection Site; an existing NACES evaluation is sent by the evaluator to Graduate Admissions, 105 Bowman Hall (How to apply: graduate international students).
