University of Arkansas rules on translated academic records
The University of Arkansas publishes its own requirements for records that are not in English, and they are stricter than a standard certified translation. Read them before you order.
- Undergraduate applicants. The international admissions page says transcripts must include the original native language transcript and an English language translation, and that copies and English translations must be stamped or embossed by the issuing institution to confirm they are literal translations.
- Degree documents. The degree equivalencies page says that if your institution does not issue transcripts in English, you must submit English translations along with your original language transcripts.
- School of Law. J.D. applicants send official transcripts from every institution attended to the Law School Admission Council through its Credential Assembly Service. The law school page gives no separate translation rule, so ask the Office of Admissions at (479) 575-3102.
