For international students, MSU requires these documents in the original language (e.g. Chinese) as well as an official English translation. Effective Spring 2015, Michigan State University will require all incoming admitted students wishing to accept and attend MSU, and who have pursued or are pursuing degrees from universities in mainland China to submit a verification report (English version) through the China Academic Degrees and Graduate Education Development Center (CDGDC) for their final Bachelor's Degree transcripts (大學(xué)成績單) and Bachelor's Degree (本科學(xué)位證書). All verification reports need to be sent to the MSU Office of Admissions directly by CDGDC. For those who already have a Master's Degree, we only need the undergraduate level verification report for your Bachelor's Degree from CDGDC. Only verification reports from the CDGDC will be accepted. MSU does not accept documents from WES or other similar organizations.
