Tuition Explanation

All graduate tuition is assessed on a per credit basis. 

Each semester, you will be billed after you have been registered for your courses. 

Your annual financial aid award will become available after you have been registered for the first term of each academic year. Your financial aid award will be adjusted based on the number of credits that you are enrolled in.

Billing Schedule

Emerson College generates electronic tuition statements once a semester. Statements can be viewed through the myEmerson app or as an Authorized User. Email notifications will be sent to students and their Authorized Users each time a new tuition statement has been uploaded.

  • Fall semester statements are available in late June and are due August 1.
  • Spring semester statements are available in mid-November and are due December 16.
  • Please adhere to the billing due date to avoid having your registration terminated. Students with unresolved account balances will automatically be unregistered. For additional information, please read our Financial Policies.

Once you have registered, your account charges will be updated and your new account balance will be viewable through the myEmerson app or Authorized User.
