Transcripts
We use a third-party, Parchment Transcript Services (parchment.com) for transcript orders for Emerson College and Marlboro College students and alumni.
Complete the transcript order form
- Electronic transcripts cost $6.00 each. Hard-copy transcripts cost $8.50 each. Please see the order form for pricing on expedited shipping for hard-copy transcripts.
- Marlboro students: Please the order form from Parchment. When it asks if you attended Marlboro, select Yes. Please allow 1-3 business days processing time for both paper and electronic Marlboro transcript orders.
- After placing your order, Parchment will send you emails regarding your order status. You can also check the status of your order at any time.

- Students who attended Emerson before 1982: please allow 1-2 additional days for both hard-copy and electronic transcript processing.
Unofficial Transcripts
Current students may view their unofficial transcript via the myEmerson app under "View an Unofficial Transcript". Unofficial transcripts contain the same information as official transcripts but are not accepted by academic institutions. Unofficial transcripts are not available to alumni.
Enrollment Verifications
Employers and third parties should request enrollment and degree verifications through the National Student Clearinghouse.
Downloadable Enrollment Verifications
Downloadable enrollment verifications may be obtained from
once classes are in session. They certify whether you are enrolled full-time, half-time, or less than half-time for either the current semester or for all of the semesters that you have attended.
Pre-Registration Verifications
Before a semester starts, students can request pre-registration verifications on College letterhead by sending a written request to registrar [at] emerson.edu (registrar[at]emerson[dot]edu). These letters do not verify enrollment and can only indicate intention to be enrolled in the upcoming semester. However, many students find these letters useful for non-academic purposes (e.g. student auto loan discounts).
Other Verifications
If the downloadable enrollment verification in myEmerson does not suffice, please email registrar [at] emerson.edu (registrar[at]emerson[dot]edu) and let us know what additional information is required (date of birth, address, or other academic information). We can provide a custom verification letter on College letterhead.
Third-Party Forms
Students who are transferring to another school generally need to submit a "Transfer College Report" or "Dean’s Report." Please complete your applicant information prior to sending to registrar [at] emerson.edu (registrar[at]emerson[dot]edu). You must include the recipient's contact information so we know where to send the report once it's completed. The Registrar's Office will fill out your academic information. Student Life will fill out your disciplinary information and send the report to its final destination. Please anticipate a 5-7 business day turnaround time as multiple offices are involved.
Students who need the Common Application "Midterm Report" completed should work with their current faculty instructors to complete this form. The Registrar’s Office does not complete or submit this form for students.
Third-party enrollment verification forms, which require the school seal, must be submitted directly to the Registrar’s Office for processing. Please include the intended recipient or if your documents should be held for pick-up.
Replacement Diplomas
Apostilles
Apostille requests are completed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The process can take up to four weeks from the date we receive all necessary materials.
An apostille is a government certification for documents needed outside of the United States. They are used to certify diplomas, transcripts, or other parts of your student record. To request an apostille, Emerson students should fill out our request form.
Please include:
- An international money order or a personal check drawn from a U.S. bank made payable to "The Commonwealth of Massachusetts" in the amount of US$6.00 per document to be certified.
- A self-addressed, stamped 8.5" x 11" (22 cm x 28 cm) envelope for the MA State House to return everything back to you. Please make sure the postage covers the cost of shipping the documents. Pre-paid postage should be from the MA State House (One Ashburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108) if a return address is required. It should be addressed to you, or whoever needs to receive the apostille.
- Any additional documents that need to be certified. See form instructions for details.
