Emerson is committed to treating applicants with a criminal or disciplinary history fairly and with dignity and respect. In keeping with this principle, Emerson will ask questions that are narrowly tailored to specific history relevant to issues of campus safety. Emerson is committed to reducing barriers to higher education, and answering "yes" to either of these questions is NOT an automatic bar to admission to Emerson. Emerson will review the information you provide using our supervisory review process.
Have you ever been convicted at trial, or plead guilty to, a criminal offense involving violence, physical force or the threat of physical force, a sexual offense, possession of a weapon, kidnapping, arson or any other offense which caused physical harm to another person? You should answer "no" if your conviction has been sealed, expunged, or overturned or if you were arrested but not convicted.*
Yes
No
Please explain:
Have you ever been found responsible for a disciplinary violation at your previous high school, college or university for any act involving violence, physical force or the threat of physical force, a sexual offense, possession of a weapon, kidnapping, arson or any offense which caused physical harm to another person?*
Yes
No
Please explain:
Please note:
applicants are expected to immediately notify the institutions to which they are applying should there be any changes to the information requested in this application, including disciplinary history. We reserve the right to request further information based on any disclosures.
