Undergraduate Application Reactivation Form

Application Reactivation Form

Please use this reactivation form if you have previously applied for admission to Emerson College within the last academic year. After submitting this application, your form will be reviewed. If approved, you will receive a communication with next steps. Applicants who submitted an application more than one academic year prior must follow the process for applying as a freshman or transfer student.

Freshman Applicant

Apply as a new first time applicant if you are currently a high school student, or if you have graduated from high school and have taken fewer than 9 college credits, or if you have not yet gone to college.

Early Decision is a binding early deadline. This option is appropriate only if you are sure Emerson is your first choice and are prepared to apply by the deadline. Binding means you must commit to enroll at Emerson, if admitted. ED applicants cannot apply Early Decision to other institutions. ED applicants can apply EA to other colleges, but must withdraw those applications if admitted to Emerson.
Early Action is a non-binding early deadline. This option is for students who consider Emerson their first choice and are prepared to apply by the deadline. Students applying Early Action to Performing Arts must complete an Early Action Artistic Review. If your Artistic Review will take place after the first of the year, please apply Regular Decision.
Regular Decision is a non-binding deadline. This option is for students who are strongly considering Emerson, but would follow our regular decision deadline to complete an application. Spring applicants should apply by November 1. Please note that Performing Arts majors may only apply for a fall start term.

Transfer Applicant

Apply as a transfer student if you are currently enrolled at a college or university and you will complete 9 or more college credits prior to your desired start term at Emerson.

Transfer students may apply for Regular Decision by November 1 for spring admission and June 15 for fall admission.
Apply for Transfer Priority Decision by March 15 for fall admission if you want to apply for a Performing Arts or Comedic Arts program. Please note that Performing Arts and Comedic Arts majors may only apply for a fall start term.

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 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?

If yes, please explain below.

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.

If yes, please explain the circumstances below.

I certify that the information on this form is complete and correct, and I understand that the submission of false information is grounds for denial of my application, withdrawal of any offer of acceptance, cancellation of enrollment or any appropriate disciplinary action. I authorize Emerson College to verify the information I have provided with all the schools I have attended. I agree to notify the proper officials of the institution of any changes in the information provided.
