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.
