Accepted Freshmen

You're in! The very first thing to do is to consider your options and submit your enrollment deposit by the appropriate deadline.

Submit Enrollment Deposit Online

Confirm enrollment online through the Application Portal »

To confirm your enrollment online, log into the Application Portal and submit your nonrefundable $500 enrollment deposit by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or electronic check.

If you were offered admission for Fall 2013, please deposit by May 1. If you were offered admission for Spring 2013, please deposit within two weeks of the date of your acceptance letter.

Once you have deposited, watch for updates from Emerson.

• Follow your spring or fall enrollment timeline and make sure to meet important deadlines.
• Check your email and snail mail regularly and join the Spring Class or Class of 2017 Facebook group.
• Contact us if you have questions.

Defer Admission

You can request to defer your offer of admission for one or two semesters.

• First, submit your $500 nonrefundable enrollment deposit via the Application Portal.
• After one business day, you will be able to view your deposit confirmation letter under Admission Decision in the Application Portal. It includes the option to request a deferral. You will be asked to specify your new desired start term and to explain why you wish to defer admission.

Conditions and details for deferrals

First-year students may take a total of two courses at another institution while in deferral but may not formally matriculate at another college or university. If you plan to take more than two courses during your deferral or if you plan to formally enroll at another college, you will be required to apply as a transfer student for your desired start term.

Transfer students should not plan to take coursework during a deferral. If you do continue taking courses, you must reapply for transfer admission for your desired start term.

Decline Admission

If you decline our admission offer, we will be disappointed but hope you still share with us some information about your decision. Please email admission@emerson.edu with your name, address, and reason for not attending. If you are attending another school, let us know which one.
