Office of the Registrar at Berklee College of Music

Due to the high volume at the start of each semester, transcripts will take a minimum of 14 business days to process from the date of receipt. 

Official transcripts: You can order official undergraduate or graduate electronic (eTranscripts) and paper transcripts through Berklee College of Music’s online transcript request service. 

Unofficial transcripts: Berklee does not process requests for unofficial transcripts. However, you can view and download your unofficial transcript on MyBerklee. Log in to your my.berklee.edu account, and in the menu on the left, click on the drop-down arrow next to Academics, then click on the "Unofficial Transcript" link. This will take you to the Unofficial Transcript page, where you can download a PDF of your unofficial transcript.

Summer program transcripts: If you attended Berklee College of Music’s Aspire: Five-Week Music Performance Intensive or Valencia's Spain Summer Performance Program and would like a transcript, you must fill out the Request a Summer Program Transcript form. Your transcript will be mailed to you.

To request a letter confirming that you are either currently attending or have graduated from Berklee College of Music, you must fill out an Enrollment Verification Request form.

International Student Services offers several ways to get advising help. You can:

Students wishing to change their program—either from the Bachelor of Music degree to the Professional Diploma or from the Professional Diploma to the Bachelor of Music degree—must meet with an advisor and be in good academic standing after completing at least one semester at Berklee.

To enroll in fewer than the full-time minimum of 12 credits per semester, you must request official part-time status by submitting the Part-Time Status Request form. 

Keep in mind that part-time status is typically awarded only for medical reasons or in a student’s last semester. Also, if you enroll in fewer than 12 credits and you receive financial aid and/or a scholarship, your award may be affected. 

All students must be authorized to enroll part-time for the fall and spring semesters. Only international students or students in their first semester must apply for part-time enrollment status for the summer semester. 

See Berklee’s Full- and Part-Time Policies or page 10 of the Policy Handbook for Students to learn more.

You can withdraw from a course after the deadline to drop a course has passed by submitting a Withdrawal from Courses form (login required). 

Keep in mind that a withdrawn course will remain on your transcript with a grade of "W" (Withdrawn) and is not eligible for a tuition refund or a replacement course.

See How to Withdraw from a Berklee College of Music Course for more information.

Students who wish to withdraw from the college any time after completing the check-in process are required to submit a Withdrawal from the College form in order to be officially withdrawn from the semester. There are three ways to do this:

• Domestic students withdrawing for nonmedical reasons must schedule an appointment with Student Success Programs.
• Domestic students withdrawing for medical reasons must contact Health and Wellness at 617-747-2310 to schedule an appointment.
• International students withdrawing for either medical or nonmedical reasons must schedule an appointment with their international advisor.

To cancel your registration for an upcoming semester, you must submit a Registration Cancellation form (login required) by the posted deadline.

For help with planning your schedule, make an appointment with your success advisor.

Academic advisors are also available on a first-come, first-served basis to discuss quick topics relating to course registration during daily drop-in hours (login required). 

You can also find important information, policies, and resources to help with registration in the Registration Guide.
