Submit a request 

Emmanuel College uses the Common Application. Students must submit all application requirements by the appropriate application deadline to receive an admissions decision. Decisions are received by mail typically four to six weeks after an application becomes complete. 

Application requirements include the Common Application form, college essay, official high school transcript, official senior year grades (if a student is applying under our Regular Decision program) and two letters of recommendation. One letter must come from a school or college counselor and the other, an academic teacher of the student's choosing. We also require that you complete the Common Application Secondary School Report. 

Applicants for admission are not required to submit standardized test scores (SAT I, SAT II and ACT). For more information on this policy, please visit our test-optional information page.  

While interviews are not required, they are recommended for all applicants. Students can arrange interviews by calling the Office of Admissions at 617-735-9715 or emailing admissions [at] emmanuel.edu.
