Emerson College alumni are welcome to take advantage of a number of alumni benefits and other perks that come with their free and automatic membership into the Alumni Association, once they have completed at least two semesters of study. Alumni-exclusive benefits include professional development, discounted tickets, and Boston campus library access.

Discounts

Emerson has created the Emerson Alumni Discounts program to give Emersonians up to 50% off on everything from hotels, flights and rental cars, to movies, shopping, and entertainment. Alumni can sign up with Registration Code EMAL25Q2.

ArtsEmerson Tickets

Emerson alumni receive 30% off tickets to any ArtsEmerson production. Tickets can be purchased online by selecting the Emerson College Community Member price option on the seating chart page. Tickets can also be purchased over the phone or at the box office by identifying yourself as an Emerson alum.

Hotel Discounts

Emerson College has partnered with Campus Travel Management (CTM) to leverage volume discounts and offer travelers (parents, prospective students, alumni, and other guests) a user-friendly solution to reserve hotels in Boston and Los Angeles. We want to make sure visiting Emerson is as affordable and enjoyable as possible.

Encore Scholarship

The Encore Scholarship is available to alumni continuing their education through Emerson’s graduate degrees and certificate programs. Alumni from both undergraduate and graduate programs are eligible to receive scholarship benefits, and qualified recipients are eligible for a $4,000 per term scholarship for full-time study or $2,000 per term for part-time.

Professional Studies and Special Programs Discount

Alumni are eligible for a 10% discount on tuition for credit-bearing courses offered through the Department of Professional Studies and Special Programs. Visit Professional Studies for more information.

AAA

Emersonians are automatically members of the Alumni Association once they have completed at least two semesters of study and are therefore eligible for a AAA insurance discount. Please note that this discount is available to alumni only and is not available to currently enrolled students. Have your agent email alumni@emerson.edu to confirm your alumni status.

ELA Alumni Workspace

Alumni in Los Angeles and alumni traveling to Los Angeles: do you need a place to get some work done? Come to ELA! We have three workstations available for alumni to use during the week, free of charge. Details are listed on the reservation request form. Contact alumni@emerson.edu with any questions.

Apostilles

Apostille requests are completed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The process can take up to four weeks from the date we receive all necessary materials.

An apostille is a government certification for documents needed outside of the United States. They are used to certify diplomas, transcripts, or other parts of your student record. To request an apostille, Emerson former students and alumni should fill out our request form.

Please include:

  • An international money order or a personal check drawn from a U.S. bank made payable to “The Commonwealth of Massachusetts” in the amount of US$6.00 per document to be certified.
  • A self-addressed, stamped 8.5″ x 11″ (22 cm x 28 cm) envelope for the MA State House to return everything back to you. Please make sure the postage covers the cost of shipping the documents. Pre-paid postage should be from the MA State House (One Ashburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108) if a return address is required. It should be addressed to you, or whoever needs to receive the apostille.
  • Any additional documents that need to be certified. See form instructions for details.
