Troubleshooting

  1. Ensure you are using a computer, and not a handheld device such as a tablet or smartphone.

Requesting an Official Transcript

How to Request a Transcript

Aspire: Five-Week Music Performance Intensive

Summer Programs students who attended Aspire: Five-Week Music Performance Intensive must request official transcripts through the Office of the Registrar by filling out the Request a Summer Program Transcript form. Official Summer Program transcripts can only be sent via mail.

Instructions to access unofficial grade reports and transcripts are sent to Aspire: Five-Week students via their Berklee-issued Summer Programs student email address after the program ends each year, typically by early October. Students are responsible for downloading and retaining the unofficial grade and transcript reports before their Summer Programs student email address is deactivated in late October.

If you are unable to locate your unofficial Aspire: Five-Week grade and transcript report and need to request a new one, please contact the Summer Programs Advising Team at summer@berklee.edu.

 
 

Berklee Online and 2020 Summer Programs

If you completed a Berklee Online course or participated in a credit-eligible 2020 Berklee College of Music 12-week Summer Programs offering supported by Berklee Online, you can request an official transcript on the Berklee Online Request a Transcript page.

You can access your grades and unofficial transcript by logging into your account at online.berklee.edu.

 
 

FERPA Regulations

FERPA Regulations Governing Disclosure of Enrollment Information

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of the education records of students. Given that Berklee College of Music is a higher education institution and our summer programs are academic in nature, summer programs students, regardless of age, are protected under this policy. For this reason, we are unable to share student information without anyone other that the student themselves, including the student's personal class schedule, final course grades, college credit status, and/or transcript (if applicable).
 

Additional Information about FERPA

Berklee Summer Programs: Student Privacy Laws

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 20 U.S.C. S 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99, is a federal law that protects the privacy of the education records of students who are 18 years old and older.

All Berklee Staff must comply with this federal law. They cannot provide parents or family members with information about students concerning grades, academic standing, attendance, or other qualifying non-directory information without the written consent of the student. Please note that regardless of the student's age, Berklee staff may decline to share information protected by FERPA over email or other non-secure sources of communication where we cannot verify the requestor's identity. Given that Berklee is a higher education institution and our Summer Programs are academic in nature, Berklee Summer Programs students, regardless of age, are protected under this policy.

Directory information that can be shared includes name, enrollment status, graduation status, semester level, program, major, principal instrument, dates of attendance, college email address, and hometown.

As described by the US Department of Education, "The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the US Department of Education. FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children's education records. These rights transfer to the student when they reach the age of 18 or attend a school beyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights have transferred are 'eligible students'... Schools must have written permission from the...eligible student in order to release any information from a student's education record."
