When reapplying, your essay should address your reasons for leaving MassArt, your activities while you were not enrolled, and your reasons for seeking readmission at this time.

Readmission candidates must submit a portfolio of at least 15 examples of work. This work may reflect the skills learned during your time at MassArt or during your professional and/or educational experiences since leaving MassArt.

Please request a MassArt transcript be sent to the Admissions Office by emailing the Registrar's Office at registrar@massart.edu; there is no transcript fee if you are reapplying.

If you attended any institutions after leaving MassArt, you must submit official transcripts.

In order to be considered official, transcripts can be sent one of two ways:

  1. Directly to MassArt in an envelope stamped and sealed by a college registrar
  2. Submitted digitally directly from the college to the Admissions Office at admissions@massart.edu

Transcripts submitted by the student are not considered official.
