Academics

Office of the Registrar

The Office of the Registrar supports the MassArt community with a range of enrollment and administrative-related services.

Our office is here to help current students navigate many administrative aspects of their academic journey. That includes course registration and cross-registration, adding and dropping classes, and managing transfer credits. We handle requests for transcripts, certificates of enrollment, degree verifications, and diplomas, and also work closely with faculty to assist with grades and class rosters. By providing each student with a big-picture view of their academic standing and progress, we help ensure that they are effectively working toward their goals.

Our team is responsible for the safety, storage, access, and privacy of all student and alumni records. We also provide support for day-to-day internal reporting and prepare and submit regular reports to the City of Boston and the Department of Education.
