When using a digital transcript delivery service, you will be prompted to select a recipient institution to receive your transcripts. Look for us listed as “Berklee,” “Berklee College,” or “Berklee College of Music.”

Parchment (most commonly used by high schools)
Naviance
Scoir
Scribd

Via Email (preferred method #2)

For documents that you are unable to submit via a digital transcript delivery service, your college or university should email documents to admissions@berklee.edu, but note that we only accept documents sent via email if provided directly by the issuing institution.

Via Mail (discouraged)

For documents that you are unable to submit via digital delivery service or email, your college or university should mail documents to:

Berklee NYC
Office of Admissions

If you choose to mail your transcript and other supporting documents yourself, please do so by registered mail so your documents can be tracked.

Please make copies of all documents for your records and, whenever possible, mail all supporting documents together in one envelope.

All transcripts must be postmarked on or before the posted deadline date. Please anticipate a 2–3 week delay in processing any materials received via paper mail and plan accordingly for all deadlines.
