Enrolled Students
We can't wait to welcome you to Peabody! Pay close attention to this webpage, your email, the enrolled student Brightspace group, and our enrolled student checklist for all of the information you need during your transition to Peabody.
Final Official Transcripts
All entering graduate and professional students at Vanderbilt University must submit final, official transcripts for prior degrees earned in order to register for classes for their first semester. For students enrolled in Peabody's M.Ed. Program in Human Development Studies-Dietitian/Nutritionist Specialization, official transcripts of prior degrees, a final transcript upon Vanderbilt degree completion, and other relevant academic data are shared with Vanderbilt University Medical Center's Programs in Allied Health for credentialing and accreditation purposes.
Materials must be mailed to:
URO - Records
Vanderbilt University
PMB 407833
2301 Vanderbilt Place
Nashville, TN 37240-7833
Official electronic copies of your transcript may be sent by your institution to the following address: prior-degree-review@vanderbilt.edu
Email Communication
You'll also want to keep a close eye on your email. Now that you're enrolled, you'll start to receive emails from peabody.enrolled@vanderbilt.edu - make sure to read each one carefully, and always let us know if you have questions! You can also email this address for any questions or concerns during your transition to Peabody.
We'll also begin to email your @vanderbilt.edu email account. Be sure to check it regularly. Remember - this is an Office 365 account not a VU Student Gmail account. This can get confusing. Follow this link to login to your VU email.
Course Registration
Course registration information will come directly from your Program Director. For programs that begin in the fall semester, you should receive this in June. Summer start programs should hear from their Program Directors in April or May regarding course registration. If you have questions, you should contact your Program Director first, then reach out to peabody.enrolled@vanderbilt.edu.
