Pratt encourages all students to sign up for the Pratt emergency alert
PRATT EMERGENCY ALERT - EMERGENCY TEXT and EMAIL MESSAGING
The Pratt Emergency Alert System is the quickest way to get vital information about any building or campus emergencies.
But, Pratt ALERT also offers you the convenience of timely notifications of campus closings due to inclement weather. Have you ever left your home, dorm, or work place during a snow storm wondering if the campus would be open when you get there? Pratt ALERT will provide you with that information moments after the decision to close the campus is made, saving you a treacherous trip.
Signing up is as quick and simple as:
1. LOGIN to my.pratt.edu.
2. CLICK on the Emergency Alert Notification
Symbol located on the dashboard.
3. ENTER your contact information.
You may go back anytime to update your contact info if it changes.
The Pratt ALERT system will be used for emergencies and school closings only. Your information will not be used in any other way.
New student orientation is VERY important. Plan to attend!
