Registration

In order to attend any course at Pratt Institute, a student must:

1. Be formally approved for admission
2. Have a program of courses approved by an academic advisor online (more information)
3. Register for the approved courses online at my.pratt.edu (need help registering online?)
4. Pay prescribed tuition and fees
   Students are fully responsible for tuition and fees after completion of Steps 1 through 3.

Instructors will not admit unregistered students into classes. Proof of official registration may be obtained in the Office of the Registrar or online at My.Pratt. Credits and grades will not be recorded for courses taken without a valid registration.

Official registration dates can be found in the Academic Guide (see calendar section). Responsibility for a correct registration and a correct academic record rests entirely with the student. Students are responsible for knowing regulations regarding withdrawals, refund deadlines, program changes, and academic policies.

Registration processing for each spring term typically begins around the end of October and the beginning of November. Registration processing for the summer and fall terms begins around the end of March and the beginning of April. A student’s registration date is displayed under their name when they login to My.Pratt. Online registration is done on Academic Tools, the portion of the Pratt website that allows students to register for classes, add or drop classes, view their grades, and review their degree audit.

For more information see the guidelines for registration.

Academic Advisement

All students are required to meet with an academic advisor prior to registering for classes. Academic departments start the advisement process earlier than the first day of registration. This is done to make sure that large departments will have enough time to meet with all of their students and to help them make good decisions tailored to their needs and academic requirements. Watch for email announcements sent to your Pratt account and online notifications regarding the registration dates, procedures, and deadlines. Following these procedures (and getting good grades) will ensure a timely graduation. Check the Institute Bulletin, the Pratt Academic Calendar, and the Academic Guide (available in the Registrar's Office) for registration and payment deadlines. Careful attention to these dates will prevent late charges and cancellation of your schedule.
