How do I make an appointment with Health Services?

I missed a class due to illness. Can Health Services provide me with an “Excused Absence”?
Health Services does not provide students with “excused absences.” If the student has been evaluated by a healthcare provider and it has been determined that they are not well enough to attend classes, the student can discuss it with their professors and request confirmation from the Health Center.
Why do I have a health hold on my student account?
Most health holds indicate that you are missing or have submitted an incomplete Health Evaluation packet, which includes immunization records, tuberculosis testing, and a recent physical examination. If you have not submitted a health evaluation, you can find more information at https://www.pratt.edu/healthevaluation. If you have previously submitted a form but still have a hold, please check your Pratt email for notices regarding missing information or contact us at health@pratt.edu.

It may take several weeks for your bill to be updated. Please contact Student Financial Services at sfs@pratt.edu or at 718.636.3599 for more information.

I have graduated. Can I still visit the Health Center?
The Health Center cannot treat students after they have graduated. We recommend consulting with your provider during the semester before graduation to make a plan for transitioning to another healthcare provider for after graduation.

For students graduating in the Spring, health insurance coverage ends on August 17th. For students graduating in the Fall, coverage ends on January 14th. Students staying in New York can visit the New York State Health Plan Marketplace for more information on how to purchase and enroll in a health plan.
