Welcome to Pratt!
Welcome to a community of makers and innovators. You’ve just joined 130+ years of creative history in the heart of Brooklyn. Now let’s get you ready for fall.

Reserve On-Campus Housing
Due May 1 and June 1
Living on campus puts you steps away from studios, labs, and your creative community.
Here’s how to reserve on-campus housing:
- Submit your $300 housing deposit
Due May 1 - Complete your housing application (including meal plan preferences)
Due June 1
Both are required to guarantee on-campus housing. Applications submitted after the deadline will be waitlisted and housing will be assigned as space becomes available.

Health Forms
Due June 1
New York State requires all students to submit health forms. Complete your Health Evaluation Packet by June 1 to avoid any registration delays.
Forms you’ll need to submit:

- Meningitis: 1 dose within the last 5 years

Pre-register for Classes
Due June 1
After May 1, you’ll receive a pre-registration form via your Pratt email. Complete it by June 1, and your academic advisor will handle the rest.
Once your schedule is set, you’ll get a confirmation with instructions on how to view it online.
Good to know:
- Advisors are assigned by major—find yours through Undergraduate Advising
- You won’t build your schedule yourself; your advisor registers you based on your form
- Need to make changes? A course adjustment period will be available—check Registration Guidelines for details
Keep in mind: Submitting your pre-registration form authorizes Pratt to register you for classes and generate your tuition bill. Your bill will be online starting July 1 and is due August 1.
