You are here! From our green campus to our creative community, Pratt is the place to be your very best.
Welcome Class of 2026!
Please visit this page frequently throughout the year for important updates and information.
The Commencement ceremony date will be announced by December (and hopefully sooner)!
If you have completed your credit requirements (or will complete them by Summer 2026), you MUST fill out the Graduation Application (GradApp) by December 31, 2025. This application will let us know you have completed your journey at Pratt Institute and are ready to receive your diploma! This will also get you on the mailing list for information about the Commencement ceremony.
Pratt Institute will host a commencement ceremony to celebrate the hard work and achievements of our Summer 2025, Fall 2025, Winter 2026, Spring 2026, and Summer 2026 graduates.

Graduating is the administrative process to complete your degree and receive your diploma, while Commencement is the ceremony to celebrate that achievement! You can graduate without participating in commencement, but you cannot participate in commencement without graduating.
The deadline to fill out the Graduation Application (GradApp) is December 31.
