The safety of our students, faculty, and staff is our top priority. See below for more information on what you can expect during your visit.
Effective January 19th, both the Brooklyn and Manhattan Campuses will be open from 7am to 12 midnight, 7 days per week to all current students, faculty and staff who have met the necessary campus access requirements.
Before returning to campus, all students, faculty and staff should review the campus access checklist below for important details.
Fall Access Requirements
Pratt Institute will require all students, faculty, and staff who will be on our campuses to be fully vaccinated for the fall 2021 semester.
Everyone will be required to submit an electronic copy of their COVID-19 vaccination documentation online by July 30th before arriving on campus, with the exception of limited approved medical or religious exemptions. Please follow the instructions on the vaccine page.
Students (international or domestic), faculty, and staff members who cannot be vaccinated before arriving in New York, or who have only received one dose of a two-dose vaccine, or who have not met the requirements of full vaccination, must follow these guidelines outlined in our FAQs.
In addition, Pratt Institute is asking each member of our community to pledge accountability by signing the social contract for students, faculty, and staff, agreeing to abide by requirements and expectations that will contribute significantly toward reducing the spread of COVID-19.
