Campus Access
Please read the following carefully. Anyone arriving at the gates without completing the following steps will be denied access to campus.
Fall Access Requirements
Pratt Institute requires all students, faculty, and staff who will be on our campuses to be fully vaccinated for the fall 2021 semester.
Everyone is required to submit an electronic copy of their COVID-19 vaccination documentation online 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, will be tested weekly and must follow these guidelines outlined in our FAQs.
In addition, Pratt Institute asks 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.
