Access Requirements

Pratt Institute requires all students, faculty, and staff who will be on our campuses to be vaccinated for COVID-19 and be up to date. You are up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines when you have received all doses in the primary series and all boosters recommended for you, when eligible. 

Students (international or domestic), faculty, or staff who are not up to date with their COVID-19 vaccination, or have an approved exemption are required to participate in the weekly on-campus testing program and follow the guidelines outlined in our FAQs.

In addition, Pratt Institute asks each member of our community to pledge accountability by signing the social contract, agreeing to abide by requirements and expectations that will contribute significantly toward reducing the spread of COVID-19.
