Registration

Your first-year classes are pre-determined by the Registrar. The Pratt Munson Registrar also serves as the academic advisor. Students will receive their class schedule by mid-July.   

International students whose first language is not English will be required to take our in-house English Placement Test to assess the level of English proficiency unless they submit a TOEFL score of at least 600 or an IELTS score of 7.5. You may be required to take Intensive English classes concurrently with your degree program courses.   

Academic Calendar: 2023/2024   

Visit the Registrar page or contact by email or calling 315-797-0000 ext. 2152

Billing/Payment Options

Upon completion of registration, the Student Accounting Office will prepare the appropriate invoice. Invoices include all charges, pending financial aid and payment received to date. Full payment of the balance due, establishment of a monthly payment plan with Nelnet, or certification of financial aid (i.e. student loans, parent loans, alternative loans, or scholarships, etc.) to cover the balance due must be in place prior to the due date on the invoice. Failure to pay on time may result in the assessment of late fees.   

One-time online payment for the full payment of the balance due can be made through Nelnet Campus Commerce (Nelnet). E-checks (automatic deductions from your checking account) are processes with no additional fees. If using a credit or debit card, there is an additional fee that is disclosed once you enter the card information. Log on to https://online.campuscommerce.com/signin/4NR0T to make a one-time balance due payment.   

Monthly installment payment arrangements can also be made with Nelnet. This payment method is not a loan. A non-refundable participation fee is required to establish an account. Log on to https://online.campuscommerce.com/signin/4NR0T to establish a monthly payment plan.

Relocating to the Brooklyn campus

You must complete the first two years at Pratt Munson before you will be able to relocate to Brooklyn. You may not relocate to Brooklyn after completing only one year at Pratt Munson. The transition to the Brooklyn campus is automatic and seamless; no application is required to relocate. Approximately 95 percent of students choose to relocate to Brooklyn. When you relocate, you will start as a junior in your program as long as you remain in the major in which you were enrolled in at Pratt Munson. You will complete your degree in two years as long as you meet all requirements for your degree. Upon graduation, your bachelor’s degree will be awarded by Pratt Institute.
