When can I register?
On your registration date AND after you have met with your Advisor to get your Advisor-Approval.

Who is my Advisor?
If you are an undergraduate student, you must contact Academic Advising on 4th floor in the Main Building. If you are a graduate student, your Advisors are DDA Chairperson Peter Patchen and Assistant Chairperson Melissa Barrett Lundquist.

What do I need to do before I register?
Your courses need Advisor-Approval before you could register for a section. Approval does not reserve your seat for the course, you still need to actually register on my.pratt.edu.

Do I have to meet with my advisor in order to register?
Yes!

How do I change my schedule?
Contact your advisor to get approval and then go to my.pratt.edu.

How do I change sections?
Go to my.pratt.edu and add the section you want and delete other section.

I tried to register for my class, and I’m approved, and the system won’t accept my request. What gives?
You must be approved by your Advisor first. If you waited too long to register, then the course may be full.

I can’t login to the system. Who do I bother about this?
Contact the registrar at reg@pratt.edu.

I don’t understand why the system won’t allow me to register when I see that there is space in the class.
The system will not allow you to register if you have not fulfilled the prerequisities for the course.

How do I register for a class outside of DDA?
You must contact the department you are interested in taking a course with and get approval from them before registering for the course.

How do I register for an internship for credit this semester?
You must speak with Assistant Chairperson Melissa Barrett Lundquist to get approval before you can register.

How do I register for an independent study?
You must have applied for an independent study and been accepted, and have done all of this BEFORE the Add/Drop period. Please see the Student Handbook for information on applying for an independent study course.

I am getting blocked for completing my registration. Who do I bother about this?
If you have Advisor-Approval, you need to contact the Bursar or Registrar.

Do I have to register for all my classes at the same time?
No, you can register for sections throughout registration after your registration appointment.

What is an Educational Plan and worksheet?
An Educational Plan is record of planned courses you are permitted to register for in the present and future terms. The Worksheet is a modifiable list of suggested and approved courses you have not yet registered for.

What is a Course Planning Worksheet?
A Course Planning Worksheet is an online "scratch pad" where you can plan courses to take for the next term or for your entire college program. A worksheet replaces the handwritten forms that you needed previously when planning your courses and working with advisors. When you place a course on your worksheet and click Submit, the course displays for your advisor to approve in WebAdvisor. Please note that when you place a course on a worksheet, you are only planning for it -- you are not actually registering for the course.

What's the difference between a Course Planning Worksheet and a Student Educational Plan?
You plan a program using a Course Planning Worksheet. Your advisor plans and approves courses for that program using a Student Educational Plan. A Student Educational Plan shows all courses that have been planned, including courses you've registered for or completed. Only an advisor can place courses on your official Student Educational Plan. You can view your Student Educational Plan, but only an advisor can change it.

What do the numbers in the Available/Capacity column mean?
There are always two numbers in this column. You will see this information on the Search for Sections results page and also in your Preferred Sections list. The first number (on the left) is the number of seats available in that particular section. If the number states 2, then there are 2 seats left in that section. If another student registers for the class, then that number will drop down to 1. When the number reaches zero, the section will change from Open to Closed and no further registrations will be possible. The second number is the capacity or maximum size of the course section.

Why does the Status column say Closed but the Available/Capacity column say that there are still seats in the section?
Sometimes several course sections are linked together in what's called a cross listing. While students may register for different section numbers, the total count of students is higher than what appears on line. If 4 sections are cross-listed and 5 students are registered in each section, the total enrollment in the cross listed group is 20. This total can close a group of sections even if the Available/Capacity column looks like there are still seats in the section.
