It is important to note that it is always the student's responsibility to know what they owe and arrange timely payment.

Students are assigned to a catalog year at the time of admission. Each time they change their program or major the change occurs within the catalog year that they were admitted. Students that leave Pratt and get re-admitted are re-admitted to the catalog requirements in effect at the time of re-admission (the "new" requirements). If any deviation of catalog year is needed, advisors should contact the Registrar's office in writing to request it.

The help desk is open Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The help desk staff replies to queries in the order that they are received. During periods of heavy traffice it may take 1 to 2 business days for the help desk to reply to your query, but in most cases the replies are able to be made the same working day.

If there is only one course that will fill a certain requirement for graduation, then that is the only class that you need to plan for. If you are planning for electives, it is always a good idea to plan for more than you will need so that if one class gets full, you still have another registration option already approved.

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.

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.

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.

The course planning wizard automatically evaluates the progress you've made in your program. This may take a moment. Then the wizard steps you through the program requirements, one at a time, to help find courses you still need in order to meet the requirements of the program.

You are provided with a separate Course Planning Worksheet for each program. Each time you plan courses, you're asked to confirm which program you want to plan. Always check that the program shown is the one you intend to plan.

The program evaluation can be run in one of two ways: automatically as part of the course planning wizard, or you can select Degree Audit. The audit checks your progress in the program by looking at four areas: your requirements, the academic credits you've already earned, the courses for which you're registered, and the courses which you or your advisor have planned. Based on that information, the audit determines what you still need in order to complete your program.

If you want to search the catalog of courses offered by your institution, select Create/Add to Worksheet to use the Catalog Search and Add form. This allows you to enter criteria for searching, and then add one or more of the courses you find to the worksheet.

Yes, if you know the exact course number, such as ENG 101, select Create/Add to Worksheet to add the course to the worksheet. Just Select ENGLISH from the drop-down list of subjects, and then enter 101 in the Course Number field on the same line.

These are innovative and powerful tools, but as with any new tool, it takes time to learn to use them effectively. You are encouraged to use Help when planning courses. Many of the questions you may have are answered in depth. Just click on Help. If you still have questions, see your advisor, check the online documentation, watch the simulation video, and/or attending a training session.

Your advisor has access to your educational plan and may add courses at any time. These courses will display with "Advisor" in the Added By column, and can be changed or removed only by your advisor.

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.

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.
