A student with a physical, mental health or other disability in need of special housing or dietary needs should indicate that on their housing application, but must also get in contact with the Learning/Access Center (L/AC) to inquire about the process to request an accommodation.
The L/AC will determine what documentation is needed to enroll with the L/AC and determine reasonable accommodations.
Inquiries relating to Emotional Support Animals should also be directed to the L/AC.
To ensure consideration of the special housing accommodations, applications and documentation for qualifying conditions must be received by March 1 for returning students, and April 30 for incoming new students for the fall semester. For the spring semester, documentation and requests must be received by November 15. Email lac@pratt.edu with any related questions.
Are ESAs permitted on campus?
Students who wish to bring an emotional support animal to campus housing must be registered with and approved by the L/AC prior to bringing the animal to the residence halls. If approved, students must also abide by the ESA policy and student responsibilities.
We will notify you by email if we are able to offer you campus housing; you will receive a room offer by email and will have a short period of time to accept the assignment offer. Offers not accepted by the deadline will be canceled and offered to the next student if there is a waitlist.
A housing deposit of $300 is required as part of the housing application process.
Students who have scholarships that pay for housing will be exempt from the housing deposit and will not see this requirement on their housing application.
Students are assigned rooms with consideration for preferences indicated on the housing application. Specific requests for buildings, room types, etc., cannot be guaranteed. If none of your preferences are available, we will automatically make an assignment to a room type that is available.
Campus housing space is limited so we cannot guarantee that we will be able to assign students to their preferred spaces. There may be limited time periods during the start or end of semesters where we may offer a room change period, at which time students may request a room change.
Students who have received a room assignment offer as part of the housing application process may choose not to accept the room offer if they feel the space does not meet their needs and are free to secure alternative and off campus housing.
