Pratt Institute and the Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership (the Partnership) recently announced a collaboration to expand the reach of PrattCard, Pratt’s student and faculty identification card, to businesses on the Myrtle Avenue commercial corridor at the start of the Fall 2009 semester.

If you are registering late, tuition is due in full immediately. If you have financial aid that covers you fully, then you are not required to pay by the due date. If however, you have a portion of your tuition you must pay yourself, then that portion must be paid by in order to avoid a late fee.

The Bursar’s office will not extend clearances to allow a student to register for a subsequent semester if the outside scholarship or third-party payment has not been received.

The Bursar's office is responsible for ensuring your funds have been received prior to the posting of the loans or any other financial aid to your accounts. Sometimes, we have to research loans before posting them, which may require us to contact the Financial Aid office, lenders or the guarantee agencies and this can slow down the process.

A: Nothing! We appreciate you notifying us that you are on the payment plan. Students will still receive a bill even if you're on the payment plan. It's simple, if you make any changes that affect your balance and you need to pay more or less, you can adjust your payment plan accordingly!
All students are cleared once you have signed up for TMS. However, TMS cancels you out of the payment plan if you are delinquent 60 days or more with your payment. This will result in an immediate Bursar Hold on registration, transcripts and even graduation! Please make sure your TMS budget plan (and any financial aid) covers your balance In full.

Emergency refunds are considered a CASH ADVANCE and students are solely responsible for making sure the appropriate funds are received to cover tuition balances.

A credit balance on a student's account after applying for Title IV funds (Federal Student Aid funds) will be automatically be refunded, and a check will be mailed to the student within 14 days of the later of the following dates:
1) The date the credit balance occurs
2) The first day of classes of a payment period of enrollment
3) The date the student rescinds his or her authorization to apply Title IV funds to other charges or for the institution to hold excess funds.
Collection Corner
If you have an outstanding tuition balance and if payment in full or payment arrangements are not made, your outstanding tuition balance will be referred to a collection agency. Once the account is referred to an outside collection agency it is then the student’s responsibility to contact the collection agency for arrangements to resolve their debt.
For those students who are on Bursar Hold, due to an outstanding tuition balance, payment in full must be received in order to receive an official transcript, a diploma, or participate in any future registrations. If you have any further questions, please contact Derrick Ligon, accounts receivable manager, in the Bursar’s office at 718-636-3600 Ext. 2615.

A "billing" address may be established, changed, or deleted at any time by writing or visiting the Office of the Registrar. Due dates cannot be extended because bills have not been received. Only Fall and Spring bills are mailed prior to the start of the semester.

The "billing" address is maintained separately for the Bursar's Office and is not affected by changing the "permanent" or "local" addresses. At registration, billing addresses can be changed on the registration data form. At all other times during the year, you must inform the Registrar's Office in writing of the changes required.
