General Policies
- The Registrar’s Office must have the student’s written request or authorization to issue a transcript. Parents cannot authorize the Registrar’s Office to mail a transcript.
- Official Transcripts bear the Institute’s seal and Registrar’s signature.
- Partial transcripts are not issued. A transcript is a complete record of all work completed at Pratt.
- Allow five (5) business days after receipt of the transcript request for the transcript to be mailed. At certain peak times, such as registration and commencement, the processing time may be longer.
- Copies of transcripts from other schools that were attended must be requested directly from those schools. The Registrar’s office cannot release or copy transcripts in a student’s file.

- Last 4 digits of social security number or 7-digit Pratt ID number
- Date of birth
- Telephone number
- Dates of attendance and/or graduation date
