For your AP credits you have to have your scores sent to Pratt Admissions and see the transfer evaluator. I would like to take credits at another school this summer. You need to get a Permission to Take Credits at Another School for Credits at Pratt Form from the Registrar's Office. Only three of those credits can be Liberal Arts. Any Art History courses over the 12 credits needed will be used as Studio Electives.
Foundation courses are prerequisite to upper departmental courses.
If you wan to get any Foundation put off you will need a note from the Foundation Chairperson. You are required to have a 3.0 GPA to take Independent Study. If you need to take more than 18 credits you would have to show that you would be able to handle 18 credits by previous grade and credit history. You would need at least a 3.0 cumulative index and show that you were carrying more than 15 credits in the previous year. You will be charged for every credit over 18 that you take.
