Case Management
We have all been there - that class that did not go as planned, a major or career path that was not what you expected, or a semester where life obstacles happened and took our attention from classes. We can ignore it and be frustrated, or we can choose to embrace it as an opportunity to learn more about ourselves and what motivates us.
Special Needs Services
At Pratt Community College, special needs services are provided, in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, in order to improve access to educational opportunities. If you had an Individualized Education Plan (IEP), used academic accommodations in high school and/or you are interested in using accommodations at PCC you should submit a request to the Student Success Center. We will schedule a meeting to discuss your needs.
Accommodations and Counseling Services
We are your first point of contact when requesting accommodation services from PrattCC. We will process and review all requests for academic accommodations and liaison with faculty to ensure they are aware of of any student academic accommodations. We provide clinical mental health services and outreach to support PrattCC students. Our services are free of charge, if you are needing someone to talk to please reach out to us!

Data-Informed Practices
Our office leverages data-informed practices to bolster student retention, persistence, and completion rates. We utilize data-informed practices coupled with an understanding of our students' diversity to advocate for removing barriers stopping students from achieving their goals.
Academic Advising for Specific Populations
We are your first stop shop in the enrollment process because within our office you will start by declaring a major and be assigned an academic advisor to guide you during your time here at PrattCC. The Student Success Center does advise during certain periods of the year and there are a couple of student populations that are advised from out office. If you are in one of those populations that are advised out of our office, we will let you know during the enrollment period.
