Summer Sessions Registration Begins March 19

PITT IS IT for summer sessions! Pitt is the place to be this summer to complete final general education or specialized requirements needed to graduate; finish core and prerequisite courses; enroll in popular courses and labs that fill quickly during the fall and spring terms; explore subjects in your major without the pressure of a full class load; accelerate your graduation timeline; and raise your GPA. With more than 500 courses offered during day and evening hours, you have the flexibility to enroll in courses without having to miss out on summer jobs, internships, or family vacations.

On-campus housing is available in Litchfield Towers B for all undergraduate students taking summer sessions courses.

Registration begins March 19. For more information, visit www.summer.pitt.edu.
