Connect with Advising

Your Academic Advisor is your number one resource here at the University.  They are here to help you explore your academic and career goals, connect you with the resources and opportunities available to you, and help you understand the policies and procedures as you navigate the enrollment process and transition to the University. Please do not hesitate to reach out to your academic advisor for any questions or concerns that may arise, they are happy to help.

Contact your Academic Advisor if:

  • you have a question about whether or not the schedule you have put together is appropriate for your first term.  
  • you want to enroll in a higher level course that requires a prerequisite of something for which you will receive AP/IB/CIE/Dual Enrollment credit. 
  • you have a question about the Dietrich School's policies and procedures.
  • you have a question about how academic advising works.
  • you have a question about how to prepare for entry into another school's program.

Have a quick question? Maybe a Peer Advisor can help.  Peer Advisors will be on hand throughout the summer to address quick enrollment questions and concerns. They have been through this before, so who better to ask for help navigating your way around Pitt?

Contact a Peer Advisor if:

  • you have a question about how to adjust your schedule using the EDIT, ADD, DROP or SWAP features.
  • you have a question about the content of a specific course you are interested in taking.
  • you want to find out if it really only takes 10 minutes to get from one building to another on campus.
  • you have a question about whether or not you need, or should take a specific placement exam.
  • you want to find out if a course satisfies a specific general education requirement.
  • you have a question about the differences between High School and College.
