To make an appointment with an FP staff member, you will need to download a mobile app called Navigate Student. Navigate Student is an app that you’ll use for many resources and services at Pitt. It will tip you off to important events coming up, can help you find the right fit major, connect you with support, allow you to make appointments with advisors, and stay ahead of roadblocks.
This app is available in the Apple Store or Google Play Store, and you can search for it by typing “Navigate Student”. It is also available on the web.
Once you download the app, you will be prompted to select your school (type in: University of Pittsburgh)
You will be asked to sign in with your Pitt username and password
You will be asked to authenticate your login using two-factor authentication.
