Connect with Advising

Your Academic Advisor is 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 your class schedule is appropriate for your plan of study;
  • you are having trouble enrolling in a course that requires a prerequisite;
  • 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 make changes to your course schedule using the edit, add, drop or swap features in Highpoint CX;
  • you have a question about the content of a specific course you are interested in taking;
  • you want to find out how long it takes to get from one building to another;
  • you have a question about whether or not you 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 making a successful transition to college;
  • you want to learn more about opportunities to get involved on campus.

Please contact us by phone at (412) 624-6444 or e-mail at advcentr@pitt.edu. If you're on campus, you can visit us in 201 Thackeray Hall.
