Find Your Advisor

At the University of Pittsburgh, advising and mentoring are integral to the University’s educational mission as we “aim to prepare you for a life of impact through educational experiences tailored to your specific goals and needs.” As such, we advocate collaborative and holistic advising interactions.  

Not sure on who to contact or where to start? The Student Success Hub in 217 Langley Hall is a great place to begin your search. You can do so by visiting in person or by reaching out anytime at studentsuccess@pitt.edu.

Each undergraduate college and school at the Pittsburgh campus has advisors who actively engage with students.
