Academic Advising Coordination

A Shared Vision of Student Success  

At Pitt, we apply best practices in academic advising as a shared value toward improving student success measures. To streamline the student experience, boost student success, and align with the Plan for Pitt 2028, the University of Pittsburgh employs a shared model of advising on the Pittsburgh campus. We work intentionally with each academic unit to standardize collaborative and holistic advising practices for every student.
