Center for Student Success
The Center for Student Success includes a variety of professional services for prospective, active, and graduated students.
We advocate for students' academic success and promote faculty and staff engagement. The University's Student Success Hub offers collaborative study spaces, on-demand academic coaches, and reservable rooms for group work. Undergraduate nursing students are encouraged to take advantage of these university-wide resources as a complement to the support available through the School of Nursing.
Specific services provided by the Center for Student Success include:
Faculty and staff questions related to term scheduling, room reservations, PeopleSoft, Canvas, student concerns and grades are directed to contact PittNursing@pitt.edu or call the Center for Student Success front desk at 412-624-4586 for guidance.
Focusing on the success of each student, the Center for Student Success has advisors for students enrolled in all academic programs. Students meet with their advisors a minimum of one time per term. Appointments with undergraduate student advisors are scheduled via the Navigate Student app. Walk-in office hours are also offered by each advisor.
