The Student Success Hub exists as a space for students to collaborate with each other and with University resources.
With rooms available to reserve for group work, spaces to study, and on-demand academic resources and coaches, the Student Success Hub serves as a place for every student to feel like they belong and will succeed at Pitt.
Student Success Hub staff provides holistic academic coaching for students who are exploring different majors/minors/certificates/distinctions, changing colleges/schools, or might be in need or academic interventions.
This workshop series focuses on topics that will give you a foundation for success. Past workshops have covered technology resources, social psychology insights that help give a competitive edge, and dealing with test anxiety.
The University of Pittsburgh works with partners across the institution to ensure students at every stage have the support they need to finish their Pitt degree—including those who may have to take a break from their studies for various reasons or are new to Pitt.
