Important Student Information for the Fall 2019 (2201) semester!

Welcome back School of Pharmacy Class of 2021!  Below and attached are some important items intended to make your transition to the classroom as smooth as possible.

Serving You:
The Curran Center for Pharmacy Students is located on the 2nd floor of Salk Hall and is open Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the semester to serve the university. The PharmD Handbook contains the directory and contact information<http://www.pages.pharmacy.pitt.edu/pharmdhandbook/the-pharmd-student-handbook/student-services/personnel/> for this unit.

Updating Contact Information:
The School of Pharmacy uses the contact information you provide in your PeopleSoft record. It is your responsibility to update your contact information. If there is a change in your name or any other personal information, please visit: www.registrar.pitt.edu/personalinfo.html<http://www.registrar.pitt.edu/personalinfo.html>

Follow the instructions below to ensure your contact information for the University is correct. Please log in and update your address by September 1st to ensure your information is up to date.
Log into the my.pitt.edu portal, click on “Self Service”.  Once there, click on Campus Personal Information and then Addresses. Choose the address type, click “Edit” and enter your new address. Address types are HOME as your permanent address and MAILING as the address used during the academic year and can be your permanent or campus address, your preference. If you have an alternate email address, please include by choosing the type of email address as HOME.

Accessing Your Student Schedule:

The dates and times for classes have been confirmed and classrooms have been assigned. Exceptions to the main schedule will be communicated by your instructor. Please review the information and contact Cheryl Sorensen if you are scheduled for more than one elective or if you have any concerns.  Courses should not be appearing as “TBA”.

Follow the instructions below to access your student schedule.
Log into the my.pitt.edu portal, click on “Self Service”.  Once there, click on “More…” under Enrollment. If it is your first time in the screen, you will need to select the term. Click on “My Weekly Schedule” to access your schedule of classes. You can customize how courses display under Options by checking/unchecking boxes and then refreshing the calendar. You can also type in dates in the “Show Week of [date]” fields or browse past or future weeks by clicking on “<<previous week” or “next week>>”.

Adjusting Your Registration:
Please direct all registration requests (add/drop/withdrawal) through me.  As a professional student, all registrations flow through the Academic Records Manager (Registrar) in the School of Pharmacy Student Services per the PharmD Student Handbook.  You should not be dealing with the University Registrar’s Office for these concerns unless instructed.

Pitt Pharmacy Intranet:
Visit the Pitt Pharmacy Intranet for the school calendar of events, PharmD handbook, resources, and useful web links. Access the Intranet by visiting the Pitt Pharmacy home page (pharmacy.pitt.edu<http://www.pharmacy.pitt.edu/>) and then click on Current Faculty, Staff, and Trainees under the Quick Links on the right.
Pitt Pharmacy Intranet Semester Files<http://www.intranet.pharmacy.pitt.edu/category/semester-files/> include the semester course schedule, final exam schedule, and weekly grids.
Class Pages, Student Organizations, and other Resources, including the PharmD Handbook, can be found on the PharmD Student PoRxtal<http://students.pharmacy.pitt.edu/>.

Academic Calendar:
The academic calendar for the University can be found on the Registrar’s Calendars page<http://www.registrar.pitt.edu/calendars.html>.

Change in the University Calendar – Thanksgiving Break:
You may have heard that the University eliminated the undergraduate Fall Break and added those days to the Thanksgiving recess.  However, the School of Pharmacy is part of the professional programs that did not adhere to the university calendar.  As such, you are part of a professional program and are held to a higher standard.  Therefore, PittPharmacy classes will be in session on Monday, November 25th and Tuesday, November 26th.  Please plan accordingly.

Pharmacy Add/Drop and Withdraw Deadline Grids:
Please see attached file. This grid will assist you with making timely decisions for add/drop and withdrawal from courses within the School of Pharmacy. Please check with the Registration Services<http://www.registrar.pitt.edu/enrollment.html> department in the Registrar’s Office if you have a question about the date for adding, dropping or withdrawing from a course in another academic unit.

Final Exam Schedule:
Please use the following attachment for final exam dates. Follow your instructor’s directives on what equipment you will need to be successful in your final exams.

Construction Update:
Construction is underway in Salk Hall!  Do NOT take the elevators above the 4th floor.  Follow the signs on the 4th Floor closely for the alternate ways of accessing 5th Floor rooms.

Mark your calendars –
Registration for the Spring 2020 (2204) term opens on Monday, November 11th.
Dr. Gordon J. Vanscoy White Coat Ceremony will be held on Friday, January 31, 2019, 2:30 p.m. at Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall.
