Meet Your CGS Advisor
At the College of General Studies, we know every student has a unique story. Whether you’re returning to school, juggling work and family, or starting your first degree, your CGS advisor is here to help you navigate your path at Pitt. Think of your advisor as your personal guide, advocate, and cheerleader — someone who supports you and helps you reach your goals.
How to Make the Most of Advising
- Advising works best when it’s a partnership. Here’s how you can get the most out of your meetings:
- Take charge of your journey. Learn to plan your courses, map out your degree, and stay on track to graduate.
- Know the basics. Get familiar with University and CGS policies and requirements.
- Come prepared. Bring accurate, up-to-date info to every advising session.
- Stay in the loop. Check my.pitt.edu
