Nontraditional Student Week
Celebrate Nontraditional Student Week from November 2 to 6 with the McCarl Center. This is a great opportunity to meet other students, take a break from academic tasks, and be appreciated for your efforts as you work towards your degree at Pitt. We will have engaging activities, interactive stations, and drop-in hours with staff.
The McCarl Center for Nontraditional Student Success serves as a hub for adult students in CGS and Dietrich.
Making the commitment to earn an undergraduate degree is commendable. As you pursue your academic goals, take career steps, and find your place at the University of Pittsburgh, we are here to connect you with resources and opportunities. You can meet with professionals equipped to offer guidance to adult students: A CGS Career Counselor based in the Career Center and an Academic Coach based in Study Lab.
Located on the first floor of the Wesley W. Posvar Hall, the McCarl Center is set up with a lounge, computer station, and quiet study room that are open during business hours.
