Understanding and supporting students admitted under the test-optional process

The University Center for Teaching and Learning in collaboration with the Office of the Provost presents a series of virtual workshops on Student Success for the fall 2021 term. We know Pitt faculty are committed to the welfare and success of your students. Sometimes, putting these ideas into practice can be challenging and complex. Given the demographics of our students are changing at Pitt, we aim to provide practical tools to increase the efficiency of your daily work in your interactions with students. Join us in conversations to support all students as we return to campus this fall.

In this session, we will provide an overview of the test-optional admissions policy at Pitt and data from the current admissions cycle for fall 2021. We will also identify and discuss possible implications and strategies for student success to support all our students as we prepare for the fall term.

Presenters:

April Belback, Director of Undergraduate Advising & Mentoring, Office of the Provost 

Michael W. Bridges, Director of Teaching Commons, University Center for Teaching and Learning 

Kellie Kane, Executive Director of Admissions and Associate Vice Provost for Enrollment 

Julia Ehlis, Assistant Director, Admissions and Financial Aid 

This meeting will be recorded.
