Additional Instructional Times Offered for Classes
Affected by Pitt Campus Closings

University of Pittsburgh students whose classes on the Pittsburgh campus were canceled because of record snowfall can make up those classes on two upcoming Saturdays. Pitt is communicating with its faculty, through the deans, about options for additional instructional time. Arrangements have been made to hold classes on the following days:

Monday’s classes will be made up on Saturday, March 27.

Tuesday’s classes are rescheduled for Saturday, April 17.

Classes missed on Saturday or Wednesday will not have an alternative class day offered.
Instructors may make arrangements other than meeting on these Saturdays to cover the missed course material, but these alternative arrangements are to be clearly conveyed to students during the coming week.

The University expressed confidence that Pitt faculty and students, working together, can address any conflicts or special circumstances.
