Tuition
& Fees
Tuition
rates are based on whether or not you are
a permanent resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. A higher
tuition rate is charged to non-residents.
- Higher tuition rate is charged to non-residents.
If you have lived in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for 12 consecutive
months immediately prior to enrollment at any college or university
in the state, you may be eligible for reduced tuition rates.
- To qualify, you must also be a citizen of the
United States or have a U. S. immigrant/permanent resident visa.
- If you are under 21 years of age, you are presumed
to have the same domicile as your parents.
Copies of the detailed "University
of Pittsburgh Tuition Eligibility Guidelines" are available
upon request in the Student Appeals Office, located in G-12 Thackeray
Hall.
If you are admitted to the University but do not
automatically qualify for reduced tuition rates, you may petition
for the resident rate by supplying additional information to be reviewed
by the Student Appeals Coordinator. To be effective for a
particular term, petitions must be submitted within the first 30
calendar days of the term or 15 calendar days of the session.
NOTE: Due dates will not be extended
and late payment or late registration fees will not be waived for
any reasons related to the determination of eligibility for reduced
tuition.
Should you change your domicile from Pennsylvania
to another state you must promptly give written notice to the University.
In addition, if you are under 21 years of age you must report any
change in your parents' or legal guardians' address.
If you are found eligible for resident tuition rates
at the time of your initial classification due to an error, you are
subject to retroactive reclassification as a non-resident and are
responsible for the payment of all related tuition and fees.
You can contact the Student Appeals Office by telephone
at (412) 624-7610 or by email at: PAtuitioneligibility@bc.pitt.edu.

Full-time vs. Part-time
The University of Pittsburgh is comprised
of several academic centers and tuition rates vary among them.
- Undergraduate students registered
for 12 to 18 credits in the Fall and Spring Terms are regarded
as full-time students, and are assessed the current undergraduate "flat" tuition
rate for their academic center.
- Undergraduate students registered
for 11.5 or fewer credits are considered part-time, and are billed
on a per-credit basis.
- Graduate students registered
for 9 to 15 credits in the Fall and Spring Terms are regarded as
full-time students, and are assessed the current graduate "flat" tuition
rate for their academic center.
- Graduate students registered
for 8.5 or fewer credits are considered part-time, and billed on
a per-credit basis.
- Students will be charged per credit for each
credit exceeding the maximum full-time credit limit.
