Academic Referral (Pittsburgh Campus)

An Academic Referral (Pittsburgh Campus) should be made when a faculty or staff member learns that a student is struggling academically; dealing with a personal issue that may interfere with academics or require coordination with the instructor; or is not attending classes. All primary and secondary instructors, as well as other staff across campus with Pathways access can log in to Pathways to make an academic referral.

View instructions about how to issue the referral in the Pathways platform. More information about the referral process.
