To request a permission number to enroll in a Neuroscience course, please review the notes below.
Closed Class, Requisites Not Met, Department Consent Required, and Career Restriction: Consent to enroll in a course must be obtained from the instructor teaching the course and must be in written, email form to be uploaded within the Qualtrics form. The consent document from the instructor must indicate:
the name and number of the course,
the PeopleSoft 5 digit Class Number (e.g., Intro to Neuroscience, NROSCI 1000, 10213),
the student’s full name and PeopleSoft #, and the reason for the consent (closed class, prerequisite, etc.)
AP scores and/or transfer pre-requisite courses not yet posted to Pitt record: You will need to upload your AP report or transcript within the Qualtrics form.
Now, visit https://pitt.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_87dYJ93G8GBkCyi to submit your request. Once you have submitted the Qualtrics form it will be reviewed and if approved, you will be automatically enrolled. If we are unable to enroll you for any reason a permission number will be generated and emailed to you to use for self-enrollment. All correspondance will come from nroadv@pitt.edu.
We are unable to provide permission to override the waitlist for any reason.
To enroll in Neuroscience Research (NROSCI 1901, 1961, 1962) or Undergraduate Teaching Assistant (NROSCI 1097) credits visit https://neuroscienceforms.pitt.edu/ and complete a request. Please pay close attention to the registration calendar and the term in which you indicate you want the credits added to your schedule. Any requests made outside the registration period must be followed up with your advisor.
Your request is not an immediate enrollment. That is why our deadline is well before the DSAS enrollment deadline. It is routed to the Principal Investigator (PI) and an applicable Research Mentor (RM) you identify when submitting your request. Upon their approval, Neuro faculty will review and approve or reject your request. If approved, you will be automatically enrolled or will receive a permission number if unable to enroll for any reason. If rejected, you will receive an email outlining what next steps to take. This process usually takes several days to complete. It is up to you to check your schedule and ensure you are enrolled as planned. We thank you for your patience.
