Pitt IT Welcomes You to the University of Pittsburgh!
Account Information
Most things at Pitt will be accessed using your singular Pitt account, which will be provided for you either once you finish on boarding with Human Resources, or your account is created separately. In most cases you should receive an activation email after on boarding with information about activating your account.
Since your Pitt account is the key to the University, it's important that you do not share your password with anyone at any time. Passwords will require changing every 6 months.
