Due to high enrollment requests we utilize a Qualtrics survey for permission code requests, please only complete the survey one time.

Summer EMT Qualtrics Survey:

https://pitt.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_diojsvfssn8Blv8

Permission codes will TENTATIVELY be distributed beginning February 11th, 2024.

Please note that your enrollment period may begin before permission codes are distributed. We are not able to determine the likelihood of you getting a permission code. The permission code distribution is on a rolling basis with a pre-determined selection process. Permission codes are distributed via Pitt email. You will have 72 hours to use the permission code. If the code is unused, we will move on to the next student on the list. You do not need to take any additional steps to get on the waiting list. If it comes to a point where you are unlikely to receive a permission code, we will let you know.

Please note: Completing this survey does not guarantee that you will be given a permission code. Permission codes are distributed based on a number of factors set by the program.
