PA Tuition Rate Eligibility Petition

NOTE: Faculty, staff, their spouses and their dependents who are U.S. Citizens do not need to complete a petition for in-state tuition rates. Instead, submit a request to Human Resources at https://www.hr.pitt.edu/contact-ohr to request certification of employment for in-state tuition. You will be classified as a PA resident per University policies AC 21 and ER 06 once your education benefits are certified and you are enrolled in classes.
