Study Abroad for Non-traditional Students  

Welcome to the website for Non-traditional students. On the following pages, a number of questions and issues specific to non-traditional students are addressed to help explain the process. These pages should help non-traditional students decide whether study abroad is right for them, understand the benefits of study abroad, what steps to take once they have decided to participate, how to manage issues that are specific to non-traditional students, and how to market their study abroad experience once students have returned from their programs. There is also a resource that explains tuition remission policies as well as provides student testimonials and travel tips from non-traditional students who have studied abroad.



The Study Abroad Process for Non-traditional Students

University of Pittsburgh Faculty and Staff Tuition Benefits
The University of Pittsburgh encourages international study and endeavors to make available education benefits to eligible faculty, eligible staff, and their eligible dependents.

The eligibility and the benefits are on the same basis as are available for enrollment at each of the five campuses – Oakland, Bradford, Greensburg, Johnstown, and Titusville. Refer to Policies applicable to active faculty and staff and separated faculty and staff for reasons of retirement, disability, or death. On a limited basis, benefits are available on the same basis as are available to faculty and staff who fulfill the requirements for the program for benefits to other institutions, which was discontinued in 1994.

The benefits are applicable to tuition remission transactions which do not require a cash remittance to the institution where the study is taking place and/or the program through which the study is taking place.

(Education benefits programs are distinct and separate from the Tuition Exchange Program which is subject to the policies of the Tuition Exchange Program and as well the policies of the  college or university where the student is matriculating.)

Please note: Final decision as to the eligibility for benefits for a specific program will be made by Faculty Records or Human Resources.
