Action Required for Departments that Direct Users to myPitt
We Need Your Help. Please Take Action.
We're launching new versions of myPitt and Pitt Mobile this summer, and we want to ensure a smooth transition for all students, faculty, and staff.
If your department has web pages, emails, or other materials that direct users to myPitt, please update those materials as soon as possible by following the guidelines in our Content Transition Overview document.
You can also contact our Technology Help Desk and submit a case with "myPitt Content Transition" in the Subject field. We'll follow up to discuss your needs and develop a strategy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What materials might my department need to update?
You may have a variety of materials that reference myPitt. Consider reviewing the following items:
- Printed materials (brochures, letters, posters, postcards, etc.)
- Email templates
- Direct or "deep" links into myPitt locations
- Screen shots
- Documentation instructing users to access services via the My Resources menu
Do I need to update links to my.pitt.edu?
No. Any references to my.pitt.edu will redirect to the new myPitt after it launches.
Do I need to update "deep" or direct links to myPitt content?
Yes. Any link longer than my.pitt.edu needs to be updated. For example, these links would not work after the new myPitt launches:
- https://my.pitt.edu/portal/server.pt/community/my_pitt_home/805
- https://my.pitt.edu/portal/server.pt/community/human_resources/395
Do I need to update links to askcathy.pitt.edu?
No. Links to askcathy.pitt.edu will continue to work but will redirect to my.pitt.edu.
Do I need to update links to AskCathy Task Centers?
No. Links to AskCathy Task Centers will continue to work but will redirect to my.pitt.edu.
- Current Task Center link: https://askcathy.pitt.edu/collection/all/my-pitt-student-services
- Future Task Center link: https://my.pitt.edu/collection/all/my-pitt-student-services
What if I need to finalize and send materials before the new myPitt launches?
We can work with you to create a short link (for example, pi.tt/yourcontent). The short link can be updated after launch to point to your content's new location.
