<p>I sent in my $300 enrollment fee/tuition deposit 10 days ago and have not received any emails from Pitt telling me where/how to pay my housing deposit and apply for housing, but from talking to other people I have gotten the impression that I have to complete this process by May 1. Is this correct, and is there a link online to a place where I can pay my housing deposit so that I can fill out my housing contract?</p>
<p>We paid our fee on April 15th and still have not received housing info. Everyone has a different housing deadline depending on when it was sent. We called and our deadline is May 15. Apparently it was sent over a week ago, but at least we still have some time to get it. Did you get the PittStart info?</p>
<p>Yes, I got an email regarding PittStart and registered already.</p>
<p>Be sure you (the student) is watching your email that is on your application. We deposited in March than signed up for Pittstart, then got an email to activate the Pitt.edu email, then lastly, put down the deposit and housing choices. It was a bit confusing and my son had trouble with the email activation. It just stopped running in the middle. We called the IT Help desk and they were wonderful and by the way work 24/7. 412-624-HELP [4357) We had some other questions on housing and Panther Central was helpful–Panther Central anytime at 412-648-1100 or e-mail us at <a href=“mailto:pc@bc.pitt.edu”>pc@bc.pitt.edu</a>
Hope this helps.</p>
<p>mp4352 - I’d give Panther Central a call. I’m sure they will be able to tell you how long it should take from the time one pays the enrollment fee until one receives the housing contract. Since you paid the enrollment fee prior to 5/1, you’re good. </p>

Prospective freshmen who are admitted for the fall term and pay their $300 enrollment fee by May 1st and their $325 housing deposit by the deadline printed on their housing contract are guaranteed on-campus housing. This guarantee is good for three years provided that all housing application and deposit deadlines in each subsequent year are met. Panther Central assigns all first-year on-campus students to rooms in the residence halls. The Housing and Dining Services Contract is for both fall and spring terms.</p>
<p>Whenever you sign into pittstart there should be on your main page where it says Date of Acceptance, Tuition Deposit Date, Dates Registered, Housing Packet Mailed. It should say there when it was sent.</p>
<p>I paid the admin. deposit on April 9th and just received housing info this past Thursday. My info is due on may 15 but the date is indeed different for everyone depending on when you receive it. The process is simple and all of it is available online.</p>
<p>Just for a data point, for those like us who enrolled about a week ago, a bunch of housing contracts are being mailed out today. Due date looks to be May 22 on them.</p>
