If you graduated in 2016 or later you should use Pittsburgh Technical College. If you graduated before 2016, use Pittsburgh Technical Institute.
Are alumni permitted to use the computer labs?
We welcome graduates to the North Fayette Campus to visit, to share their latest successes – and to use the computer labs for job search and career development purposes.
Regular hours of operation are 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday; and 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, and closed Sunday.
Print Center hours are slightly different: 7:15 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 7:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday; and closed on Saturday and Sunday.
Registration through Career Services (weekdays) or Reception (weekends) is necessary to secure a user name and password valid for one day computer lab use. Contact Career Services at 412.809.5154 or 1.800.784.9675, ext. 5154 or Reception at 412.809.5100. Graduates must adhere to the computer use and electronics communication policy posted in the computer labs – just like they did as students.
