Student Handbooks & Forms

Beginning with the January 2011 semester, Heinz College will count both the units AND the grade for any class taken at another university in Pittsburgh, through the Pittsburgh Consortium on Higher Education (PCHE) arrangement. These classes will appear with units and grades on your Carnegie Mellon University transcript and will factor into your Heinz units and qpa. The University will typically count a 3 credit class elsewhere as 9 units (which will appear on your official transcript), but Heinz will count that same class as 12 units, according to the values we assign to full-semester classes.

Below are links to program handbooks and various forms for our currently enrolled students. This printable information is in PDF format and requires Adobe Acrobat Reader.

H. John Heinz III College adheres to Carnegie Mellon University's governing policies, which are available on the University's website.

Update on Pittsburgh Council on Higher Education (PCHE) Cross-Registration:

Outgoing students (CMU students) must be registered for 36 units BEFORE adding the PCHE course. No exceptions, except for approved joint programs. PCHE courses cannot count toward full-time status.
Students must maintain 36 units of CMU courses throughout the semester, or will be dropped from PCHE courses.
