Housing move-in will take place on Sunday, June 8, from 12 p.m. - 4 p.m. Students with late flights will be able to move in into the afternoon/evening as their flights arrive. Address for GPS: 157 Chapel Hill Rd, Pittsburgh, PA 15232. Students will check in with an RA to receive their room key. 

Housing move-out can take place as early as Thursday, June 19 (if staying with family visiting for the showing), or extend as late as Saturday, June 21 (if a flight is scheduled for Saturday). Most students move out on Friday, June 20, either before or after the showing, depending on their travel plans.  

All commuter students (those NOT staying at Chatham University's campus) have the option to sign up for the commuter lunch program. This add-on covers for a student to receive a catered lunch each day of the program (10 lunches). Meals are provided by Parkhurst, the catering company associated with our dormitory partner. They are diverse, healthy meals that cater to all dietary needs, and are delivered directly to PBT each day of classes. The cost of the lunch add-on is $170 if purchased before June 5, and $175 is purchased after that date.

Students not interested in the lunch add-on have the option to bring a packed lunch, to order lunch to be delivered to PBT, or to go out to local dining options during their lunch break. Students will have access to a microwave and a sink. Students will not have access to a refrigerator, so an ice pack is recommended for any meals needing refrigeration.

Please note that lunches are included with Housing; students staying at the dormitory do not need to sign up for the commuter lunches.

Signing up for lunches are available through the Family Portal. Students must sign up before May 20th.

Air Conditioner Information:

If students are interested in an AC unit being installed into their dorm room, they must provide a doctor's note explaining their medical need for the AC unit. An AC unit installation surcharge is given by the dormitory, and this fee is then passed on to the families through their portal account. Medical notes should be emailed to the School Office. Following receipt of the medical note, the surcharge will be applied to the account.

All students in the program should bring: a black leotard, a white leotard, and a simple leotard with minimal/no straps on the back for partnering. If applicable, dancers should bring a white practice tutu. There is a dance store near PBT studios for attire, shoes, and more as well.
