"It's well worth the time & money to come to PLE. I had a blast!" - PLE student evaluation Admissions Admissions procedures vary depending on where students are enrolled. University of Pittsburgh students may enroll for courses offered at the Pymatuning Laboratory of Ecology with one of the Biological Sciences Advisors or with the University's Office of the Registrar. You don't need to be a major within the Department of Biological Sciences to enroll; everyone is welcome! Clarion, Edinboro, and Slippery Rock Universities of Pennsylvania participate in a cooperative program at PLE. Students enrolled through any of these institutions register, pay tuition, and receive credit at their home institutions. Students from these institutions should contact their respective colleges about registration, tuition, and credit procedures. Students from other institutions are also welcome to take courses offered at PLE. Please contact the University of Pittsburgh Summer Sessions Office for registration procedures. Class size is limited, so enroll soon!
