Personal info

In the personal info tab, you can find your legal name, preferred name, and phone number.

Legal Name

The name that will appear on your university transcript upon completion of your course(s).


This name should match the name on your birth certificate, driver’s license, passport, etc.

Preferred Name This is the name you’d like us to refer to you by.

You can always modify your Preferred name or Phone number.

Important: If there is a mistake in your Legal Name, reach out to Outlier’s Student Success team as soon as possible by using the teal ‘?’ in the bottom right-hand corner of your account. Please include a copy of your identification that includes your full legal name.

Transcripts

In the Transcripts tab, you can see which courses are ready to be transferred. By clicking the “Continue” button, you will be directed to the University of Pittsburgh’s course transfer page.

Keep in mind that transcripts cannot be requested until at least 10 days after the course’s end date. If you’re not seeing anything in this section—you may just be ahead of the game!

Course Management

In this tab, you will be able to view the courses you are enrolled in, as well as the exit options that are still available to you based on the course schedule(s).

If you are a Dual Enrollment student, you will need to discuss exit options with your school’s Outlier Educator, who will manage your enrollment status.

Students in the Degrees+ program should see this article for more information about managing their courses and exit options.

Study Blocks

In this tab, you will be able to manage your Study Blocks. Learn more about Study Blocks and how to use them here.

Login + security

Dual Enrollment

Students in our High School Dual Enrollment program will access the Outlier platform via SSO by logging into their Savvas Realize account.

For this reason, they will not have a password to log into the Outlier platform directly.

Note: If you are having trouble logging into your Savvas Realize account, you will need to reach out to your school’s Outlier Educator right away.

Degrees+

Degrees+ students can update the email address or password associated with their account on this tab.

Updating your email address requires that you first enter your new email address and current password. You must then verify your new email address before the changes are finalized.
