As another poster pointed out, that program does indeed still exist, and in fact it includes other Pittsburgh colleges and universities, although my understanding is CMU is by far the most popular choice for Pitt students.

It is all laid out, but executive summary, you can only do up to one course per term, and you need advisor approval. In practice, I understand most students use it either if they need a certain class and it isn’t working with the rest of their schedule, or if CMU has an upper level class not available at Pitt. But those are both common enough scenarios that a decent number of kids end up using the program at some point (and others not at all).
