<p>At any university for any class (unless you have a documented disability that calls for recording lectures) you just need to ask the professor. It can actually get quite complicated if you have classmates that don’t want to be recorded. For my students (not at Pitt), I hated that they would have to listen to me TWICE–or more.</p>
<p>I actually bought a recorder for my daughter because she had a scheduling conflict and was going to ask someone to record the lectures. The recorder was never taken out of the packaging!</p>
