All students applying to any pre-approved placement through GRIP must fulfill the advising requirement in order to submit their application.  Please be sure you review our general GRIP information and list of placements to ensure that there are GRIP opportunities you are interested in.

In-person group advising ended on December 14th, and in-person walk-in advising ended on December 20th. If you did not already attend a group advising session or walk-in advising, you must attend a virtual group advising session in January. Group advising sessions will be offered at the following times:

• Wednesday, January 2nd at 2:00 pm EST

Students must sign up for a session in order to attend. You may sign up for a session starting on January 1st. Students must stay for the entire hour-long session and fill out a form that will be distributed at the end of the session in order to have their advising requirement checked off.

No further advising opportunities will be added, if you are planning on applying to GRIP for Summer 2019 and have not had your advising requirement fulfilled, you must attend one of the above virtual sessions.

If you have any questions, please contact the GRIP team at grip-abroad@upenn.edu.  We look forward to hearing from you!

If you are interested in learning more about the Penn Global Seminars opportunities, you may schedule an individual advising meeting with the Global Seminars Manager, Laurie Jensen.
