Meet with an Advisor

An advising session is required before you can open an application. Advising for a semester abroad program is by region or language of study. Please follow the appropriate link below to schedule your advising appointment. Please arrive on time, as each session may include up to 5 students.

If you are unsure where you would like to study abroad, Penn Abroad walk-in hours allow for an individual meeting with a Global Programs Coordinator. Walk-in hours for Fall 2018 begin on August 28th and are every Tuesday and Friday from 1 PM to 5 PM through the semester. Walk-in hours should only be used for students who have not yet selected a region of interest for their study abroad experience. If you have defined your study abroad region of interest you must schedule an advising session for the appropriate region below.
