Meet with an Advisor

Not sure what programs we offer or what is the best option for you?

• Attend an event or information session to explore and learn more about the different types of global opportunities available to Penn students. In addition, you’re invited to learn more about global opportunities at Penn by viewing PA101 on demand.
   

• Participate in virtual drop-in hours. This is an opportunity exclusively for students who have not yet selected a program or region of interest. You will be able to learn more and ask questions about a variety of global program options to meet your academic, personal, and professional interests.

An advising session is required before you can open an application. Advising for a semester abroad program is by academic discipline or by region.

• All students seeking Nursing or Engineering credit abroad must register for the advising session for their discipline.

• All students seeking College or Wharton credit abroad must register for an advising session by region.

Please follow the appropriate link below to schedule your advising appointment. Depending on the program location, appointments may be individual or in group settings. Group advising sessions may include up to 5 students. Please arrive on time.

At this time, Penn Abroad is accepting applications for Spring 2022 study abroad, and for Fall / Academic Year 2022 Oxford programs only. Penn Abroad is not currently accepting applications for Fall / Academic Year 2022 and beyond for any other program locations.

Penn Abroad has not yet defined its portfolio of program offerings for Spring 2022. Penn Abroad will confirm its portfolio of Spring 2022 abroad offerings in August 2021. Applicants whose program of interest is not within the confirmed Spring 2022 portfolio will be notified and redirected to a suitable alternative.
