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. Please arrive on time, as each group session may include up to 8 students. Virtual and in-person options are available, according to each advisor’s schedule.

In-person appointments in our office require the use of stairs. For assistance or to request accommodations, please contact goabroad@upenn.edu.
