Hello Class of 2016!

April 2, 2015

Voting is now open for two of the teaching awards conferred to members of the Wharton faculty during the spring semester.

Please follow the links below to cast your vote for:

The Helen Kardon Moss Anvil Award

The Core Curriculum Awards

Advance Registration for Fall 2015 Penn Classes will be open from Monday, March 23 through Sunday, April 5. See the Penn Registrar's site (Course Search and Planning Tool) for a list of available courses. You can place a course request with Cindy Armour or Laurin Frierson in the MBAPO by dropping by or by sending an email with the full course number including the section. You can find all university course and professor evaluations on Penn Course Review by logging in with your PennKey.

If you have already submitted a request, please check your transcript on PennInTouch on April 15th at 10 AM to see the results of your request. 

International students who will have an internship or work in the US (paid or unpaid) will require work authorization. F-1 students can satisfy this requirement through either Optional Practical Training (OPT) or Curricular Practical Training (CPT). Most students will elect to use CPT as it does not use up the allotted OPT time. The MBA Program Office will offer a summer online course that satisfies the CPT requirement, MGMT891:900. To register for the MGMT 891 class, students are required to watch a 9 minute video which provides details about the course content and registration, and instructions on how to apply for CPT work authorization. Registration for Summer 2015 CPT is now open (Please do not apply for CPT through ISSS until your course registration is complete). Please use the Curricular Practical Training link on SPIKE to begin the process. 

LT indicators for Q3 courses have been published. To view these designations:

Login to SPIKE
Select the "My Account" tab
Select "My Academic Info" from the left-side menu bar

Students  who owe over $1000 and students on immunization hold will not have access to Fall 2015 Course Match when it opens later this month.  

If you have questions, please contact Barbara in 300 Huntsman or email her at goldsteb@wharton.upenn.edu.

As the planning for summer begins, just a quick reminder that the first day of core and elective classes for the Fall 2015 semester will be Wednesday, August 26, 2015. Please keep this date in mind as you plan your summer experiences.

If you are an international student, you may need to pay state and federal income tax. Visit http://global.upenn.edu/isss/tax for information about your tax obligations.

Please contact ISSS for further information.
