Overview
You will move through several modules as you work your way through the Graduate New International Student Canvas Course. Each module contains important information for your time at Penn State and provides you an opportunity to check your understanding through brief self-check quizzes. These quizzes are designed to help build your confidence in your comprehension of the material and to help the facilitators improve the material in the future.
The modules include:
- Information from the Graduate School
- University Expectations
- Success in Your Graduate Career
- Penn State Academic Culture
- Professional and Career Development
- Tuition & Banking
- Funding Opportunities
- Health and Well-Being
- Health insurance
- Immigration
Requirements
The course is set up so that you must move through the modules sequentially. You are expected to complete each quiz with as few attempts as possible. Please reach out immediately if you think you might have problems meeting the due date.
