Global Cougs 101

First things first

Global Cougs 101 is now offered only in a self-paced (asynchronous) online format. It should take no longer than an hour to complete (and is likely much shorter than that!).

Completing GC101 is required before you can schedule an advising appointment with a Global Learning Advisor. Advising appointments are available for all program types, but are required only for exchange programs. Make sure to complete all included items and click the “Submit your application” button at the end of the GC101 form to be eligible to schedule an advising appointment.

Want to speak with another student? Drop-in peer advising hours with WSU students who have already studied abroad will be available this fall.
