Penn Abroad has revamped its study abroad application system, introducing a new platform, PASSPORT, for spring 2027 applicants. Students now list three alternate programmes, and academic approval moves post-submission.

This aims for a smoother, more flexible application experience.source https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/education/news/university-of-pennsylvania-updates-study-abroad-application-process-heres-whats-new-for-students/articleshow/130042040.cms
