Joanne Garfield and Sachiko Nakazato-Mehu serve as Temple University's International Student Advisors, providing supplementary academic advising support for matriculated international students across all schools and colleges at Temple. In addition, they also serve as primary academic advisors for Global Programs students.

Global Programs Advising

Global Programs students work with the Global Programs Office through the application process. Once accepted, they are registered for courses by International Students Advisors in the Academic Resource Center.

• Initial Registration
  After you get accepted you will be invited to attend an online Webinar where you will receive instructions for completing a Prerequisite Worksheet. You will submit your Prerequisite Worksheet which will include your course requests. Your assigned advisor will contact you after your initial registration has been processed.
• Second Semester Registration
  If you are staying for a second semester at Temple, you will be invited to an in-person Group Advising Session. You will prepare and submit another Prerequisite Worksheet with your second semester course requests.
