The MCIT Online Student Association (MOSA) is the first and only dedicated student organization for the Masters of Computer and Information Technology (MCIT) online student community at the University of Pennsylvania.
MOSA’s goal is to develop and foster the MCIT online student community with programs and events related to Education/Learning, Entrepreneurship/Jobs and Social/Fellowship.
What we offer:
Educational Enrichment: The MOSA Education and Learning Committee organizes events and programs designed to further develop students’ technical skillsets outside the classroom. Past examples include online hackathons and individual programming challenges.
Student Advocacy: MOSA seeks to enhance the MCIT Online student’s experience by acting as the liaison amongst the MCIT Online students, on-campus students, and Penn Engineering faculty and administration.
Professional Development: The MOSA Entrepreneurship and Jobs Committee enhances MCIT Online students’ career opportunities and professional networks through workshops and programs planned for our diverse student cohort: from career changers to entrepreneurs to those wishing to supplement their current role in any industry.
Community Building: MOSA supports our highly engaged online student community through active engagement through consistent virtual events, designated mentorship programs, community newsletters and blogs, and occasional in-person social meet-ups.
Question: Am I allowed to join the program going into the Spring Semester or is it only once a year? - Anonymous
You can join any time throughout the academic year once you are registered as a MCIT Online student.

Question: Hi there, I think I request to join a while ago. Now I am not sure if I am in the program already. What indicated that I am in the program or not? - Anonymous
Hi there, you can indicate which program (as well as school) you are in at the Profile page, that way it would be easier for us to identify you as a MCIT student. There are other ways for us to check, such as via the University's directory.

Question: Hi there, I saw the peer mentorship program. Wondering how could I join this program as a mentee. - Anonymous
Hi there, if you're a new student you will receive a form from MCIT Online administration to sign up for mentorship and collect a bit more about yourself once your first semester begins!

Question: Hi Anshuman, can you forward an invite to me too? I'm starting Spring 2021 but I only see the "I'm a member' button. Thanks! Tri - Tri Nguyen
Please click on "I'm a member" button. This will pop-up a message box, scroll to the bottom and you will find a "Confirm" button. Please ignore the warning text, and click "Confirm". This should complete the sign-up process.
We are working with PennClubs team on this issue, however the above seems to be complete the sign-up process.
