Optional Services Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are optional services?
Optional services include meal plans, parking permits, and fitness center memberships. By signing up for optional services, the charges will be added to your student eBill. To secure these services for Spring 2012, you must pay your eBill including the optional charges by the tuition due date, December 12, 2011.
Why should I sign up for optional services?
By adding optional services to your student eBill, it is possible for you to use available financial aid funds to cover these costs.
How do I sign up for optional services?
Log in to SIS. From the Financial Information menu, select “Optional Services Request” to make your choices.
When are optional services available?
For Spring 2012, optional services will be available beginning October 31, 2011.
What is the deadline for optional services?
For optional services to be included in your eBill, you must request the services by December 12, 2011. To have the service charges included on your first student eBill, you must request the services by November 13.
What if I missed the deadline or didn’t pay my eBill on time? Can I still add services to my student eBill?
No, after December 12 optional services cannot be included in your eBill. However, you can purchase the services online or in person:
- Meal Plan Applications are available from Dining Services.
- Parking Permits are available from Penn College Police.
- Fitness Center Memberships are available on SIS by selecting “Purchase Fitness Center Membership” from the Meal Plan/Memberships menu or by visiting the Campus Center Information Desk.
I already have a meal plan since I will be living in on-campus housing. Can I still sign up for optional services?
Yes, you can add a parking permit and/or fitness center membership to your student eBill. If you want to change your meal plan option, contact Dining Services.
I purchased a meal plan, parking permit, and/or fitness center membership in the fall. Do I need to sign up for these services for the spring?
Meal plans must be purchased each semester. If you purchased a yearly parking permit and/or fitness center membership in the fall, you do NOT need to do so for the spring.
