Declining Balance Plans

Additional Information

Resident Students

All students residing on campus must have one of the designated board plans as part of their housing contract. First year students may select from the 14- or 10- meal board plan. Returning students may choose from a 14-, 10- or 5- meal board plan.

ID Card

A valid Penn College ID card is required for use of your meal plan. A student's account information is stored on the magnetic stripe on the back of your card. Students present ID cards to the Dining Services cashier, who swipe cards to transfer purchases to the students' meal plan account.

Each student is responsible to protect the security of his/her card. ID cards are nontransferable; students may not "lend out" their cards to others. Cards that are used by someone other than the cardholder will be confiscated; and disciplinary action may be taken.

Lost or stolen cards should be reported immediately to Dining Services, (570) 327-4767.

Where to use your card

• Meal plan cards are accepted at any of our dining units.
• Board meals can be used at all dining units except the West Side snack shop.
• Declining balances and flex dollars can be used in any of our dining units, Le Jeune Chef Restaurant and in select vending machines.

Add-on Process

Students may add funds to a plan at any time during the semester. Add-ons will be more common for declining balance customers; however, Board plan customers may add on to their flex dollars. A minimum of $50 is required for a Declining Balance add-on, and $25 for a Flex Dollar add-on.

The additions may be made with a credit card online. Students also may stop by the Dining Services Office to add funds to their plans.

Refund Process

Declining Balance Plans - balances at the end of each semester will be refunded if the Declining Balance account has more than $10.

Board Plan Flex Dollars - unused flex dollars will only be refunded at the end of each semester, if additional funds were added to the account during the semester and if the account has more than $10.

*Please be advised that meal plan refunds will be processed through your PCT OneCard at the end of each semester. You must activate your card and select a refund preference or we will not be able to process your refund. For more information about the PCT OneCard, visit the Bursar's Office Refund FAQs Web page.
