Tool Kit Pick-up and Drop-off Guide

To help make your arrival on campus as smooth as possible, Penn College offers designated times and locations for tool box drop-off and tool kit pick-up before classes begin. Procedures vary by academic program.

Took Kit Pick-up

The process to pick up tool kits purchased through The College Store is a little different, depending on your kit. Click on the section below that applies to you for more details.

Students who purchase a Snap-on tool kit from The College Store for one of the following programs by July 31 will have their toolbox delivered to their assigned lab before classes begin, whenever possible. Orders placed after July 31 may not be delivered until after classes begin.  

Eligible programs:

  • Automotive  
  • Aviation  
  • Collision Repair  
  • Diesel  
  • Heavy Equipment Technician
  • On-Site Power Generation  

Please Note: Pick up your toolbox keys at the Snap-on Desk in The College Store during Welcome Week or anytime afterward.

All non Snap-on tool kits must be picked up at the Snap-on Desk in the College Store.

For pick-up:

  • Park in The College Store parking lot during Welcome Week.
