Get
Together
You will receive notification by mid-July alerting
you when your room assignment will be posted on eLiving (www.eliving.psu.edu). Your room assignment will include your housing assignment
and roommate information. If you have not met your roommate(s),
give them a call and introduce yourself. Now is a good
time to talk about your interests, your families, why
you chose Penn State, and what each of you plans to
bring with you. This way, you won’t duplicate
items like TVs, telephones, and CD players. For a complete
list of items that are prohibited in the residence area,
refer to the Housing Contract Terms,
Conditions, and Regulations.
Get
Packed
Bring personal items that will help you feel at home
in your new room. Review helpful
checklists to find out which items you should bring
and which you should leave at home.
Please
note: the bed requires extra-long twin sheets.
We
suggest that you pack light when you come for Welcome
Week. Don’t bring all your clothes for the year;
you may want to wait to see how much storage space you
have and then plan on bringing additional items at another
time. Pack everything in boxes or storage bins; clearly
mark each with your name and room number.
Get Service
Your
room and board fee includes the cost of basic cable
TV service. If you are interested in expanded service,
you can contact Time Warner
Cable for information and rates.
Get
Connected
If
you are planning on bringing a computer with you to
Penn State, you will want to get connected as soon as
possible. Click
here for additional information about getting connected
and computing services, or contact the Residence Hall
Network Helpdesk by e-mail
or call 814-898-6550.
Get
Carded
Your Penn State id+ card is your official University
ID. During FTCAP, you should have had your picture taken
and received your new id+ card. If you didn't, then
you will need to visit the Housing and Food Services
office in Senat Hall upon arrival to get your card.
You are responsible for carrying this card with you
at all times. The id+ card is used as an identification
card, provides access to your residence hall, is the
method of payment for your on-campus meals, and is used
for on-campus laundry facilities, vending, and copying
machines. In order to use the laundry, vending, and
copying machines, you will need to activate your LionCash+
account by depositing funds. Click
here for additional information about how to activate
your account. Your A-La Board meal plan will be automatically
activated for you to use the first day that you arrive
on campus.
Don't Lose Your Card! If you
lose your card, visit the Housing and Food Services
office to get another card at the current replacement
fee, which will be charged to your student account.
Get
Registered
All
students must complete the registration process, which
consists of 1) enrolling in specific courses, and 2)
payment of tuition, fees, and room and board charges.
Students arriving for fall semester that have an incomplete
registration will be given a timeframe to complete the
process, or will be required to vacate on-campus housing.
Click
here for additional information about the registration
process.
Get
Out of Here
If
you have decided to not attend Penn State this fall,
but received a room assignment, please contact Housing
and Food Services as soon as possible to discuss canceling
your Housing Contract. This will grant another student
the opportunity to live on campus, as well as provide
the maximum refund possible for you.
Get
Going
Drive safely! Click
here for directions to the campus. Housing and Food
Services staff look forward to your safe arrival on
campus.
