About the Office of Parent Outreach and Development

Our Mission The Office of Parent Outreach and Development, known as Penn Parents, is the central resource for connecting undergraduate parents and families to the University. Through communications, events, volunteer opportunities, and The Penn Fund, the Penn Parents team is committed to building relationships and creating avenues for parents to feel informed, connected, and uniquely involved in the life of the University and its advancement.

Events Involvement Opportunities We believe providing an opportunity for parents to become involved is the cornerstone of building lasting relationships. Penn Parents offers a myriad of ways for parents to stay connected and engaged in life at the University.

Communications and Outreach Penn Parents utilizes several modes of communication to keep parents informed: The Parents Magazine is sent home to families once a semester and provides a glimpse into life at Penn. The Penn Parents E-Newsletters are sent to parents via email to provide information that you can use to support your student at Penn. E-Newsletters contain information about programs, events, and resources on campus. Penn Parents Webinars provide parents with the opportunity to connect with representatives from featured departments on campus to learn more about programs and opportunities available to Penn students. Penn News for Parents is sent weekly from the Office of University Communications. Penn News for Parents shows a cross section of Penn ranging from scientific research and human-interest profiles to fun activities and Penn coverage in the news media. We encourage Penn Families to like and follow us on Facebook and Instagram: @PennParents. We also invite parents to utilize our website, pennparents.upenn.edu, to stay connected.

We encourage parents to attend events held virtually and regionally when possible. Additionally, large-scale annual events such as Family Weekend, Homecoming, and Commencement will be listed on the academic calendar each year. We hope to meet you at an event soon! Welcome to Penn Receptions provide new students and parents with the opportunity to meet current Penn parents, students, and University representatives virtually or in their home regions throughout the summer before the fall semester. New Student Orientation/New Parent and Family Orientation traditionally takes place during Move-In and provides parents and families with an introduction to the University. Family Weekend traditionally takes place during the fall semester and provides parents and families with an opportunity to visit campus and their Penn student while experiencing the rich academic and cocurricular life their child enjoys at Penn. Regional and International Events are held throughout the academic year and give parents the opportunity to hear from some of the University’s esteemed scholars and senior leaders.

Support The Penn Fund The Penn Fund supports undergraduate education by creating unique opportunities for students and enhancing programs across campus. Each year thousands of parents, grandparents, and friends help shape the Penn experience with their unrestricted gifts. Your gift, no matter the size, directly supports programs and initiatives that enhance your student’s Penn experience.

Parents, Students, and the University Building a Partnership for Success We are committed to partnering with you as you support your Penn student. Your student is embarking upon their academic career and student life as an independent adult. For many parents, this is uncharted territory. Therefore, our University partners created the following insights about this exciting transition. Understanding the Transition to College

How to Best Support Your Student

Presented by Student Health and Counseling at Penn

Even though your student may express the need to be independent, they still need to know that you are available to talk. Discuss with them a reasonable plan for you to stay in touch on a regular basis whether it is through texting, emails, or phone calls.

The transition to college is a time of excitement in the life of your child. University life can present new challenges, along with increased autonomy, exploration, and relationship-building. For most families, excitement about the transition also brings feelings of ambivalence and concern. Staying informed may help you take proactive steps. Student Health and Counseling offers extensive services for students on campus. Counseling Services staff members are also available to consult with parents.

Stay in Touch

Allow Space Let your student set the priorities for some conversations. Ask open-ended questions and give them room to air concerns, share successes, or just simply talk. If you intend on visiting, plan in advance so the time that you have is meaningful. Discuss Expectations Set up some time to talk to your student about expectations, e.g., frequency of communication, money matters, and so on. Negotiate a realistic plan. Be Realistic About College Life College life is quite hectic, and most students find their time packed with academic and social obligations. Take the time to remind your student to take care of

collegiateparent.com/school/university-of-pennsylvania

themselves physically and emotionally as well as academically. A balanced life that includes work, play, and rest is essential to a healthy student. Pick Your Battles Conflicts are a part of the parent-student relationship, particularly as your student develops more independence at school. However, you may want to prioritize what is really important to you and decide which issues you are willing to let go. Encourage Your Student to Make Use of Penn Resources Penn offers numerous resources to enhance your student’s experience while in college. (See the Penn Resources section at the back of this guide.) Penn is a big place, but you can help your student by suggesting various resources when you think it is appropriate.

FERPA Federal law, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), protects the privacy of student educational records — which broadly includes information maintained by Penn that identifies a student. Students should be aware of their rights under FERPA, and faculty and staff should be aware of and follow their obligations under FERPA. The University’s policy regarding disclosure of student information to parents is based both upon legal requirements and the University’s philosophy that students should be treated as adults. The University generally will not share personally identifiable information (other than directory information) from a student’s education records with third parties, including parents or guardians, without student consent, except in limited circumstances where such disclosure is permitted under FERPA and where the University determines in its discretion that disclosure is appropriate.

Disclosure is permitted: z In connection with an emergency if knowledge of the information is necessary to protect the health or safety of the student or other individuals. z When a student is under the age of 21 and the information pertains to the student’s violation of a University policy governing the use or possession of alcohol or drugs. z If a student is a dependent within the meaning of Section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 and the parent or legal guardian has submitted a written affirmation of guardianship. z In other limited circumstances as allowed under FERPA and its implementing regulations, as they may be amended. In cases involving a health or safety emergency or a violation of a University policy regarding the use or possession of alcohol or drugs, a decision to notify parents or guardians about information contained in an education record — and the actual communications to the parents or guardians — will be made by the Office of the Vice Provost for University Life or another senior student affairs officer, and after consultation with the student’s school office and other appropriate offices. Whenever practicable, a student whose parents or guardians are to be notified will be informed before such notification occurs and given an opportunity to initiate contact with his or her parents or guardians. In today’s world, it is important for students and families to understand and discuss risks to personal privacy, and ways to minimize those risks. Penn offers programs that give students choices regarding when and with whom their personal information is shared. See the Student Registration and Financial Services website for more information: srfs.upenn.edu/parents.

Historic Roots

Internationalism

The University of Pennsylvania has the distinction of being the first university in the United States, created by founding father Benjamin Franklin. M. Elizabeth Magill will be inaugurated as Penn’s ninth President this summer.

Of the international students enrolled in the Class of 2025, 14 percent were from Africa and the Middle East, 40 percent from Asia, 4 percent from Australia and the Pacific, 17 percent from Canada and Mexico, 5 percent from Central and South America and the Caribbean and 15 percent from Europe.

The Mascot Penn’s sports teams are nicknamed the Quakers after the religion adopted by William Penn, who established Pennsylvania as a Quaker province. Today, we see the Quaker at Penn football and basketball games.

Hey Day In 1916, Hey Day was established as a “Moving-Up” celebration to mark the advancement of each class. Hey Day has represented the official passage of the junior class to senior status and is characterized by marching students parading around campus wearing red t-shirts, carrying canes, and biting into fake straw hats.

Ivy Day In 1873, the first graduating class on Penn’s West Philadelphia campus established Ivy Day as a new tradition set aside for the senior class. As a vine was planted and an invocation pronounced, ivy became a lasting symbol for each year’s graduating class.

Diversity Of students enrolled in the Class of 2025, 56 percent are Black, Hispanic, Asian or Native American. Women make up 56 percent of all students currently enrolled.

Community Service Nearly 14,000 University students, faculty, and staff participate in over 300 Penn volunteer and community service programs, in addition to the more than 60 academically based community service courses that are taught each year.

Athletics and Recreation A charter member of the Ivy League, Penn offers intercollegiate competition in 16 sports for men and 15 sports for women.

Research With 178 research centers and institutes, research is a substantial and esteemed enterprise at Penn. The scale and interdisciplinary character of our research activities make Penn a nationally ranked research university.

World-Class Faculty Over the past two decades, Penn’s faculty has been home to ten MacArthur Award recipients, six National Medal of Science recipients, three Nobel Prize recipients, and four Pulitzer Prize recipients.

Financing and Payment Plans Penn offers several payment plans and financing opportunities to assist with your student’s educational expenses. Families can select one plan, or combine several, to meet their needs. If you decide to borrow, we recommend federal loan programs (Federal Direct Loan for students and Direct PLUS Loan for parents), as repayment is more flexible. You can also enroll in a Penn Payment Plan and spread your expenses across four or five payments each semester. î srfs.upenn.edu/billing-payment/ financing-and-payment-plans

Outside Scholarships Outside scholarships (i.e., scholarships awarded from sources outside the University) can be an important resource. Penn students may pursue outside scholarships to avail themselves of additional financial flexibility. More information on outside scholarships, including their impact on a student’s needbased financial aid package, can be found on the SRFS website. î srfs.upenn.edu/financial-aid/outsidescholarships

About Your Student’s Bill Penn.Pay is Penn’s online billing system through which your student receives their student account bill. Your student can review new daily activity and opt to pay their bill online, securely and efficiently. To comply with federal regulations (FERPA), your student must invite you to be an Authorized User in order for you to access Penn.Pay. Your student’s first bill is sent at the beginning of July, with a due date near the end of July (check the billing schedule on the SRFS website for exact dates). When the bill is ready, SRFS will send an email notification to your student’s University email address and to any authorized users associated with the account. Your student’s first bill will include all of their semester charges, including tuition, fees, housing, and dining. SRFS sends a new bill each month reflecting any additional charges. Full payment of the student account bill is due by the date indicated on the statement. Students are responsible for paying any amounts not covered by financial aid, loans, outside scholarships, or payment plans. A late payment penalty of 1.5% of any past due balance will be assessed each month and may result in the account being placed on financial hold, which restricts future registration, diplomas, and transcripts.

collegiateparent.com/school/university-of-pennsylvania

Payments can be made with a U.S. checking or savings account or your credit card. Note that credit card payments are assessed a convenience fee. Penn does not receive any compensation or portion of the convenience fee. Personal checks are also accepted through mail or in person, or funds can be sent via a wire transfer. Penn does not accept cash payments for student accounts. î srfs.upenn.edu/billing-payment

The Must-Do List We strongly encourage you to review the SRFS Must-Do List with your student and have them complete it as soon as possible. The Must-Do List addresses your student’s safety on campus, privacy rights, signing up for Penn.Pay, and enrolling in direct deposit for easy payment of work-study funds and student account refunds. î srfs.upenn.edu/must-do

Financial Wellness @ Penn This SRFS initiative aims to enhance students’ financial well-being by providing personal finance education, tools, and resources. Our goal is to help students feel empowered to set financial goals, make informed financial decisions, and improve their financial behaviors. We believe every student should leave Penn with a plan for their financial future. Look for opportunities to engage with Financial Wellness during NSO and online. î srfs.upenn.edu/financial-wellness

Campus Express Campus Express allows your student to sign up for many essential student services at Penn. Your student should first go to Campus Express Online, which opens June 1, 2022.

PennCard, PennCash, and PennKey PennCard

PennCash

The PennCard is the official University of Pennsylvania identification card required for all students, faculty, and staff. The PennCard is also used for many services including building access, library services, campus transit, ATM and debit card privileges, dining plans and Dining Dollars, recreational facility access, Student Financial Services (SFS) line of credit, and PennCash purchases.

PennCash is an easy, fast, and smart way to make “cash free” purchases within the Penn community. As a declining balance account that is a built-in feature of PennCards, students may easily load value onto a PennCash account. PennCash is immediately available for spending at campus locations such as the Penn Bookstore and campus dining, or for using the copiers at campus libraries. The easiest and fastest way to load PennCash is to go to upenn.edu/penncash and use a Visa or MasterCard, or transfer from the Student Financial Services line of credit. Students can also grant access to family members for the online PennCash account so that they may add value and view the account activity.

Your student should apply for their PennCard as soon as possible beginning June 1 but no later than July 17. Notary services, passport photos, shipping supplies, and postage stamps are additional convenient options that are available throughout the year at the PennCard Center, located on the second floor of the Penn Bookstore, 3601 Walnut St.

collegiateparent.com/school/university-of-pennsylvania

PennCard Access Code

PennKey

The PennCard Access Code (PAC) is the four-digit number used in conjunction with the PennCard (the University’s identification card) to access many buildings on campus, most importantly all residential buildings, students’ suites, and bedrooms. The University’s Information Systems and Computing Department randomly assigns a PAC to each student. Students are advised to change their codes to something that is both secure and easy to remember. Students can view and/or change their PAC on Campus Express at campusexpress.upenn.edu.

PennKey is an individual’s username within the PennKey authentication system. Paired with an associated password, a PennKey is required to authenticate your student’s identity for access to many of Penn’s networked systems and services. How does a student get a PennKey? Students must first obtain a PennKey Setup Code, which is sent by email or mail. Read about the Office of Information Security’s top three tips for securing your information at isc.upenn.edu/security/students. PennKey Setup Codes are temporary identifiers used to log in to the PennKey Registration application. A Setup Code expires once it’s been used or 60 days from the issue date, whichever comes first. Angle-right

University of Pennsylvania

Visit upenn.edu/pennkeyrequest for more information. Once students receive their PennKey Setup Codes, they can go to pennkeysupport.upenn.edu for information on how to log in to the PennKey Registration application.

When does a new student need to apply for a PennCard?

As soon as Campus Express Online becomes available on June 1. Students should log in to Campus Express Online at campusexpress.upenn.edu and click Your PennCard. New fall students should submit their PennCard applications within two weeks after Campus Express opens. Doing so will ensure that their PennCards will be ready for pick up during Move-In. After July 17, 2022 students will not be able to apply for their PennCards online. Students who arrive on campus after New Student Orientation should stop by the PennCard Center located on the second floor of the Penn Bookstore.

Where does a new student pick up their PennCard?

Students will be given their PennCards when they move into their College House.

Important: Students must pick up their own PennCards personally, and are required to present one of the following forms of original photo ID in person to receive their PennCard: z Domestic students: Photo identification such as a driver’s license or non-driving photo ID card, issued by a U.S. state or territory; passport issued by the United States government; any other passport that the student is entitled to hold. z International students: Passport of the country of which they are a citizen or subject.

What can students do with their PennCards? With a PennCard, students may:

z Enter academic and residential buildings on campus z Enter dining cafes, preorder and pay through the Penn Eats dining app, and access dining plans z Make purchases using PennCash z Link their PennCards to a PNC Bank or Student Federal Credit Union account so that the PennCard may be used as an ATM card or bank debit card z Charge purchases to the Student Financial Services line of credit

How safe is PennCash?

The value in the PennCash account is not stored on the card. If a PennCard is lost, the PennCash account is frozen when the student notifies the PennCard office at (215) 417-CARD or Public Safety at (215) 573-3333.

Penn Bookstore Penn was the first university to establish what many institutions still recognize as the model for today’s premier collegiate retail shopping experience. The Penn Bookstore offers a unique assortment of products and services to specifically meet the needs of Penn students and parents. In addition to textbooks and course materials, the Penn Bookstore is a go-to resource for technology products, school supplies, and a unique assortment of Penn branded apparel and merchandise for the entire family. Affordable Textbook Options With the Bookstore’s convenient online textbook purchasing system, students have the option of having their textbooks shipped directly or pick them up at the Penn Bookstore when they arrive on campus. Pick-up orders will be available in the textbook department, packed, and with a register receipt. Keep the receipt and textbooks can be returned for a full refund until the second week of classes. There are numerous benefits to purchasing textbooks through the Penn Bookstore, which offers flexible formats including new, used, rental, and digital. The Penn Bookstore makes student savings a priority through a number of affordability initiatives. The textbook rental program allows students to use the book in the

same way as if they purchased it outright (e.g. ability to highlight and write in the margins). Renting a textbook may save up to 50% or more over the cost of purchasing a new book and, at the end of the semester, students can choose whether they wish to return the book or purchase it. Used textbooks are another popular option. The difference between a new textbook price and a used textbook price is approximately 25%. Because used textbooks are in high demand, students are encouraged to make their purchases early to increase their chances of obtaining a used book. The Bookstore’s Textbook Wizard online system lets students know if new, used, rental, or digital versions of a text are an available option.

University of Pennsylvania

The Price Match Program

A Place to Shop and Relax

The Bookstore will match the price of any new, used, or used rental textbooks sold directly from Amazon.com, BN.com, or local providers (this offer does not include 3rd party sellers or marketplaces). More information on the program is available at upenn.edu/bookstore.

In addition to accepting all major credit cards including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover, students have the option to charge their textbooks directly to their Student Financial Services or PennCash account by providing their PennCard number. Students can also use a Barnes & Noble Gift card toward textbook purchases! With a generous return policy, your student never has to worry about a schedule change.

Dining Dollars can also be used at any of our residential cafés, although generally students use their visits at these locations. Each time a purchase is made, the amount is subtracted from your student’s Dining Dollars account balance. Additional Dining Dollars can be purchased if your student runs out.

Meal Exchange Meal Exchange allows your student to use their swipes (visits) at several of our retail locations to get a complete meal and are meant to provide an alternative if scheduling or distance makes it difficult for students to get to a residential café for a meal. Meal Exchange is available at Gourmet Grocer, Sushi at McClelland in the Quad, Late Night at Lauder College House and Houston Market.

How Do I Know Which Dining Plan Is Best for My Student? Here at Penn, we understand that each student is different, and therefore has different dining preferences. Each plan has the flexibility and convenience to meet students’ needs. Visit upenn.edu/dining to view full descriptions of our dining plan options. Students can change their plans once during the Dining Plan Change Period at the beginning of each semester.

What if My Student Has Allergies, a Dietary Need, or Religious Dietary Restriction? When your student signs up for a dining plan on Campus Express, they will be asked to fill out a Special Dietary Needs Form. Students are strongly encouraged to fill out this form so that the campus dietitian can assist them with their dietary needs. Bon Appétit at Penn Dining has a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist on staff who will be happy to answer any dietary questions you or your student may have. Additionally, we have a kosher dining café, as well as halal and Jain food prepared on campus. Our chefs will work with students to help meet any other religious dietary restrictions.

How Does My Student Sign Up? Have your student log in to their Campus Express account online at campusexpress.upenn.edu. When students log in, they will be able to select their dining plans. If they don’t choose a dining plan, they will be auto assigned to our most popular plan. They can change their plans during the fall change period, which is roughly the first three weeks of the semester. Visit upenn.edu/dining for more information and frequently asked questions.

How Can I Keep Up-To-Date With Dining on Campus? Penn Dining is very active on social media in an effort to bring you news and events about dining on campus. We regularly post specials and information on dining events on Facebook and Instagram.

Student Mail Services Your student has three convenient options to ship items to (and from) campus. Mail and parcel delivery to Sansom Place and the College Houses is managed by Residential Services. All other campus mail is managed by Penn Mail Services. Penn PersonalShip All members of the Penn community have access to the University’s PersonalShip program, which allows students (as well as faculty, staff, and alumni) to ship express mail packages via UPS and DHL at Penn’s negotiated rates, resulting in significant savings on shipping costs. PersonalShip is easy to use. Shippers enter in credit/debit card information, fill out the requested information, print a shipping label and any other necessary documentation, and affix it to the package. Access PersonalShip by visiting upenn.edu/PersonalShip and entering in a PennKey and Password. Please read the information on the front page carefully, as it outlines important instructions.

Amazon@Penn Amazon@Penn, located on campus within 1920 Commons, offers a secure and convenient place for students to pick up Amazon orders. Amazon Student and Prime members also get Free Same-Day or One-Day Pickup on a wide selection of items.

All Penn students are eligible to participate. Students shop for items they wish to purchase and, if they have a Free SameDay or Free One-Day account, choose Amazon@Penn as their shipping address during checkout. They will then receive an email or text message when their package is ready for pickup.

Proper Address Form In order to ensure timely delivery, all parcels and mail sent to campus must use the official United States Postal Service address format. Specific information can be found at the Residential Services website upenn.edu/housing on the “Resources” page. Students should note that their mailing address is different than their campus residential address. Residents can contact housingmail@lists.upenn.edu for any questions about their mail service. Note: USPS “delivery confirmation” mail sent to campus is confirmed upon arrival at the Philadelphia Post Office before delivery to the Penn campus. In other words, a USPS confirmation of arrival does not confirm delivery to the student.

Currently the University can notify all Penn faculty, staff, and students via personal electronic devices (cellphones, etc.) through text messaging and email. The University also has siren and public address systems in place to send a UPennAlert. The Penn Siren Outdoor System (PennSOS) comprises 27 speakers transmitting voice intelligible emergency messages and alert tones to the outdoor campus environment. PennSOS is not designed to penetrate buildings but will be audible above normal street noise.

Penn Guardian Penn Guardian is a free app that is available to all Penn community members. It was developed by the University’s safety partner Rave Guardian, a service utilized on college campuses across the country. Registering is easy — search “Rave Guardian” in the App Store for iOS devices or Google Play for Android devices. You will be prompted to enter your name,

phone number, and Penn email address, which provides access to the University’s customized interface. Calls from a registered phone will allow Penn Police to determine your cell phone’s GPS location, which can decrease response time. This information will only be available to Penn Police if you call the PennComm Communications Center (PennComm) directly, either through the app or at (215) 573-3333. If a call is made to PennComm, and you are unable to speak — perhaps because of an allergic reaction — a call taker will send a text message to your phone. You can then communicate directly via text. The app also provides a confidential way to submit a tip to Penn Police — with a photo, if necessary — through a text message.
