Fees
Below are descriptions of various fees. Some fees
are included in Penn’s standard Educational Expense
Budget, while others are not. All applicable fees will
appear on your student account billing statement.
Fees included in the Educational Expense Budget
General Fee
The general fee partially supports facilities
such as the library systems, museums, and special
laboratories.
Educational Technology Fee
This fee assists with the cost of computer labs
and services and is $624.
Recreation Fee
Undergraduate students enrolled full-time are automatically members of Pottruck
Center, the University's fitness center, through a dedicated recreation fee.
The Recreation Fee is $300.
Student Health Clinical Fee
This fee enables all students to have unlimited access
to the Student Health Center and is mandatory for
all full-time students. However, if a student is
enrolled in Penn’s Student Health Insurance
Program, the fee will be waived when the health
insurance charge is posted to the student's account. Direct
questions to the Student Health Service Office
at shsinsura@pobox.upenn.edu or
call 215-746-3535.
Fees not included in the Educational Expense
Budget
New Student Orientation (NSO) Fee
The Orientation Fee covers meals provided during
New Student Orientation in August. Meals will be
served each day at times specified in the NSO Calendar.
Since these are not part of the regular meal plan,
the expense is listed as an Orientation Fee. Check
back for the cost.
College House Fee
The College House Program Fee helps to fund programmatic
costs for College Houses, from College House Computing
(including costs associated with wireless installation)
to the College House Music Program, Humanities
Research Fellowships, Residential Program activities,
and some of our academic support services (e.g.,
the Penn Mentoring Program, or the Faculty Associates
program). The College House programs are
described at our website: http://www.collegehouses.upenn.edu/.
Laboratory Fees
Lab fees for certain courses are not included in
