Whats the difference between PennCash and the SFS line of credit (bursar)?
PennCash is a declining balance account that is intended for flexible spending around campus. You control the amount of PennCash you add to your account, and how much you spend. Unused PennCash may be refunded to you when you leave the University, or you may also choose to donate your unspent PennCash to the Penn Fund. The Student Financial Services revolving line of credit (also known as the SFS account or Bursar) is a line of credit that is extended by Student Financial Services to those students who are in good financial standing with the University. Any purchases made to your SFS line of credit are added to your tuition bill and are due on a monthly basis. SFS is intended to be used for educational purposes, such as textbooks or computers. For more information about SFS, please go to the SFS website.
