Students can charge textbooks on their AllCard (College photo ID) at any time during the year.

The Campus Center's Game Room houses a collection of approximately 1,000 DVD and VHS movie titles. Movies are free to sign out for a period of 48 hours with the student'sAllCard. After 48 hours, a fine of $2 per movie per day is assessed. In the fall of 2005, an automated system was implemented. Students who are late returning movies are now sent late-return reminders every two days. If they do not return the movie(s) after 14 days, they are assessed a $40 per movie replacement cost (inclusive of late fines). Students may pay their fines in the Student Activities Office, located on the third floor of the Campus Center, prior to the 25th of each month.

Allegheny requires that all of its students be adequately insured in case of illness or injury while in Meadville. The Winslow Health Center provides routine diagnosis and treatment, but other services may call for illness/accident insurance that is valid in Pennsylvania.
An optional accident/sickness insurance fee (currently $225 for the year for U.S. residents) is therefore automatically added to each student's bill.
Students may reject this College-facilitated insurance coverage by demonstrating that they have comparable coverage that is valid in Pennsylvania. Waiver forms are provided with the fall semester fees and must be returned by the due date.* The Health Center monitors students' coverage and can answer related questions. The Health Center may be reached by calling (814) 332-4355.
