DANCER REGISTRATION FAQS
When is Dancer Registration?
· In order to have a chance to be a dancer in THON 2013, you are required to complete Online Pre-
Registration on THINK (think.psu.edu) between January 7th until January 21st. This includes the Dancer
Registration Survey on THINK. Additionally, you must attend the In-Person Dancer Registration event
between 7:00pm and 10:00pm on your required night in 129 HUB as follows:
o January 28th, 2013 - Independent dancers and New Organization Couples
o January 29th, 2013 – General and Special Interest Organization Couples
o January 30th, 2013 - Greek Organizations and Commonwealth Campuses
Do I need to register online to be considered for dancer eligibility?
· Yes, if you do not register online (think.psu.edu) by January 21st, 2013 your organization forfeits any ability to
have dancers.
Do I need to sign up for a Dancer Registration appointment?
· Yes, similar to Canning Drop Off, you must register an appointment time online through THINK. Please
register by January 21st. Please note the date for which your organization is required to attend a dancer
registration session.
Do I need to bring anything to the Dancer Registration Appointment?
· Yes, please bring the completed EMS and Dancer Registration forms found in this Dancer Registration Packet
along with your registration fee of $80 per couple. This $80 fee will only be processed if you are selected as a
dancer. (NOTE: This fee is to help cover dancer expenses at THON and should be paid out of
organization/personal funds, NOT funds raised for THON.) If you do not have all required documentation, you
cannot complete registration.
What forms do I need to fill out?
· Each dancer needs to complete their respective dancer letter (A or B) DANCER REGISTRATION and
EMS FORMS found in this packet. These forms must be filled out before the In-Person Dancer Registration
Appointment.
How do I pay the $80 registration fee?
· You can pay by check, cash or ASA transfer, made out to the Penn State Dance Marathon. If you do not
have this payment, you will not be able to register. Please note that if you pay in cash, this fee cannot be refunded
in the event that you are not chosen in the dancer lottery.
Who must be present at the Dancer Registration event?
· Both members of the dancer couple and one THON Chair must be present to register. If both
members of the dancer couple are not present to register at the same time, then the registration process will not
be completed. Excused absences will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Please email Mike Wellner at
rules.regulations@thon.org if you have a scheduling issue.
What if my independent dancer/lottery organization couple has not raised $2,600 by January 28th?
· Then your independent dancer/lottery organization couple will not be put into the THON 2013 Lottery, and
therefore will not have dancers in THON 2013. No exceptions.
What if my returning organization that is in the lottery has not raised $2,600 by In-Person
Registration night?
