I would also like to take a moment to invite you to make plans to come back to campus to attend Homecoming and Family Weekend, October 9–11, for all Pacific students, their families, and Pacific alumni. The weekend’s festivities will feature many activities and presentations, time to reconnect with your student, and opportunities to connect with Pacific faculty, staff, and alumni, and experience the rich academic, social, and cultural community that is Pacific.
If you are ever on campus, please do not hesitate to stop by our office in Burns Tower. Please feel free to call on us if we can be of any assistance to you throughout the year.
Best regards to each of you, Ashton Ricketts

Pacific Family A S S O CI ATI O N The purpose of the Pacific Family Association (PFA) is to help support student success by partnering with and connecting to campus faculty, staff, and alumni. All parents and family members of current students are members of the PFA by virtue of having a student enrolled at Pacific. The PFA provides parents and family members the opportunity to know more about what students are doing and helps in finding ways to be supportive. There are many opportunities to build a stronger relationship with Pacific.

Campus Employment In order to work on campus, students need to obtain a “Legal Status to Work Card” from Human Resources. Students will need their driver’s license and social security card, U.S. Passport, or birth certificate to obtain this card. Many departments on campus offer workstudy options. Students should review their financial aid package on insidePacific or contact the Financial Aid office at 209.946.2421 to determine if they qualify for work-study.
Campus Dining Bon Appetit offers students a variety of dining options, meal plans, and dining facilities. Each facility features a variety of menu options such as a salad bar, homestyle soups, freshly baked desserts, and beverages. At least one vegetarian entrée is featured at each meal. Our Market Place dining selections cater to a variety of specialty diets and include gluten-free pizza, pasta, and bread. Dining facilities at Pacific include the Marketplace (our main dining facility located in the DeRosa University Center),
The Lair (pub-style eatery located in the DeRosa University Center), the Calaveras Coffee House, the Health Sciences Café (located in the Health Sciences Learning Center), and the “Easy Artisan Takeout” (E.A.T) food truck located on South campus. In addition, students may purchase any of the items offered at the Grove Grocery, located in the McCaffrey Center, with the Meal Plan. All students living on campus are required to participate in a Meal Plan. Students have the ability to use the Meal Plan to buy food they want to eat — whenever and wherever they are hungry. The Meal Plan account works like a debit card, with all of the funds loaded onto the student’s account at the beginning of each semester. The amount of points placed on the student’s account each semester is determined by the plan that they choose. Each time the student makes a purchase, the amount is deducted from the balance. After each purchase, the remaining Meal Plan balance is displayed at the cash register so that the student can keep track of their remaining balance throughout the semester. A receipt is provided on request.

The Meal Plan is for the undergraduate fall and spring semesters or the professional Pharmacy fall, spring, and summer terms. Students may increase their meal plan at any time, but any reduction to meal plans must be completed prior to the start of each term. For more details, including menus and other dining services, please visit cafebonappetit.com/Pacific or contact the Residential Life & Housing Office at 209.946.2331 or iamhome@pacific.edu. First-Year, Second-Year, and UpperDivision Students Living On Campus First- and second-year students are required to select one of three different meal plans: Platinum, Gold, or Silver.
10
Upper Division students living in oncampus apartments may also select either a Bronze or Copper Plan. Grubhub Grubhub is a mobile phone app that allows students to utilize their PacificCard™ to purchase food both on and off campus. They simply download the app to their phone, link to their Pacific ID number in their user account, and then they can use their housing Meal Plan to purchase food on campus, or PacificCash™ to purchase food at locations both on and off campus! By using Grubhub, students can order ahead and pick up food rather than waiting in line. Grubhub and PacificCard™ help save time and skip the line!
collegiateparent.com/school/university-of-the-pacific
Laundry There are front-loading washers and dryers in every Residence Hall and Apartment Community. The use of the washers and dryers is included in the on-campus living experience and can be accessed by residents using their PacificCard™.
Fraternity and Sorority Life Membership in a fraternity or sorority is a good first step to enjoying all the benefits that college life has to offer and a way to make the campus feel more like home. Pacific has many social, professional, and service-based fraternities and sororities. Fraternities and sororities provide opportunities for diverse and lasting social networks, academic support, and positive
group experiences. Fraternity and sorority members at Pacific place a high priority on academic excellence and community service. Many of our organizations provide organized study sessions and incentives for academic success. In the area of community service, fraternities and sororities regularly volunteer time to various organizations in the Stockton community, and conduct fundraising for national charities. Equally important, Pacific fraternities and sororities offer the opportunity for leadership positions that can enrich your student’s Pacific experience. Information about each organization can be found through our student organization platform TigerLink (pacific.presence.io). Additional information is also available on the Fraternity & Sorority Life website (pacific.edu/greeklife).

Q U E S TIO N S Academic Support When are professors available to meet with my student? Professors at Pacific are very accessible to students. Students can drop in without an appointment during their professors’ official weekly office hours — listed on the course syllabus — or make an appointment with them.
What are general education courses and how will they benefit my student? The General Education Program exposes students to areas of study outside of their major in support of the three-part mission of general education at Pacific: fostering self-understanding, citizenship, and career development. Courses help each Pacific student develop core competencies
12
(critical thinking, information literacy, oral communication, quantitative reasoning, written communication) and additional GE learning outcomes (crosscultural awareness, ethical reasoning, civic responsibility and engagement, and aesthetic judgment) while also promoting diversity and inclusive excellence. These outcomes are addressed through the three courses in the signature Pacific Seminar series, which has been nationally recognized for excellence, and through the breadth program requirements for each major. Pacific’s General Education Program is the foundation for the intellectual and practical skills crucial for life-long learning and the rapidly changing nature of employment in today’s workforce. GE courses are required for graduation.
collegiateparent.com/school/university-of-the-pacific
How can a student receive academic advice?
Where can my student find tutoring and what will it cost?
Each new student is assigned to a Faculty Advisor and is required to meet with their Faculty Advisor before course registration each semester. The Faculty Advisor can be consulted for course selection decisions, major information, and academic questions. The Academic Advising Center is also available to assist students with creating a four-year plan and other academic information.
The General Academic Tutoring Center is located on the second floor of the library, next to the Student Writing Center. There is no cost for this service. To sign up for a tutor, students can simply visit our scheduling site at pacific.mywconline.com. Students can schedule an appointment to meet with a tutor in a variety of subjects. Tutors are available on a first-come, firstserved basis depending on availability. General Academic Tutoring Center tutors are trained in different tutoring techniques and learning styles and work with all university undergraduate students on the Stockton campus.

Finances Is there a monthly payment plan available if we cannot pay tuition or housing in full at the beginning of each semester? Pacific offers a monthly payment plan, which allows you to make four monthly payments, the first of which is due by the semester or term payment deadline. The monthly plan requires a 25 percent down payment in addition to a one-time $75 deferred fee, calculated upon enrollment in the plan. Payment plans are not applicable for summer sessions. Enrollment for the payment plan MUST be completed online each semester or term. Students should use insidePacific to enroll in the payment plan. Parents and other authorized users should use ePay.
When can my student get a parking permit and how much do they cost? Beginning the first Monday in August, students may purchase parking permits online through insidePacific. Students may purchase permits for the “B” or “C” lots only. The yearly cost for a “B” permit is $100 and a “C” permit is $25. For campus residents, the type of permit purchased is based on where they are housed. Once a permit is purchased, all sales are final for the school year. Parking permits are valid during the school year as indicated and not the calendar year. There is no free parking on campus.
Career, Work, and Volunteer Opportunities

How does the Career Services Center help my student determine a major or career direction?
How does the Career Services Center help my student find a job when they graduate?
The Career Services Center (CSC) has qualified, experienced Career Advising and Success Specialists who are available to meet with students. Your student may schedule an appointment to discuss career options and get help assessing interests, skills, values, and personality — all factors to be considered when making major and career decisions. Assessment tools such as the Strong Interest Inventory and iStart Strong are available for free to students, and results are interpreted with a Career Advising and Success Specialist. Students are strongly encouraged to remain engaged with the CSC throughout their time at Pacific.
Your student can meet with a career advisor to review a resume, get help applying to graduate school, discuss job search strategies, practice interviewing, learn to conduct employer research, or receive assistance with any number of other careerrelated issues. Drop-in appointments are available for quick questions. The CSC also offers two one-unit classes: Career Exploration and Planning, and Career Search Essentials. The first course helps students explore careers and develop goals; the second teaches them to prepare resumes, gain interview skills, and develop other abilities necessary for a successful internship or job search.
collegiateparent.com/school/university-of-the-pacific
In addition, the CSC annually provides more than 100 programs and events to help students prepare for their careers including major career fairs in both the fall and spring semesters. On-campus recruiting opportunities with various employers also take place during the academic year. Students are strongly encouraged to gain practical experience through an internship with an employer during their time at Pacific. The CSC can help students locate and apply for internship opportunities. Finally, Tiger Jobs is an electronic database of full-time positions, part-time internships, and on-campus positions posted by employers interested in hiring Pacific students. Employer Engagement Specialists actively work to develop and strengthen the ties of the Career Services Center to regional, national, and international employers.
How can my student find a part-time job on campus? Students seeking to work on campus must apply through the Tiger Jobs system sponsored by the Career Services Center (CSC). New students will have access to Tiger Jobs by mid-summer, if they have confirmed their enrollment with the Admissions Office. Students may visit the CSC website (Pacific.edu/Careers) for tips on applying to on-campus jobs or
call 209.946.2361 for more information or to schedule an appointment with a Career Advising and Success Specialist. Students will log on to Tiger Jobs through insidePacific, click on the “Career� tab, and go to the Tiger Jobs channel. Please note that being awarded federal work-study funds does not guarantee your student an on-campus job, and applying to a position will not guarantee an interview. Individual departments determine their own needs and required skill sets for each position. Sometimes departments will not contact students to let them know that a position has already been filled. If your student has questions about whether they are being considered for a job, they should follow up by directly contacting the department to which they have applied.
My student volunteered in high school. How do they continue with this while at Pacific? There are many opportunities to volunteer with other students throughout the Stockton community. Pacific’s Center for Community Involvement (CCI) can get students started by understanding their interests. Volunteering is a great way to get to know the community better. For detailed information, please consult Pacific.edu/Reachout or give us a call at 209.946.2444.

Student Life How can I help my student find out about clubs and organizations on campus? Pacific uses an organization management software that provides information on student organizations and how to get involved with the over 140 student organizations. Students will receive more information during Orientation and at the start of the fall semester. Pacific also has a Student Activities Center with staff dedicated to helping students get involved on campus. The center offers individual advising to help students join organizations, apply for leadership positions, and find out what’s happening on campus. This center also offers an Involvement Fair in the fall semester on the DeRosa Center Lawn where students can meet the leadership of Pacific’s student organizations. The Student Activities Center is located on the 2nd Floor of the McCaffrey Center across from the Academic Advising & Career Services Center.

For those who want to go further, we have a great public transit system that runs through the main areas of town. San Joaquin RTD has a stop at Pacific and runs throughout Stockton and the surrounding areas.

Are there religious services or spiritual organizations on campus?
How can my student join a fraternity or sorority if they become interested?

There they will find details about recurring programs such as Student Group Meetings, Morning Prayer, Meditation, Catholic Mass, and more. They will also find specific information about student religious and spiritual organizations as well as the Chaplain’s Office.
Incoming first-year students are invited to participate in recruitment or intake for organizations during the spring semester — a process known as deferred recruitment. In order to participate, students must have completed 12 units of college coursework and have a 2.50 cumulative grade point average. Events are held during the fall semester to introduce new students to the social fraternities and sororities at Pacific.
What are the fraternities and sororities on campus? The 11 social fraternities and sororities at Pacific exist amongst three governing bodies, the Interfraternity Council (IFC), the Multicultural Greek Council (MGC), and the Pacific Panhellenic Association (Panhellenic Council).

Recreation What is Intramural Sports? Intramural Sports is a program that offers a wide range of sport and recreation activities for the Pacific community. A variety of events create an exciting environment for students to compete in both competitive and recreational sports outside of the classroom.

Pacific Alumni Association Welcome to University of the Pacific! The Alumni Association oversees activities, events, and benefits for University of the Pacific Alumni. The Association is made up of eight staff members and a 30-member volunteer board of directors, and hosts more than 150 programs and events each year. The Pacific Alumni Association is a non-dues-based organization, which means any student who attends for one year and leaves in good standing can take advantage of alumni benefits and services. Here are just a few ways the Alumni Association plans to connect with you and your student during the 2020–2021 school year:
Career Networking The Pacific Alumni Association, in collaboration with the Career Services Center, helps students make meaningful and productive connections with alumni. The Tiger-to-Tiger Networking app gives students, regardless of their class standing, access to alumni to gain firsthand knowledge of career paths and receive general career guidance. Alumni are regular guest speakers in Pacific Seminar classes, providing excellent examples of community and professional engagement. The Alumni Association regularly sponsors on-campus networking events to bring students and alumni together.
Homecoming and Family Weekend The Alumni Association understands that Pacific is as much an experience for you as it is for your student. Mark your calendar for October 9-11, 2020 for Homecoming and Family Weekend with the entire Pacific community and an opportunity to connect with your student and create new memories. Weekend festivities include Food Truck Frenzy, Tiger Rally, a champagne reception for parents, and alumni vintners and brewers at Taste of Pacific. It’s a party for the whole Tiger family and we can’t wait to see you!
Traditions Pacific students and their families have an open invitation to visit the Alex and Jeri Vereschagin Alumni House and learn about Pacific’s history and traditions from the displays and exhibits located in the house. Since it opened in the summer of 2011, the Vereschagin Alumni House has become one of the premiere event spaces on campus. Reserve the Alumni House for your special event by phoning 209.946.2610 or email AlumniHouse@pacific.edu. The Alumni Association is honored that your student has chosen to attend this wonderful University. We are proud of the legacy that alumni have left to their alma mater and we expect your student will add luster to the rich heritage of Pacific.
