Dear Pacific Summer High School Institute Families, 

Thank you for enrolling your student. Before they can join us this summer, we need to make sure that we have all necessary information from you. 

Every student of the Pacific Summer High School Institute will have their own Pacific ID card, which they will swipe for meals, for entry into their residence hall and much else. You can upload your student's ID photo on our enrollment portal, so that we can welcome them to our campus with the photo ID card ready for them. 

While we want students to embrace new experiences, including living with a new roommate in a college residence hall, we also understand that in some cases, a student may have a request to live with a specific person. 

We are happy to accommodate roommate requests, as long as they are according to the following two criteria: Roommate requests need to be 1) for the same gender; 2) need to be mutually agreed upon, meaning both students need to request each other. Roommate pairings will be based on the submitted Pacific ID numbers. You can find the Pacific ID in an email that you received shortly after registration, with the subject line "Your Pacific ID" and it is also pre-filled for your student in the "Photo Upload and Roommate Request" form, see below.

You can submit the photo and this information by Monday, May 18 (Session 1) or June 1 (Session 2) in one of the following ways: 

Preferred method: Please go to pacific.jumbula.com and after logging in, click Home in the menu bar, which will give you a list of forms to fill out. 

  • If you haven’t already filled out the "2026 Medical Form", please do it immediately.
  • Then, please click on Fill it now next to the "Photo Upload and Roommate Request" form and edit the form, where you can both upload the ID photo and request a specific roommate. Roommate pairings will be based on the submitted Pacific ID numbers (and not by names), so make sure that the ID numbers are correct. 

Alternate method: If the above didn’t work, you can go to a simple online form, where you can both upload the ID photo and request a specific roommate. Again, roommate pairings will be based on the submitted Pacific ID numbers, so make sure that they are correct. 

Only in case where neither of these methods work: You can also email the photo directly to idphoto@pacific.edu and put the Pacific ID for your student into the subject line. 

Remember that the above information needs to be submitted by the above deadlines (May 18 / June 1).

To learn more on how prepare for our summer institute, please keep studying the enrolled students pages on our website. 

For support or additional questions, please contact Faith Arano, Summer High School Institute Program Manager, at pacifichsinstitute@pacific.edu. We look forward to welcoming you and your student to the Pacific campus soon! 

Dear Pacific Summer High School Institute Families,

We are about a week away from the start of the Pacific Summer High School Institute, and we cannot wait to welcome you to our campus!

Registered students' resources

As you prepare for the summer institute, we would like to draw your attention again to the enrolled students' pages of our website, where we share more details about what to expect across the pre-college experience at Pacific.

These pages include:

  • Pre-arrival information to prepare for check-in and check-out days.
  • An overview of how our students will map out their weekdays and weekend.
  • A detailed schedule of the types of co-curricular activities our students will enjoy outside of the classroom.
  • A list of previous emails, in case you might have missed one.

In addition to these web pages, information pertaining to co-curricular activities, event location updates, or if activities get added to the schedule will be posted throughout campus, centered around DeRosa University Center, which will act as a main hub throughout the summer institute. This summer, we will also use a new smartphone app, Pacific Guides, available for Apple and Android devices. Our campus map, daily co-curricular activities schedule, academic program locations are already available through the in-app guidebook.

Info Night on ZOOM

On May 26 at 6pm, we are hosting a parent information meeting on ZOOM to help our summer institute families prepare for the program. We are providing an update on the expectations, the timeline and schedules, how to prepare for the program, the check-in processes, and answer all your questions.

Campus visits

We welcome families of our students to visit our campus during their summer institute session, but please be aware that some buildings, spaces, and co-curricular activities may only be accessible to registered students. This includes our residential halls, Baun Fitness Center, Chris Kjeldsen Pool, and our Pickleball and Padel Courts.

Signing out to go off campus

As a friendly reminder, once checked in, summer institute students cannot leave campus on their own. Students must be signed out and back in by an authorized adult family member (government ID required). Please limit the number of sign-out requests to essential appointments only. Students can only be signed out and back in at the DeRosa University Center front desk during the hours of 7am–10pm (weekdays) and 8am–10pm (weekends).
