Welcome to the Pacific community.
Now that you’ve been admitted, here's what you need to know.
Submit final transcripts. If you were admitted with pending documents, your admission letter outlines which transcripts are required. Official transcripts must be ordered directly from the higher education institution you attended and submitted to the Graduate Admission Office no later than two weeks prior to the start of classes.
Transcripts can be sent:
By email to: gradadmission@pacific.edu

If your courses begin in the summer, you will need to file a 2025-26 FAFSA prior to June 30, 2026 and also complete the 2026-27 FAFSA. If you start in the fall, you will only complete the 2026-27 FAFSA.
- Review billing and financial aid. You will be notified by email when you financial aid award letter is ready for review at pacific.awardletter.com. Billing and financial information is located in the My.pacific.edu portal, in the Billing widget on the home dashboard. Here you can ensure that financial aid and payments for courses and programs are met by the appropriate payment deadlines, or enroll in a monthly payment plan.
NOTE: Loans must be accepted through MyPacific and loan documents completed by following these steps before aid can be applied toward your bill.
If you have questions about billing and payments you can reach Student Accounts at studentaccounts@pacific.edu. For financial aid questions, reach out to the office on your specific campus: Sacramento: finaid@pacific.edu, Stockton: financialaid@pacific.edu, and San Francisco: sf_finaid@pacific.edu.
- Enroll or waive student health insurance. Students will automatically be enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP). If you don't need SHIP, you must submit an insurance waiver prior to the first day of classes. Complete information about SHIP and the Insurance Waiver can be found on the Student Health Services page.
NOTE: Students enrolled in an online program will not be required to submit health insurance.
- Stay compliant with the university immunization policy. You are required to submit immunization records in order to attend on-campus classes. Review the immunization policy and submit your records through healthservices.pacific.edu. On the left-hand side of the portal, you will find the link to immunization records.
NOTE: Students enrolled in an online program with no in-person requirements will not be required to submit immunization records.
