Financial Responsibility

Student Financial Responsibility Agreement Acknowledgements – Your agreement to the terms and conditions contained herein are required for your registration at the University of the Pacific.

I acknowledge that when I register for any courses with the University of the Pacific or receive services or purchase goods, I am responsible for all “charges” as they are posted to my account but are not limited to tuition, fees, room and board, meal plans, Laptop Agreement, bookstore charges and library fees. I further understand and agree that my registration and acceptance of these terms constitutes a promissory note agreement (i.e., a financial obligation in the form of an educational loan as defined by the U.S. Bankruptcy Code at 11 U.S.C. § 523 (a) (8) in which the University of the Pacific is providing me educational services, deferring some or all of my payment obligation for those services, and I promise to pay for all assessed tuition, fees, and other associated costs by the published or assigned due date.

I understand and agree that if I fail to satisfy my financial obligation to the University of the Pacific, I will receive no benefits from the University of the Pacific until my account is brought current. The benefits which may be terminated include but are not limited to, course registration, grades, and diplomas. Any outstanding charges due on your student account will be transferred to a Student Note Loan with the Student Loan Department, of the University of the Pacific for servicing.

Upon transfer, the University of the Pacific will begin charging interest at the rate of 10% each month on the Student Note Loan Balance. This defaulted Student Note Loan balance is subject to agency collection fees, which may be based on a percentage, with a maximum of 40% of debt, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees we incur in such collection efforts after the University’s efforts have failed to result in the full payment of my account.

As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit reporting agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your financial obligations to the University of the Pacific. Failure to make payments on time will result in loss of housing, suspension of meal plans, and termination of enrolled student status and will result in being declined future payment plan options with the University of the Pacific. It is your responsibility to ensure that all financial aid is properly credited to your account. The University of the Pacific has the right to increase their fees and charges as needed. Registration constitutes my agreement to all the forgoing terms and conditions.

I understand and agree that if I drop enrollment in some or all of the classes or decide to withdraw from the University, I must complete and submit all required online or hard-copy documentation by the applicable deadlines listed at www.pacific.edu. I acknowledge that lack of class attendance does not constitute an official drop or withdrawal, and I will still be responsible for payment of my tuition and fees.

If some, or all, of my financial aid is revoked because I dropped or failed to attend class, I agree to repay all aid that was disbursed to my account and resulted in a credit balance that was refunded to me.

A financial hold will be placed on my account whenever charges are not paid by the due date, and late fees will be assessed. If my account balance becomes delinquent and a hold is placed on my account, it will prevent enrollment in classes. Additionally, I cannot be issued a diploma until my account balance is paid in full or brought into a current status. At the discretion of the University, I may be administratively dropped from my courses for nonpayment.

As a material part of this agreement, I understand and agree, in order for the University of the Pacific to manage my account or to collect any amounts I may owe, the University of the Pacific, or it’s agent and contractors may contact me at my current, and any future, home phone number(s), work phone number(s), cellular phone number(s), email(s), address(es), or wireless device(s) regarding my delinquent student account, which may result in additional charges to me. Note that the University will continue to communicate with you at your school email address unless you notify the University that you no longer use the school email address or provide the University with a different email address. Methods of contact may include, text messages, voice messages and/or use of an automatic dialing device, as applicable. I understand that email communications or voicemail messages may disclose financial information if you give permission for someone to access your email or voicemail or if you access or disclose the contents of an email or voicemail in the presence of a third party. I have read this disclosure and despite the possibility of third-party disclosures, I agree that the University of the Pacific and its appointed agents may contact me as described above.

I will immediately communicate any change of my legal name, SSN/TIN, address, phone number, email and citizenship/visa, or other contact information, to the University of the Pacific and keep my student account information up to date, per the instructions found at www.pacific.edu or by contacting the Student Loans office at 209-946-2446. If I have not updated my contact information as required, I am aware that communications may be sent to the wrong address.

If I wish to allow the University of the Pacific to communicate with my parents or a third party about my personal information, I must complete the appropriate FERPA forms, which can be found at www.my.pacific.edu. The University of the Pacific may disclose personal information to servicing agencies and other agents for the purpose of conducting university business while maintaining data security as required by law.

I consent to have any financial credits apply to any miscellaneous campus fees assessed to my billing account. I understand that my payment obligation remains whether or not I view my billing statement, and whether or not my account is being paid by me or someone else.

I understand that the University of the Pacific uses electronic notification of outstanding debts and due dates as its official billing method, and therefore I am responsible for viewing and paying outstanding debts by their scheduled due date. I further understand that failure to review my account for due dates does not constitute a valid reason for not paying my debts on time.

I consent to electronic delivery of IRS Form 1098-T, which is necessary to obtain a tax credit, exclusively online at www.1098t.com. I understand that I can withdraw consent by contacting the appropriate office below to identify the paper process by which to request paper 1098-Ts.

I will receive written confirmation of my request when completed. After giving consent, I can obtain a paper copy of Form 1098-T by requesting in person at Student Business Services. I understand that I only need to consent once for current and future years. Not consenting or withdrawing consent to electronic delivery will result in having the 1098-T Form go through the postal service to an address on file, which I must keep up to date. If my e-mail address or mailing address is not current, I may not receive my Form 1098-T.

If I do not waive student health insurance, I consent to electronic delivery of the IRS Form 1095-B, which is necessary to avoid a health care tax penalty, to my email address on file. I understand that I can withdraw consent by contacting the student health insurance office to identify the paper process by which to request paper 1095-B. I understand that I only need to consent once for current and future years. Not consenting or withdrawing consent will result in having the 1095-B Form go through the postal service to an address on file which I must keep up to date. If my e-mail address or mailing address is not current, I may not receive my 1095-B form.

In addition, University of the Pacific has the authority to transition to remote or online learning and operations and to continue charging the same tuition and fees without partial or total refund, unless a fee pertains specifically to a service that is terminated (e.g., on-campus parking, housing, etc.). The transition to remote or online learning and operations may be due to a variety of force majeure reasons (e.g., public health orders). Similarly, the tuition and fee obligations will remain the same and not subject to any refund if, for any reason, a student is permitted by the University of the Pacific to complete a term remotely or in combination of remote and in-person instruction.

I have read, understand, and consent to the terms of this agreement, as applicable, and that I have an opportunity to ask any questions I may have by contacting the Student Accounts Office at 209-946-2517.

In order to receive a bill that includes tuition and fees prior to the payment deadline, you must early register for courses. Please note that students with delinquent accounts are not permitted to register. It is the students’ responsibility to pay by the deadline, regardless of receiving a statement. Students can obtain their current account balance by logging into MyPacific. The University sends monthly electronic billing statements. Students receive a monthly email notifying them that their statement is ready for viewing. This statement notification email is also sent to any Authorized Users that the student establishes. Authorized Users do not have access to any other student information through this site. The billing statement can be printed from the computers located in the lobby of the Finance Center or by a request to the Student Accounts Office.

All electronic correspondence is sent to the student’s u.pacific.edu email address.

A dispute of any charge on your student account must be submitted in writing to the Student Accounts Office within sixty days from the date of billing. If you fail to comply within the sixty day time period, you may forfeit your rights to dispute the charge in the future.

Payment of Bills

Tuition, fees, and room and board, if applicable, are due in full by the payment deadline. The payment deadlines are August 1st for the fall semester and January 1st for the spring semester for general students.  Any outstanding balances from prior semesters must be paid in full as well as the current semester payment, by the deadline. Students who have not yet registered can estimate their payment amount by utilizing the Calculation Worksheets available at the Student Business Services website. Payments for the intended enrollment must be made by the deadline, even if the student has not completed their course registration. Late fees will be assessed for payments received after the deadline. Failure to complete financial obligations can result in the cancellation of registration.

University of the Pacific offers a payment plan which allows a student account to be paid in monthly installments each semester. The payment plan requires a down payment (1st payment) at the time of enrollment and non-refundable deferment fee applied to the first installment. Deferment fees are as follows: 3-month payment plan $25 deferment fee, 4-month payment plan $75 deferment fee and 5-month payment plan $75 deferment fee. Payment Plans are not applicable for Summer Sessions except for Professional Pharmacy/Health Sciences Programs. Enrollment for the payment plan MUST be completed online.  

Payment in full is required by the payment deadline.

It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that all financial aid is properly credited to his/her account.

Payments can be made by cash, paper check, money order, cashiers check, and electronic checks. Payments must be received by the deadline; postmarks are not acceptable. Payments by check or cash can be made in person at the Cashiers Office, located in the Finance Center. If making payment by mail, please send check or money order to the attention of Student Accounts. Please include the student’s university identification number or send a copy of the statement, which can be downloaded and printed, in order to ensure proper payment application.

Students who have not paid in full, completed all financial aid requirements and/or enrolled in the monthly payment plan by the payment deadline, are assessed a $150 late payment fee. A late fee of $50 is assessed for any payments made after the due date.

Failure to make payments as agreed can result in the University of the Pacific canceling all financial arrangements, a student’s registration, and denying all University services.

Any payment on the student account that is returned by a financial institution for any reason can lead to cancellation of registration. If registration is cancelled for the semester, the student will not receive credit for those courses. A returned payment fee of $25 is assessed for the first returned payment. Any payment returned subsequently is assessed a $35 returned payment fee. After two (2) returned payments, the University can suspend both electronic and paper check writing privileges and institute collection and/or legal actions against the payer. The student’s account is then placed on a finance hold thus preventing the student from receiving any services from the University.

If payments exceed charges on a student account, the account is said to have a credit balance. Credit balances are to be returned to the student based upon the method of payment. The student account is not to be used as a means for cash advances or payments to third parties. Credit balances resulting from cash payments will be refunded to the student. A credit balance that results from a check payment is refunded after 14 business days. Credit balances that result from refundable student loans and scholarships are refunded automatically. All financial aid must be disbursed on the student account before a refund is processed. Refunds are issued on a weekly basis.

Effective August 1, 2021, any student using CH31 (Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment benefits) or CH33 (Post-9/11 G.I. Bill) is protected from any penalties imposed by our University while waiting for the VA to make tuition and fee payments.

Refund of Tuition and Fees

The following refund schedule pertains only to tuition charges and is applicable when the student drops below full time enrollment or officially withdraws from the University. Students who intend to withdraw must notify the Office of the Registrar.

Refunds are based upon a percentage of calendar days. Calendar days of a semester may vary from semester to semester. For exact dates, please refer to the Student Accounts website or contact their office.

Notification and withdrawal before classes begin – No charge.

First day of classes until last day to add – $150 clerical charge.

After Census Day no refund.

Fees are non-refundable after the last day to add courses for the semester.

Housing and meal plan charges are refunded on a prorated basis as determined by the Office of Residential Life & Housing. Refunds are based upon per diem charges and actual approved check out date.

If the student reducing units or withdrawing from the University is a financial aid recipient, the student’s financial aid award may be adjusted according to federal and state regulations and University policy. If the student has received more federal financial aid dollars than earned, the unearned aid must be returned to the federal financial aid program or programs from which it was paid. The funds remaining on the student account after federal financial aid is returned might not cover all the charges on the account. Any remaining balance is owed to the University and is due and payable immediately. The Financial Aid Office can provide additional information related to changes in financial aid awards.

Tuition and Fees on this page are for the following professional programs on the Sacramento campus.

International Dental Studies (IDS)

All information applies to the DDS Program. Not all information applies to the IDS, Certificate or Dental Graduate Programs. For more information, contact your program.

University of the Pacific is a private institution with tuition and fees providing about two-thirds of the revenue necessary for the three-year doctoral program. Gifts from alumni, parents and regents, income from endowments, funds from private agencies and other revenue help meet program costs, but inflation and other factors may require annual increases in tuition and fees to provide necessary program revenue.

Like most U.S. universities, Pacific’s Board of Regents sets tuition each year. The board tries to keep increases as low as possible. In recent years, increases have averaged about 3 percent per year—less than most of our peers. Note that tuition and increases can vary between programs to meet specific needs.

Because we offer one of the nation’s only dental programs that can be completed in three calendar years, our dental students pay tuition for three years as opposed to four years at most other dental schools.

Upon notification of acceptance, applicants are required to submit a nonrefundable $1,000 enrollment fee ($500 for the graduate programs) as directed in the acceptance letter in order to hold their place. The fee will be applied to first quarter tuition upon matriculation to the University of the Pacific. First quarter tuition is due and payable before matriculation day. Subsequent payment of tuition is due by the first day of each quarter and is required for registration and continued enrollment.

DDS Tuition and Fees

https://dental.pacific.edu/dental/academic-programs/doctor-of-dental-surgery/tuition-and-fees

The enrollment fee is nonrefundable. The list of fees and expenses should not be considered complete for all students, and includes anticipated costs for outside agencies listed as “special fees.” Fees for the International Dental Studies and the Graduate programs are available through the Division of International Dental Studies, the Department of Orthodontics, and the Department of Endodontics, respectively.

The Student Doctoral Kit includes textbooks, instruments and supplies that are required by the school according to guidelines submitted by the Store Committee. These materials are issued in a kit on matriculation day to all registered students. Instruments and supplies should not be purchased in advance. Release from kit purchases will not be granted. Allowance should be made for additional supplies and instruments that will be required during the educational program.

Fees for student body, class, ASDA and CDA memberships vary each year according to decisions of the student body and the respective classes.

Tuition Refund

Withdrawal: School policy provides that in response to written notice of withdrawal by a student or by an applicant, tuition credit shall be allocated as follows:

  • Prior to matriculation: full credit less the enrollment fee.
  • After matriculation: credit prorated according to calendar days after reduction by the enrollment fee (see below).
  • After first day of class, second through final quarters: credit prorated according to calendar days as follows:
     
    • 1st through 7th day: 80% credit
    • 8th through 14th day: 60% credit
    • 15th through 25th day: 40% credit
    • 26th through 35th day: 20% credit
    • After 35th day: no refund

Dismissal: Upon dismissal for reasons other than misconduct, tuition credit is allocated according to the refund schedule above. When a dismissed student is readmitted, full tuition must be paid for each quarter repeated, or part thereof.

Extended Program

A student who has not fully demonstrated competency to the faculty in all clinical disciplines by the end of the final quarter of the program will be extended beyond graduation. An extended student is not charged tuition for one quarter. Tuition for subsequent quarter(s) or part(s) thereof is charged at 85% of the current rate. In every quarter of the extension, an extended student pays current rates for mandatory health and disability insurance. Upon notification to the dean that performance meets graduation standards, an extended student receives tuition credit of 10% for each full week of instruction remaining in the quarter.

Readmission and Repeat

Repeat students are charged 85% of the current tuition for any quarter repeated and 100% of the current rate thereafter. A student must pay any outstanding account balance to be eligible for readmission or to repeat all or part of an academic year.

Diplomas

A diploma will not be issued until a student's account with the University is paid in full and in the judgment of the school all other requirements have been satisfied. If a diploma is held for financial reasons only, the original graduation date is retained on the record.

Store Refund Policy

A full refund is provided on non-kit items returned within five school days of the date of purchase and within University policy.

Student Accounts

Student accounts are provided for payment of fees and student store charges. This privilege may be restricted for cause.

Student accounts are billed on a monthly basis and are due and payable prior to the next billing date to avoid a late fee.

Students who fail to make payments on accounts in a timely fashion and as billed are subject to suspension from the academic program without further action or procedures. In addition, a student will not be deemed to have met graduation requirements, nor will a diploma be issued, until a student's account with the university is paid in full.

Effective August 1, 2019, any student using CH31 (Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment benefits) or CH33 (Post-9/11 G.I. Bill) is protected from any penalties imposed by our University while waiting for the VA to make tuition and fee payments.

Business Office

The business office manages student accounts, including posting of all charges; collecting payments; and issuing reimbursements.

Patient Accounts

The student is responsible for financial management of assigned comprehensive care patients. This responsibility includes charging correct fees for procedures authorized. Students will not receive credit for a procedure if financial arrangements have not been made prior to initiating care.

Foreign Students

In order to comply with regulations of the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service, the University of the Pacific requires applicants who are not citizens or permanent residents of the United States to submit a detailed certification of finances showing sufficient financial resources for study at the university. Other special information and instructions regarding the admission of international students will be provided upon request.

Additional charges incurred by students following the final day of the add/drop period for the current semester are to be paid in full within five business days after the charges are posted to the student account.  If a student has an Installment Plan on file in the Business Office they can add additional charges to the plan by completing an Installment Plan Amendment form within the five business days.   Late fees will be assessed based on the following schedules:

SUMMER SESSION FEE ASSEMENT & LATE FEES: 

Tuition and fees are to be paid in full on the first day of the session.  Pacific/McGeorge does not offer the deferred payment plan during the summer semester.  Late fees will be assessed the next business day and every 30 days thereafter until the balance is paid. Please refer to the link for the first day of each class below: Academic Calendar

Pacific/McGeorge does not offer the deferred payment plan during the summer semester.  Late fees will be assessed the following business day and every 30 days thereafter until the balance is paid in full. 

Additional charges for any summer session that occur after the first day of class are due the next business day after the charge is assessed on the student account.   Late fees for additional charges will be assessed based upon the academic year billing cycles, which can be found under the BILLING section of this document.

LATE FEE GRIEVANCE:  All grievances relating to late fees are to be made by completing a LATE FEE GRIEVANCE FORM and submitting the form to the Business Office for consideration.  All balances, less the late fee in dispute and any charge that you have notified the Business Office that you are disputing, must be paid in full prior to submitting a late fee grievance form.  Forms can be emailed, faxed or delivered in person to the Business Office.  Forms will be processed within five business days of receipt and an email notification will be sent to the students’ pacific email account regarding the decision.

Installment Plan

INSTALLMENT PLANS FOR ACADEMIC YEARS 2024-2025

INSTALLMENT PLAN:  An installment plan to pay tuition and fees is offered to all students except for those who are attending McGeorge on an F-1 or J-1 visa.  Enrollment for the payment plan MUST be completed online.

If there is a failure to make any of the scheduled payments, as outlined by the signed contract, University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law will assess a late fee, withdraw the student from the current term and may declare the unpaid balance to be in default and demand immediate payment of the entire unpaid balance including: principal, accrued interest, late fees and any applicable collection fee’s.  Collection costs shall not exceed 30% of the principal, interest and late fees at the time of acceleration. 

Because of the short time frame, we do not offer Installment Plans during the summer sessions.

INSTALLMENT PLAN:  This installment plan allows the student to pay tuition and fees in four equal installments.  There is a $40 set-up fee and the student must elect to participate in this plan by the dates in the schedules below:

Refunds

If payments are made by credit/debit card (including, but not limited to tuition, fees and housing charges) and additional financial aid is received after those payments were made, we are bound by our merchant agreement to refund credit card payments before issuing a refund to you. Any credit/debit card payments made within 180 days of the date the credit occurred on the account are returned first, and any additional credit is refunded to the student second.

Any credit balance on your account, which is not impacted by our credit card merchant agreement or as a result of an IFT or wire payment for personal expenses (please see the University policy regarding over-payments above), will be returned to you in the form of a Refund Disbursement; At the beginning of each semester, the McGeorge Business office will begin to process student refunds after the Add/Drop period has ended (typically the second week of the semester). During the rest of the semester, the Business Office refund disbursement schedule will follow the University of the Pacific's check runs which occur on Monday and Wednesday nights. Refunds generated as a result of net financial aid will be mailed to your mailing address on file with the Office of the Registrar. Please allow a delay of up to five (5) business days to receive Refund Disbursements via a paper check. Students that elect to receive Direct Deposit of these disbursements will receive the money typically within three (3) business days. All charges must be paid in full before refunds can be issued from any form of financial aid.

Title IV Authorization to Release Non-Institutional Charges (and prior year charges) Form

In order to use financial aid to cover any charges not directly related to taking a class such as health insurance, bookstore charges, library fines, student locker fees, parking fees, card replacement fees, or returned check fees, the McGeorge Business office must have a completed Title IV Authorization Form (pdf) prior to funding being disbursed.
