Payments and Payment SchedulesPacifica's annual tuition and fees are billed quarterly. Tuition and residential/non-residential fees are due 14 days prior to the first day of class for each quarter for all continually enrolled students. All other fees, such as additional lodging, library fines and late fees, are due before the end of the month in which the billing was received. To ensure continued enrollment in a program, students must pay their student account balance on a timely basis, which keeps them in 'good financial standing'.
Quarterly Tuition and fees, not covered by Financial Aid funds, must be paid in full 14 days prior to the first day of class for each quarter.
Students may make payments either by personal check, money order, cashier's check or by credit card (MasterCard, Visa, American Express {AMEX} or Discover). We also accept wire transfers for international students. To pay via credit card, go online to your my.pacifica.edu account. Click on 'Self-Service' and log on. If you have trouble logging in, please contact our IT Support. They can be contacted via email at ITSupport@pacifica.edu or phone at 805-679-6199. Once logged in, please click on the tab labeled 'Finance' then on 'Balance'. The 'Statement' option will give you a recent statement, but not necessarily your current balance.
If you are paying by credit card and using a Mac, we find that the Firefox browser works best. PC users may use either Firefox or Internet Explorer. Students must choose a year, term, and session and turn off your pop-up blocker for this site. Enter the amount you are to pay, deleting any '$' or commas. Click Make a Payment and follow the instructions from that point.
If you are paying by check, please send the payment to:
Pacifica Graduate Institute
Attn: Student Accounts Office
249 Lambert Road
Carpinteria, CA 93013
A late fee of $100 will be assessed to student accounts each quarter if payment for tuition and residential/non-residential fees is not received by Pacifica Graduate Institute, by the end of the first day of the quarter.
