Payments and Payment Schedules
Pacifica’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 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.
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 check or by credit card (MasterCard, Visa, American Express {AMEX} or Discover). To pay via credit card, go online to your "my.pacifica.edu" account. Once you have logged in, look at the left-hand side of the screen, and click on ‘Online Payment’.
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. Interest may also be added to overdue accounts at the rate of 10% per annum. Payment Schedules (download)
