Welcome Back

A Return to Active Status student is one who has previously attended University of the Pacific and has been out at least one full year (two consecutive semesters not including summer). If you have been out of school for only one semester, you are not a Return to Active Status student and should contact the Office of the Registrar in order to enroll in classes.

  1. Submit the Return to Active Status application. There is no application fee. Deadlines are July 21 for fall and Dec. 1 for spring. 
     
  2. Submit your sealed transcripts that show any additional coursework completed by July 21 for fall and Dec. 1 for spring.
     
  3. Submit the the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), if applicable. 
     
  4. Contact Student Accounts to check if you have an outstanding balance. (A hold will be placed on your record if you have an unpaid fee/balance, and you will not be able to register for classes.)
     
  5. If you left on probationary or disqualified status, you must be cleared to return by the dean of the school or college you wish to return to. It is your responsibility to set up this appointment once you have been cleared to do so by the Office of Admission.
     
  6. Once you have been re-admitted and notified by the Office of Admission, contact the appropriate School/College/Program for advising purposes.
     
  7. Please note any special requirements listed below for students switching to a new major, Conservatory/music students and athletes.

  • An interview may be required for students wishing to change majors.
     
  • An audition may be required for Conservatory students.
     
  • Student athletes should be in communication with an athletic compliance staff member to discuss eligibility.
     
  • Students applying to return to the Doctor of Pharmacy Program at the Thomas J. Long School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences who cannot complete the degree within five years of initially entering the professional program or who previously attended under a different major are required to submit a new PharmCAS and supplemental application. If the curriculum has changed since you left the program, you will be required to complete the new curriculum in full. New applications can be found here.
