Want more this summer?
At Pacific, we offer high-quality summer courses that can expand educational opportunities for our current students, future students, and the local community in a compact, five-week schedule. Summer Sessions can help you get ahead, catch up, try something new, expand your personal or professional horizons — and even earn while you learn through internships and experiential learning!
Members of the community can register for regular University courses without having to apply for admission to Pacific or submit transcripts. Individuals can advance academically and professionally through courses taught by our world-class faculty. Summer Sessions also gives both Pacific and non-Pacific students the ability to continue academic programs year-round at a reduced tuition rate. Students can take extra courses towards a minor or another major, investigate new interests, complete GE requirements or get an exceptionally challenging class out of the way without the distraction of other courses.
Summer Sessions registration for current Pacific students begins March 31, 2024. Registration for new unclassified students begins April 14, 2025; new students must complete an Unclassified Student Form to obtain access to MyPacific and register.
- Session I: May 12 - June 13
- Session II: June 17 - July 18
- Session III: July 21 - Aug. 22
Most University courses are open to anyone during Summer Sessions. Students may register without formal application for any course for which they have the necessary background. Participation in Pacific Summer Sessions does not imply that you will be authorized for enrollment in the regular academic year.
Current/Continuing Pacific Students
Currently enrolled business, engineering, computer science and pharmacy students must see their advisor prior to Summer Sessions registration. All other students are advised, but not required, to see their faculty advisor.
Undergraduate Admission
If you are new to Pacific, please be sure to submit a First-Time Unclassified Student Form so that we can establish your access to Pacific systems including email and registration tools.
If you want to continue at Pacific after completing summer session coursework, you must make a formal application for admission by the application deadline. If you have reached the 27-unit maximum, you must also file an application for admission to continue studies at Pacific.
High School Students
High school students are invited to enroll in courses numbered below 100 for the purpose of earning college credit, sampling the college experience, and/or to accelerate their college preparation. Please be sure to submit a First-Time Unclassified Student Form so that we can establish your access to Pacific systems including email and registration tools.
Graduate Admission
Students interested in working toward a graduate degree or credential must file an application for admission with the Office of Graduate Admission. For admission for the first summer session, the file must be completed by March 1. Graduate standing may be granted to persons who hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university and who have no less than a "B" average in all upper division work. Admission to Credential Standing requires a grade point average of 2.5 or higher (4.0 scale). For further information contact the Office of Graduate Admission at 209.946.3929.

Graphic design major Emilie Jenkins wanted to add a minor in Business Leadership to her degree in order to advance her goal of becoming a creative director at a firm when she graduates. However, she couldn’t fit a course she needed into her fall or spring schedules. She took the class over the summer out of necessity but found a surprising advantage.
“The biggest benefit was being able to slow down and really learn the content. I gained foundational knowledge in that class because I was able to really focus on just that one subject. It will help me in my career as I eventually work to be a leader in the workplace."
Student Accounts

Financial Aid
Continuing Pacific students and new or returning students whose admission is effective in summer may qualify for assistance in the form of a Federal Student Loan. However, because program regulations restrict students to a maximum annual loan amount, borrowing for summer usually results in reduced loan eligibility during the regular academic year. Undergraduate students who qualify for Federal Pell Grants may also be eligible for Summer Pell Grant payments. Continuing and readmitted students must make satisfactory academic progress to qualify for financial aid. Please visit the Financial Aid & Cost website for more information.
Summer 2024 housing applications are LIVE on the Housing Portal from April 8 through April 19 for students who are registered for courses. Space is not guaranteed and meal plans are required. Summer rates can be found here.
