Campus & Community Information

PacificCard™

The PacificCard™ is your student’s multi-purpose University ID card. The PacificCard™ is used to enter campus facilities, access services at the library, enter athletic events, purchase food both on and off campus, and for access to their laundry account in the residence halls. Have your student create a guest access login so you can easily add funds to their PacificCash™! For more information and to download our mobile apps, visit MyPacificCard.com. Also, follow us on Twitter or Instagram for news, updates, and more: @PacificCard.

PacificCash™

PacificCash™ is a debit account on your student’s PacificCard™ to which you add value. PacificCash™ purchasing power is very broad; the funds from PacificCash™ can be used for food on campus at a discount, off-campus purchases at various local retailers and restaurants, purchases from the Pepsi vending machines in our academic buildings, and utilizing the PacificPrint copy and print machines around campus.

Anyone can add value to a student’s PacificCash™ account by visiting MyPacificCard.com, choosing “Add Cash Now,” and entering the student’s Pacific ID# and credit card information. Students can add value via credit card to their PacificCash™ account on the website, as well as via our mobile app (available for iOS or Android). Additionally, students can add value using cash or credit card at one of the PacificCard™ Kiosks in The Lair, Library, and Pharmacy Branch Library, or by visiting the PacificCard™ office in person during normal business hours.

Using a guest access login to our website is the easy and convenient way to add funds to your student’s card and help monitor account balances. By setting up email reminders, you can be notified when your student’s PacificCash™ reaches a certain threshold and it’s time to deposit more.

Campus Employment

In order to work on campus, students need to obtain a “Legal Status to Work Card” from Human Resources. Students will need their driver’s license and social security card, U.S. Passport, or birth certificate to obtain this card.

Many departments on campus offer workstudy options. Students should review their financial aid package on insidePacific or contact the Financial Aid office at 209.946.2421 to determine if they qualify for work-study.

Campus Dining

Bon Appetit offers students a variety of dining options, meal plans, and dining facilities. Each facility features a variety of menu options such as a salad bar, homestyle soups, freshly baked desserts, and beverages. At least one vegetarian entrée is featured at each meal. Our Market Place dining selections cater to a variety of specialty diets and include gluten-free pizza, pasta, and bread.

Dining facilities at Pacific include the Marketplace (our main dining facility located in the DeRosa University Center),

The Lair (pub-style eatery located in the DeRosa University Center), the Calaveras Coffee House, the Health Sciences Café (located in the Health Sciences Learning Center), and the “Easy Artisan Takeout” (E.A.T) food truck located on South campus. In addition, students may purchase any of the items offered at the Grove Grocery, located in the McCaffrey Center, with the Meal Plan.

All students living on campus are required to participate in a Meal Plan.

Students have the ability to use the Meal Plan to buy food they want to eat — whenever and wherever they are hungry. The Meal Plan account works like a debit card, with all of the funds loaded onto the student’s account at the beginning of each semester. The amount of points placed on the student’s account each semester is determined by the plan that they choose. Each time the student makes a purchase, the amount is deducted from the balance. After each purchase, the remaining Meal Plan balance is displayed at the cash register so that the student can keep track of their remaining balance throughout the semester. A receipt is provided on request.

The Meal Plan is for the undergraduate fall and spring semesters or the professional Pharmacy fall, spring, and summer terms. Students may increase their meal plan at any time, but any reduction to meal plans must be completed prior to the start of each term.

For more details, including menus and other dining services, please visit cafebonappetit.com/Pacific or contact the Residential Life & Housing Office at 209.946.2331 or iamhome@pacific.edu.

First-Year, Second-Year, and UpperDivision Students Living On Campus

First- and second-year students are required to select one of three different meal plans: Platinum, Gold, or Silver. Upper Division students living in oncampus apartments may also select either a Bronze or Copper Plan.

Grubhub

Grubhub is a mobile phone app that allows students to utilize their PacificCard™ to purchase food both on and off campus. They simply download the app to their phone, link to their Pacific ID number in their user account, and then they can use their housing Meal Plan to purchase food on campus, or PacificCash™ to purchase food at locations both on and off campus! By using Grubhub, students can order ahead and pick up food rather than waiting in line. Grubhub and PacificCard™ help save time and skip the line!

Laundry

There are front-loading washers and dryers in every Residence Hall and Apartment Community. The use of the washers and dryers is included in the on-campus living experience and can be accessed by residents using their PacificCard™.

Fraternity and Sorority Life

Membership in a fraternity or sorority is a good first step to enjoying all the benefits that college life has to offer and a way to make the campus feel more like home. Pacific has many social, professional, and service-based fraternities and sororities. Fraternities and sororities provide opportunities for diverse and lasting social networks, academic support, and positive

group experiences. Fraternity and sorority members at Pacific place a high priority on academic excellence and community service. Many of our organizations provide organized study sessions and incentives for academic success. In the area of community service, fraternities and sororities regularly volunteer time to various organizations in the Stockton community, and conduct fundraising for national charities. Equally important, Pacific fraternities and sororities offer the opportunity for leadership positions that can enrich your student’s Pacific experience. Information about each organization can be found through our student organization platform TigerLink (pacific.presence.io). Additional information is also available on the Fraternity & Sorority Life website (pacific.edu/greeklife).
