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, 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 each quarter. Students who request a payment plan needs to submit their request PRIOR to the first day of Fall class. To request payment plans, please contact Emily Martinez at EMartinez@pacifica.edu.

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 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.

Payments are due on or before the first day of class.

Please make checks payable to 51ÉçÇø and mail to:

51ÉçÇø
Attn: Student Accounts Office
249 Lambert Road
Carpinteria, CA 93013

Online statements are posted 5-10 days prior to the start of class and students will receive a billing notification via e-mail. Students will be able to access their online statements at the time notifications are sent.

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 51ÉçÇø, by the end of the first day of the quarter.
