Certificate of Finances

For International Students Only

Total cost of attending University of the Pacific as an international student can be found here. University costs rise approximately 3% each year.  If you are not a U.S. citizen or been classified by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service as a permanent resident, you must certify that you have sufficient financial resources for each year of your intended stay in the U.S.

In addition, you must provide the University with a recent financial guarantee or recommendation in the form of a letter from a financial institution showing the specific dollar amount per year available to you and the duration of its availability. If your study will be sponsored by a government agency or foreign embassy the letter of sponsorship must show the term for which you are applying for admission, the academic major or field of study to be sponsored and the length of sponsorship.

The University may require further certification of finances or advanced payment of tuition and fees from students whose funds originate in countries where severe currency restrictions exist. If you will be accompanied in the U.S., allow $3,000-3,500 per year for each dependent. The University cannot send you forms for your student visa until complete financial certification has been obtained.
