Family Orientation
Parents & Guardians are encouraged to attend Orientation with their student. Orientation introduces family members to the values, goals and practices of University of the Pacific. You’ll meet and interact with administrators, faculty, staff and student leaders. Although the student and family programs are held on the same dates, many of the sessions are conducted separately.
Family members may register in two ways:
1) By mailing the Family Orientation Registration Form with their payment to the Office of New Student and Family Programs
a. If your student is attending Freshman Orientation you will use 
Freshman Student Family Registration Form.
b. If your student is attending Transfer Orientation you will use Transfer Student Family Registration Form.
2) Have your student log onto InsidePacific and follow the instructions through the “I Choose Pacific” tab at the top of the page.
On-campus housing is only available for family members attending the June sessions of Freshman Orientation, on a limited basis. Family members will be housed in University residential communities during the June sessions only.
For resources and information for parents, visit Places to Stay.
If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact the New Student and Family Programs at (209)946-7619 or email us at orientation@pacific.edu. Students and staff are available to answer your questions or refer you to the proper office to meet your needs.
