REFUNDABLE RESIDENTIAL/NON-RESIDENTIAL FEE POLICY 

To be eligible for a full refund, written notification must be submitted to the Housing Department at least five (5) days prior to the beginning of on-site instruction.

If a student attends any portion of the quarterly on-site session and then withdraws, takes a Leave of Absence, or drops courses from Pacifica, a Residential/Non-Residential refund will only apply to subsequent sessions in that quarter and not the session during which the student withdraws, takes a Leave of Absence, or drops courses. If the school cancels or discontinues an on-site course, students will receive a prorated refund of the fee.
