How To Apply

On-Campus Housing

Applying for On-Campus Housing

New Undergraduate Students
All newly admitted and re-admitted freshman and sophomore undergraduate students will automatically receive an application for on-campus housing from the Admissions Office. If you have definitely decided that you will be a Pacific student, and we certainly hope you do, you should mail the completed application back to the Pacific Admissions office as soon as possible. If you are applying to live in an on-campus residence, you will also need to send a $200 enrollment deposit to the Admissions Office. If you are applying to live in the Vandervelden Court Complex, Burlingham Hall and Gilbert Hall, you will need to submit a separate non-refundable $100 application fee with your housing application. Please make the check payable to Pacific University.

New Professional Students
New professional students that have not earned a Bachelor's degree may apply for space in the Vandervelden Court Complex space permitting. Please request a housing application from the Housing Office. This application and a $100 non-refundable application fee must be returned together to be considered for space in this complex. Please make the check payable to Pacific University. Undergraduate students (returning and new) are given priority to space in on campus residence. If any additional spaces are available after those assignments are completed, professional students may apply for these spaces by contacting the Housing Office at (503) 359-2200 or email housing@pacificu.edu.

Current Undergraduate/Professional Students Without a Bachelor's Degree
Each spring (April) a housing lottery is held to give students an opportunity to either retain their current on-campus space or select new space and their roommate(s) for the next academic year if they choose to remain in on-campus University Housing. Any returning student who is eligible to live off-campus and who chooses not to select on-campus housing during the housing lottery and then seeks it, will not be given confirmation of availability until August.
