In light of announcements made by Gov. Brown regarding the surge in cases of the Omicron variant of COVID-19, and in response to the sharp increase in COVID-19 hospitalizations, Pacific now requires that people wear masks in both common indoor spaces and in outdoor settings in which individuals from different households are unable to consistently maintain physical distance.
The university is working to apply evolving guidance from the Governor and Oregon Health Authorities while striving to create as normal a college experience as possible. Please note that we are currently not accepting drop-in campus visits but require at least 48 hours' notice.
To stay current on Pacific’s requirements related to COVID-19, please visit pacificu.edu/coronavirus.

Daily Campus Visit
High School Seniors: Families of current high school seniors are strongly encouraged to visit campus during a Senior Preview Scholarship Day (SPSD) if possible. Pacific's Senior Preview Scholarship Days provide high school seniors and their guests an opportunity to interact with the Pacific University campus and community. Throughout the day you will hear from a Pacific University Oregon Admissions Counselor, meet with outstanding faculty, interact with current students and tour our beautiful campus. Attendees will earn an annual $1,000 tuition scholarship at Pacific University Oregon (total of $4,000 over 4 years) by attending a session and participating. Students must apply and be admitted in order to receive the scholarship. This is open for high school seniors who are applying to Pacific as a first year student. Learn More!
Daily Campus Tour: For families who would like to visit on a non-event day, register below to meet with a Pacific University Oregon Admissions Counselor to learn about the amazing opportunities Pacific has to offer. You'll also take a guided tour of our wonderful campus located in Forest Grove, OR, just 25 miles west of downtown Portland, OR. Daily campus visits are held Monday through Friday. Please plan to spend at least an hour and half to two hours on campus as each tour visit is followed by a meeting with a Pacific University Oregon Admissions Counselor. Weekends are open for tours only.
