Student Referrals

Pacific's Student Referral System serves as a "hub" or central point for members of the University community to refer students in need of guidance and support. Upon referral, a Student Success Coach reaches out to the student to help them identify and access services needed in order to obtain their academic goals. For students seeking ongoing support, a Student Success Coach can provide coaching to help students create and monitor their personalized plan for success at Pacific. For more information, please see our FAQ's worksheet.
