Pacific College Student Services

Library
The goal of the Pacific College library is to serve as a resource center to students and faculty, providing them with access to materials that will enhance their research and clinical experience in the field of Oriental medicine. The San Diego campus library has recently quadrupled in size to 2,700 square feet of space which includes the collection of books and periodicals, study and computer space, and offices for staff. The on-site medical librarian is highly qualified to assist doctoral students and to lead the college’s ongoing efforts to create a valued library for the Oriental medical community. Students in the DAOM will be required to purchase a UCSD School of Medicine library card or demonstrate equivalent access to medical library resources.

Academic Counseling
Students often need assistance in planning their curriculum. Personnel from the office of the Academic Dean or the Registrar are available for personal counseling in this matter. In cases where a student is not making satisfactory progress in a course, or in the program as a whole, counseling is usually required with the Academic Dean or other designated personnel.

Career Planning
Counseling with the President, COO, Registrar, or Academic Dean is encouraged whenever the student feels the need during the program.

Study Groups
The college encourages the formation of study groups for learning purposes. Study groups are normally formed among students enrolled in any given course. Please contact the instructor of any course in which you feel the need for group study.

Housing
The college has no dormitory facilities or other housing options on campus or under its control and assumes no responsibility for finding housing for students. However, a wide range of housing is available near the Pacific facilities. An Admissions Counselor can be of assistance by providing information about neighborhoods, pricing, or rent location resources.

Financial Aid Counseling
Federal financial aid is not available at this time to students in the DAOM program. Information and counseling for non-federal financial assistance are available from the Pacific College Financial Aid Office.

Student Records
Pacific College, following the Federal Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 and California Education Code, has set requirements to protect the privacy of students concerning their records. The student’s Social Security Number is used to maintain student records, as well as for purposes of determining eligibility and disbursement of financial aid funds and the repayment of financial aid and other debts payable to the institution. The Registrar maintains records of each student enrolled at Pacific College. A student’s record contains an application file, personal information necessary for the business of the college, credit history, transfer credit granted registration history with grade reports and comments, and records of any official action by the college concerning that student. The Administrative Offices and the Financial Aid Office may also maintain files as required for their respective functions. Documents in an applicant or student file become the property of Pacific and may not be issued nor returned to applicants or students. No part of a student’s file will be released to any person outside the college, its regulatory agencies, and licensing examination agencies without the written consent of the student/ graduate or unless mandated by court order or lawful subpoena. The college will make available immediately, for copying or inspection by the BPPVE or Attorney General at its principal place of business for no less than five years, all documents required by Section 94829 of the California Education code. Student-Graduate Directory information may be made public and may include student name, address, email address, telephone number, and the program in which the student was enrolled or from which he or she graduated. It is the student’s responsibility to notify the Registrar’s office in writing if they do not wish all or part of this information released. Students or graduates may request a review of their transcript, enrollment agreement, registration forms, and/or attendance records by contacting the Registrar for an appointment. Such a review will be allowed during normal business hours under appropriate supervision.
