    Return to Active Status

    A return to active status student is a student who has previously attended University of the Pacific and has been out at least one full year, (two consecutive semesters not including summer). If you have been out of school for only one semester, you are not a return to active status student and will have to contact the Office of the Registrar in order to enroll in classes.
