The Student Affairs Front Desk is located just inside the main entrance of Clark Hall on the Forest Grove Campus. We provide information for visitors, as well as a variety of services for students, faculty, and staff.

The Front Desk is open Monday through Friday from 9:00am - 5:00pm unless otherwise posted. Feel free to stop by or contact us during our office hours with any questions.

Forest Grove Parking Permits

ATTENTION: 2024 - 2025 Parking permits and renewals are now available! Please note, by September 1st, 2024, all students, staff and faculty must have a valid, purple, 24-25 sticker on their parking permits in order to park on campus. 

Students, staff and faculty must register their vehicles to obtain a parking permit. Starting in July 2023, Forest Grove parking permit terms are transitioning from the calendar year (January to December) to the academic year (July to June). Permits must be renewed each academic year. The Student Affairs Front Desk manages Forest Grove parking permit applications.

Forest Grove Parking Permit Fees

Parking permit fees are charged to students’ university accounts. Costs for student parking permits are as follows:

• $100 for a parking permit, permit renewal, or replacement parking permit

Complete the Forest Grove Parking Registration Form to request a new parking permit, replace a lost parking permit, renew an active parking permit, or just update your information (e.g. purchased a new car, permanent license plates arrived, moved to a new address, etc.)

The Clark Hall front desk is no longer holding new undergratuate student permits. They will now be sent to Mail Room, located in the University Center.

Bon Appetit staff will also need to pick up their parking permits at the Clark Hall front desk.  

All other permits will be mailed to UC Boxes as follows:

• Undergraduate students: personal UC Box
• Graduate students: program UC Box
• Staff and faculty: department UC Box

Please allow time for processing.

Students are only allowed to have one active parking permit at a time. Faculty and staff may have up to two active parking permits. 

Temporary Parking Passes for Guests

Pacific University students, faculty, or staff members hosting guests for short-term visits or events can submit the Temporary Parking Pass Request Form.

• Requests are reviewed and approved on a case-by-case basis.

Residence Hall Poster Policy

University Departments and registered student organizations in good standing are permitted to submit posters/flyers for display in the residence halls, provided that they receive approval from Residence Life or Student Affairs staff and abide by the Poster Policy in the Residence Hall Handbook. Posters will only be hung by hall staff, and only in approved areas; individuals outside of Residence Life, Hall Government and RHA may not post any items in or on the exterior of the buildings.

To be approved, a poster must contain the following required elements:
