Lodging Accommodations | Campus Guests
Pacific University offers two different types of Lodging Accommodations for individuals affiliated with Pacific University looking to stay on our beautiful Forest Grove campus. If you are affiliated with Pacific University and require lodging, please review our Guest Apartment and Short-Term Guest Housing to see which best fits your needs and who qualifies for each space. If you are not affiliated with Pacific University or here for a scheduled conference and require lodging, below is a list of hotels near our campus.
Pacific University offers one short term use guest apartment on the Forest Grove Campus. The apartment is available to employees, alumni and trustees. The apartment may also be rented for university guests who will present or perform at the University. The guest apartment includes a full kitchen with basic dishware and essentials, a private bathroom and is furnished including one full size bed. Linens and towels are provided. The maximum occupancy is two guests (sharing full bed). Availability is on a first-come, first-serve basis. When the University is closed, such as during Winter Break, the apartment is not available.
The Guest Apartment has a maximum stay limit of three nights. Eligible guests requiring extended stays are encouraged to utilize Short-Term Guest Housing, details here. In the event that an extended stay is approved for the Guest Apartment, it shall not exceed 6 nights and a $200 enhanced cleaning fee will be charged in addition to the nightly rate.
If you have questions regarding the Guest Apartment or would like to make a reservation, please submit a ticket.
Rate: $95 per night
Check in time: after 3 p.m.
Check out time: by 10 a.m.
Emergency Housing
Emergency Housing is intended for Pacific University commuter students or employees that need a place to stay for 1-2 nights due to a serious and unexpected situation requiring immediate relocation while they coordinate another housing solution. If an eligible guest determines they need to stay longer than 1-2 nights, they may apply for Short-Term Guest Housing. For urgent needs, we aim to get guest(s) checked into their rooms within 24-hours of a ticket being submitted. However, we do not work on the weekends, so would need to be notified by a Pacific University Administrator outside of normal procedures.
If you are in need of Emergency Housing, please submit a ticket.
Short-Term Guest Housing (located on the Forest Grove campus)
Clark Hall was constructed in 1966 as a traditional Residence Hall for students. It is now used to accommodate affiliated guests in need of short-term housing that will be on the Forest Grove or Hillsboro Campus for University academic business and have a current Pacific employee sponsoring the request (i.e. visiting scholars, special student program requirement). Short-Term Guest Housing can be requested through our service portal under Student Affairs Operations. The housing options are traditional dorm-style rooms (single, double, and quad rooms) with a community bathroom on each floor. Short-Term Guest Housing has a minimum stay requirement of 3 nights and a maximum stay limit of 8 weeks (longer stays may be considered). Depending on your reservation request, it may be necessary for groups to have chaperons stay with guests at their expense. Please read through the Short-Term Guest Housing Agreement, prior to making a reservation. When the University is closed, such as during Winter Break, Short-Term Guest Housing is not available.
If you have questions regarding Short-Term Guest Housing or would like to make a reservation, please submit a ticket.
amenities: fans are available by advanced request (limited availability), cooling station on 3rd floor, access to microwave and refrigerator, free Wi-Fi.
Please note the following: Clark is an old building that has not been renovated since it was built in 1966, so it does have old pipes, no air-conditioning and issues that a newer building would not. It is important to know that if you are looking for a stay with more amenities then local hotels may be a better option. If you want to be on-campus and don't mind an old dormitory experience, this is a good inexpensive option.
Rates and Discounts (Short-Term Guest Housing Only)
Room Costs
The cost of Short-Term Guest Housing is $50.00 per person/per night.

The cost of Short-Term Guest Housing Meal Plan is $19.50 per person/per day, which covers Lunch and Dinner. If you are wanting Breakfast during your stay, you can pay cash or card at the coffee shop, the Market, or the Cafe. Meal Plan begins with Lunch the day after check-in and ends with dinner the day prior to check-out.
Due to the limited amenities, if your stay is 6 nights or more, you will be required to participate in the Short-Term Guest Housing Meal Plan. This Meal Plan will give you access to eat in the Forest Grove Pacific Cafe, which offers fresh and delicious all-you-care-to-eat meals. The only exception to this Meal Plan requirement is if your stay is less than 6 nights or if your stay is during the Summer months when there are no regular hours in the Cafe. During the Summer months, you will be given access to a kitchen to use. Note: mini-fridges & microwaves are available for use year-round.
Costs outside of the academic year follow different Meal Plan rates.
*Your Meal Plan begins the day after check-in and ends the night before check-out.

All of these options take cash or card as forms of payment. Guests who request to stay on campus longer than 1 week will be required to purchase a Short-Term Guest Housing Meal Plan, as we do not have sufficient cooking facility options available in Clark Hall. Guests who are here less than a week have the option to purchase a Short-Term Guest Housing Meal Plan as well. Rate is listed above.
Sponsor and/or Chaperone Resource (Short-Term Guest Housing only)
The purpose of a Sponsor and/or Chaperone is to ensure that guests staying in Short-Term Guest Housing have guidance and a point of contact, should they need assistance during their stay. Depending on the size of the group requesting to stay in Short-Term Guest Housing, a chaperone may be required. Please review the Sponsor / Chaperone Expectations for more information.
