Student Life

Home » Student Life

In our life together at PSR, we rely on God’s presence among us as we build a community.

In our life together at PSR, we rely on God’s presence among us as we build a community that values diversity, mutual respect, and listening and learning from one another. The importance of these values transcends PSR: when we work to create community with others different from ourselves, we acquire important skills for leadership in churches and other faith communities.

At PSR, you’re sure to be with others different from yourself. We welcome students who have diverse theological views and cultural backgrounds, international students, new college graduates as well as second-career professionals, LGBTQ+ students, families with children, and people with disabilities. We actively emphasize anti-racist work in our academic and community life, nuancing it with a deep understanding of intersectional and interlocking oppressions. We do not tolerate racist, sexist, homophobic, or xenophobic speech, acts, or beliefs on our campus.

Office of Community Life

This office aids and mentors students through the process of their educational journey, including the major milestones of their degree programs. We also oversee pastoral services for PSR students and assist faculty and student organizations in developing a shared vision and practice of student formation. We can provide immediate pastoral care for the PSR community in emergency situations when the Pastoral Care Team and the Campus Care Network are not available.

Health & Wellness

Health Insurance

Having health insurance is a legal requirement and Pacific School of Religion encourages all students to maintain coverage. If you need health insurance, you may compare plans at Covered California.

Circles of Care

As framed by Ignatian spirituality, our lives are filled with moments of consolation (moments of joy, moments when we feel love, or feel closest to God), and moments of desolation (our “desert moments” when we feel farthest from God, moments when we are lonely, or angry, or feel the least amount of love). As we move in and out of our highs and lows, we at the Office of Community Life want to make sure that you are not alone in your journey.

Accessibility

Pacific School of Religion is committed to providing an accessible academic community. The Accessibility Services Office within the Office of Community Life at PSR offers a variety of accommodations and services to students with documented disabilities, permanent and temporary injuries, and chronic conditions. If you are a student with a disability, we engage you in an interactive process to provide you an equal opportunity to participate in, contribute to, and benefit from our academic programs.

Housing

Pacific School of Religion is committed to partnering with students in making theological education accessible. To this end, resources from PSR’s endowment, annual fundraising, and ancillary income are used to support the education of students in PSR’s various programs. Through the use of these resources, PSR is able to offer its education at tuition levels that are well below the actual cost of the delivering the education.

Worship

Worship Life at PSR nourishes the spiritual and theological roots of students, faculty, staff and community members with embodied spiritual practices.  Through a variety of worship opportunities that reflects the many diversities of our community, we strive to be both creative and innovative laboratories that foster encounters with the Holy in new and renewed ways, and manifestations of the sometimes broken yet still Beloved Community.
