University of the PACIFIC. Paying Your Bill. Students have the ability to make payments on their student account online, through the mail, or in person in our office. All payments must be in U.S. currency. Go to Understanding Your Bill for more information on Pacific's billing process.
Hydrate yourself. To prepare your body for the loss of blood, you need to drink plenty of water or fruit juice the night and morning before you donate. The leading cause of faintness and dizziness when you give blood is a drop in blood pressure or blood sugar.
Giving whole blood requires a waiting period of 56 days between donations; however, all we ask is for individuals to Commit for Life and donate once every quarter. If you donate plasma (your red cells are returned to you), you may donate every 28 days.
