Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Do I have to pay to attend Board events?
A. Most Board events have no additional cost, because they are funded by a portion of the Campus Life Fee. Every Seaver Undergraduate student pays this fee each semester. Unless otherwise noted, all you need is your student ID and Peppervine QR code* to join the fun!
Moral of the story: you’ve already paid so get involved! Whether that’s by coming to Board events, joining student organizations, working with SGA to better the campus, or enjoying health and wellness programming put on by SWAB.
*Peppervine is new and improved! Not sure if you have your Peppervine QR code? Download the CampusGroups app to your phone and search “Pepperdine University.” From there you’ll log in by entering your Wavenet credentials. Once you’ve made your profile, you can click on “More” and your personal QR code will be at the top right. PS - if you’re having trouble with accessing the app, try going on vine.pepperdine.edu on your desktop browser to create your profile there.
