Come visit us

We would love to meet you! Your visit is a chance to explore the campus and city and meet staff, students, and faculty who can tell you more about Seattle University. You are welcome here whether you are stopping by or staying awhile; visiting with a group or on your own. We do our best to make you feel welcome—and Caffé Vita coffee is on us! Here are some ways to make the most of the time you have here.

Stopping by

If time is short, you can take advantage of our standard visit. We offer campus tours daily, Monday through Friday at 10:00 a.m., noon and 2:00 p.m. Tours are also offered many Saturdays at 10:00 a.m. and noon, from October to June. We also encourage you to meet with an admissions counselor or attend a small group presentation so that we can answer more of your questions. Give us a call; we’re happy to set up an appointment for you!

Please contact Undergraduate Admissions at 206-296-2000 (800-426-7123) or stu2@seattleu.edu to learn more about one of these opportunities.

Have more time?

If you have the time to stay awhile, you can live as a Redhawk for a day! In an extended visit, you’ll meet with faculty one-on-one, sit in on classes, take a guided tour, and meet with an admissions counselor. You’ll learn about Seattle University from the people who know what it’s like—current students. Our Student-to-Student program puts you in touch with current SU students who personally coordinate the details of your visit, make your campus arrangements, and show you around.

To schedule an extended visit, please complete the online form. Correspondence regarding your visit will be sent via email so please check your email account regularly.

Visiting with a group

Group visits are designed for high-school age groups ranging from 5 to 40 students. We welcome group visits on Wednesdays, Thursdays, or Friday at 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. 

To request a group visit, please complete the online form. Please allow two weeks’ notice for us to properly accommodate your request. We will also need a roster of the students, with the following information: 
First and Last Name
Mailing Address
Email Address
High School
Date of Birth
Year of High School Graduation

Please note:  From September through mid-November much of the admissions staff will be traveling to meet with students in their home regions.  Accordingly, we are unable to accommodate group tours during that time.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Victor Zamora via email or at 206-296-5807.

Nearby points of interest

While there’s plenty to see and do on campus, take time to explore Seattle too. It’s easy to do: Seattle University is located in an urban neighborhood, a few blocks from downtown and some of the coolest neighborhoods in Seattle. Check out the great food in the International District, the scene on Broadway Avenue in Capitol Hill, and historic Pioneer Square, all an easy walk from Seattle University. Use the interactive map below for ideas of places to stay, places to eat, and places to get some of our world famous Seattle coffee.
