Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes this day and be sure to check the weather to see if you have to bring a raincoat or an umbrella as you will be outside during the Campus Tour. Students who do not attend orientation will have an ISC HOLD placed on their University account and you will be unable to travel outside the United States until you attend the Spring Orientation session.
In addition, all new transfer students are highly encouraged to attend all Office of Commuter and Transfer Student Life (CTSL) events taking place in the beginning of Winter quarter as that Office is also geared toward supporting all students that commute and transfer to SU.
More information about CTSL can be found at http://www.seattleu.edu/ctsl. Lunch is provided at the Orientation and the cost of attendance is $40.00 and you pay in cash at the International Student Center or by check (made out to the International Student Center).
Arrival On-Campus
As soon as you arrive on campus, please be sure to bring your passport, visa stamp, Seattle University I-20 form (or DS-2019), and 1-94 card to the International Student Center in the James C. Pigott Pavilion for Leadership (Room 160) so we can register you in SEVIS.
SEVIS is a database maintained by the U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement and the United States Department of Homeland Security mandates that you register with our office upon arrival.
If you fail to register you will have to pay a large fee and apply to be reinstated within SEVIS. For those students transferring into the University from another college please bring all other I-20 forms with you that were issued by other colleges when you visit the ISC.
If you have any questions, please call our office at (206) 296- 6260 or e-mail us at isc@seattleu.edu.
