Welcome to Seattle University
We are delighted that you will join us at Seattle University, the largest independent university in the Pacific Northwest. We are proud of our mission of educating the whole person, to professional formation and to empowering leaders for a just and humane world. We welcome you into this tradition. We know that you and your family have many questions as you prepare for your collegiate experience.
The New Student and Family Programs Office coordinates a number of programs to facilitate this transition. Seattle University provides a multi-phased orientation process and first year students are expected to attend both the summer and fall university-wide programs.
There are also a number of optional transition programs that we encourage you to attend. Our summer orientation program has a concurrent family track so that family members may get their questions answered as well.
Take time to review the information on this website. It will give you the details of what you need to do to begin your SU career.
