Accessing and Using SU Online, SU’s Advising & Information System

Seattle University’s web registration system, SU-Online, provides access to the information needed to successfully advise: all pertinent academic data on students as well as courses and schedule information.

Accessing SU-Online for the first time:

1. Take FERPA* Training (*Family Educational Right to Privacy Act) All employees accessing student records must take this training and renew it every 2 years to support our goal of working within the appropriate legal boundaries with regard to the handling and communication of student data. To take the training, go to FERPA Training
2. Log-on to SU-Online http://suonline.seattleu.edu
   
   • At the ‘User ID’ field: type in your e-mail address (without the ‘@seattleu.edu)
   • At the ‘Password’ field: type in your SU logon password

If you forgot your password, go to http://owa.seattleu.edu and follow the link for “forgot password” at the bottom of the screen.
