Welcome to Student Financial Services at Seattle University!

IN THESE DIFFICULT ECONOMIC TIMES ...

We appreciate how difficult the economic environment is for many of our students and their families and want to make sure you are aware that the university is committed to doing all that it can to help students who have been negatively impacted by the recession to the extent that they worry that they may not be able to complete their studies at Seattle U. If you are finding it difficult to cover your educational costs, click here for more information.


When you visit us, you can expect to meet a team of caring individuals whose goals are to:

  • Provide excellent, student-centered services,
  • Help students apply for and receive financial aid and
  • Help students pay for their educational expenses.

We strive for the efficient administration of student accounts and financial aid and to offer a flexible array of services to students pursuing their educational dreams.

Student Financial Services has four main service functions:

  1. Registration Information. We are the information and document intake site for the University's Registrar's Office as well as for Student Financial Services. You may pick up or drop off registration forms or request transcripts from the representatives at our front windows.
  2. Student Accounts. We are the University's student accounts office. We prepare and distribute bills for tuition and fees, room and board and insurance. We take payments, assess late charges, set up payment plans and distribute aid.
  3. Financial Aid. We are the University's financial aid office. Our counselors evaluate your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and determine your eligibility for federal, state and institutional need-based funds.
  4. Student Employment. We are the University's student employment office. At SU Online, we post jobs that are funded through the need-based work-study programs that are included in eligible students' financial aid awards as well as those that are funded by the employer and open to any interested student (not just those with work-study awards). You will contact us when you are hired by an on-campus employer to submit forms and documents required for employment and to get your payroll record set up.

We hope this web site provides answers to your questions about our services as well as your rights and responsibilities as a student at Seattle University. If you need more information or have suggestions for improving this web site or our services, please be sure to let us know.
