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.
