Redhawk Essentials: Complete Your Housing Application

Get ready to join the university community by living on campus. We think you’ll enjoy the community environment, the convenience, the amenities and, most of all, the opportunity to meet and learn from a diverse group of friends from all over the world. Click here to start your housing application. Submit yours by June 15th for highest priority.

Upload Your Immunization Record

College is the time for new and educational experiences, but don't let a vaccine-preventable disease be one of them. In addition to the measles immunity requirement, we recommend Seattle University students stay up-to-date with several other important immunizations. Submit your immunization records by July 31st by clicking here.

Review and Choose a Health Insurance Option

Full-time, domestic undergraduates and most international students are required to have health insurance. Seattle U offers access to a third-party student health insurance policy, but if you would prefer to continue on a current policy, you may do so. Review the policy information here and either do nothing to automatically enroll in the Seattle U policy or complete a waiver to register your choice to use another policy. Complete a waiver here and submit by October 1st.

Upload Your Seattle U ID Card Photo

Choose and upload your Seattle U ID card photo to have it ready for you in September. For those living on campus, please be sure to do this to make the move-in process easier. Check your Seattle U email after June 1 for a personalized invitation link to upload your photo. Submit your photo by July 31. Learn more here.

Complete the College Student Inventory (CSI) Survey

We want to support your smooth transition to SU. This survey will help you, and us, by giving strategies and information to help you be successful academically and personally. This will typically take about 20 minutes to complete. Students will receive a link via email to participate in the survey the week of July 27. The survey is due August 15.
