Read below to learn about our Early Bird Immersion opportunities.
What are Early Bird Immersions? Early Bird Immersions are optional early arrival programs that offer new students the opportunity to come to campus a few days before Fall Welcome and connect with other new students who share your passions and interests. Each experience focuses on a different theme, such as outdoor adventure, community service, identity exploration, and academic success.
Why should I sign up for an Early Bird Immersion? Participating in an early arrival program is an opportunity to make new friends with similar interests, move into your residence hall early (if living on-campus), and get settled into life at Seattle University a few days before the start of Fall Welcome.
Is there a cost for Early Bird Immersions? Some programs have a moderate fee and others have no cost. Programs with fees have partial and full scholarship opportunities for those who request financial assistance. If you are not requesting a scholarship, payment is due at the time of sign-up to confirm your spot.
How do scholarships work? We recognize a partial or full scholarship will make this opportunity a reality for some students based on their financial status. If you would like to request a partial (half cost) or full scholarship (full cost), follow the instructions on your sign-up form. We will update you about your scholarship request by Tuesday, August 13.
How do I sign up for an Early Bird Immersion? Starting July 1, you will be able to sign up for an Early Bird Immersion in your Orientation Portal.
How will my move-in be different? Students living in on-campus residence halls will be approved to move in early for their Immersion program. Your move-in date and time will depend on which Immersion you sign up for. Early move-in dates and times will be noted on the sign-up form for each Immersion. After your attendance is confirmed, detailed move-in instructions will be emailed to your Seattle University email from Housing and Residence Life. Students attending an Immersion Program will not need to sign up for a move-in appointment on the Housing Portal. There is no additional cost for early move-in.
Students can only participate in one Early Bird Immersion. The deadline to sign up for Early Bird Immersions is Friday, August 9, 2024. Spots will be limited and may fill up before the deadline.
