We would love to meet you! Your visit is a chance to explore the campus and city and meet staff, students, and faculty who can tell you more about Seattle University. You are welcome here whether you are stopping by or staying awhile; visiting with a group or on your own. We do our best to make you feel welcome!
Stopping by: Campus Tours and Information Sessions
On a campus tour, our student guides will spend an hour sharing what it's like to live and learn in our distinct urban setting. You'll see classroom spaces, a residence hall room, our award-winning Chapel of St. Ignatius, the new Lemieux Library and McGoldrick Learning Commons, our Student Center, and dining facilities.
During the school year we offer campus tours Monday through Friday at 10:00 a.m., noon and 2:00 p.m. From October to June tours are also offered many Saturdays at 10:00 a.m. and noon.
Information sessions are available February through October during weekdays at 11:30 a.m. These information sessions are designed to give you a brief overview of the university and our admissions and scholarship process. You can request an information session when you schedule your campus tour online below.

Have more time? Class visits and faculty one-on-ones
If you have the time to stay awhile, you can live as a Redhawk for a day! In an extended visit, you’ll meet with faculty one-on-one, sit in on classes, take a guided tour, and meet with an admissions counselor. Our Redhawk Ambassador program puts you in touch with current SU students who personally coordinate the details of your visit and make your campus arrangements.

While there’s plenty to see and do on campus, take time to explore Seattle too. It’s easy to do: Seattle University is located in an urban neighborhood, a few blocks from downtown and some of the coolest neighborhoods in Seattle. Check out the great food in the International District, the scene on Broadway Avenue in Capitol Hill, and historic Pioneer Square, all an easy walk from Seattle University.
