First-Year Admissions Events

Welcome and Overview of SU

What Education Looks Like at Seattle University
You'll be greeted by our Admissions team, who will first provide you with an overview of the SU experience and opportunities.

Student Financial Services Presentation

Making the Seattle University Investment Affordable
Did you know most students at Seattle U come from families making less than $120,000 annually? Additionally, the average SU student borrows over $10,000 less than the national average, and 26% do not need to take out any loans.

Learn more about scholarships, the financial aid process, and affordability with a short presentation by one of our knowledgeable Financial Aid Counselors.

Student and Campus Partner Panel

Connect with our Current Students and Campus Partners
Join representatives from student life offices across campus, along with current Redhawks, for a panel about the student experience inside and outside the classroom. Ask your questions and get some answers!
