Find Your Admissions Application Deadlines 

You’ll stay ahead of the game and ensure your own peace of mind when you follow the deadlines and admissions timeline below. 

In general, you can apply to transfer to a Seattle University undergraduate program at any point in the academic calendar. However, if you’re applying to the Nursing and Diagnostic Ultrasound programs, you’ll need to apply by the particular deadline because those programs are in a cohort structure. 

International applicants do not have a separate application deadline. If you are an international transfer student, you are encouraged to apply earlier to ensure adequate time for immigration and visa processing.

What our students say

– Evan, Marketing Major

“As a transfer student, one of my biggest worries was about staying on track. The Albers Advising Center not only guided me, but also provided me with the opportunity to explore minors and extracurriculars. Their resources are the secret sauce that every student needs to succeed at Seattle University.”
