Who should attend Fall Preview Day?

Prospective first-year and transfer students interested in starting any of SU's undergraduate degree programs by 2027 are especially encouraged to attend.

Do family members and supporters typically attend?

Absolutely—we can't wait to welcome you all to campus!

Do I need to sign up in advance?

Yes, please RSVP here and indicate how many guests you'll have with you.

I can't attend the Fall Preview. How can I learn more about Seattle U?

There are a number of ways to learn more about Seattle University! Attend a Virtual Information Session, contact your assigned Admissions Counselor or take our Virtual Tour. 

Is the event "open house" style, or is there a specific start time? Do I have to attend the entire day?

We will welcome the group with a program in Campion Ballroom to start the day, then you can choose the sessions and activities that fit your interests and schedule. While you're welcome to skip any parts of the event, we encourage guests to stay the entire day for a comprehensive experience.

Will you be offering tours of the residence halls?

Yes! While we aren't able to tour every available living situation, Housing and Residence Life will be offering more in-depth residence hall tours, separate from our typical campus tour.

Will I get to speak with faculty in my program?

Yes! Each college will offer an overview, with the chance to speak individually with faculty at our majors fair.

What if I have accessibility needs?

We are committed to accessibility and would be happy to discuss any accommodations needed. Please indicate your needs on your RSVP, and you may also contact visit@seattleu.edu for more information.

What should I wear?

The day involves walking around campus, so comfortable shoes are highly encouraged. Fall weather in Seattle can be incredibly pleasant...or not. We recommend checking the forecast, dressing in layers, and bringing a jacket with a hood!
