Submit your Confirmation Deposit

Submit your deposit to secure your place in your academic program, if required. The deposit will be applied toward your first quarter tuition costs.

  • Once you return the Candidate Reply form noting acceptance of the offer of admission, you will be notified if your program requires a confirmation deposit, including instructions about how to access the deposit form on your application status page. Please check with your department regarding the due date.

The advising, orientation and registration processes will vary based on your academic program.

New students should complete the following actions prior to registering for courses: 

  • Contact your department and/or advisor for advising and orientation details. Some programs have a required orientation and/or an initial advising appointment before you register.  
  • Once you receive an invitation from Canvas, our learning management system, you can access the online new student orientation.
  • Attend the New Graduate Student Welcome and program orientations. Additional information about these events will be sent directly to you. 

Register for courses through mySeattleU Student Planning any time after your assigned registration time.

  • After you confirm your acceptance, look for your registration appointment time in Student Planning. If registration for your first quarter has begun, up to two business days may be required for you to receive your registration time.
  • Some circumstances warrant a registration hold that is also accessible through Student Planning so you may act accordingly.

Get Carded

Watch for an email with photo guidelines and instructions on how to upload your campus I.D. photo. You can then pick up your card from Reprographic Services during operating hours if you are on campus. 

 

Finalize tuition payment arrangements. All eligible admitted students are encouraged to complete the FAFSA online application and search for external funding.

Purchase or rent course materials at Seattle U’s Campus Store online or in-person at 12th & Madison adjacent to the VI Hilbert Building.

Reference your admission letter for any provisional documents and arrange to have them sent to Seattle University Graduate Admissions within your first term of enrollment.

  • Registration for future quarters is contingent upon meeting the conditions of your admission.
  • Current Seattle University students should contact Graduate Admissions when final degree posted transcripts are ready.
