Seattle Pacific University

This fall, Seattle Pacific lowered tuition by 25% in an effort to make a nationally ranked, private education more accessible to students. We are proud of our Tuition Reimagined commitment.

Here are more recent happenings at SPU:

November 1 Early Action deadline: November 1 is our Early Action deadline for Fall 2022. All students who submit their application by this date will receive an early, non-binding admission decision, priority consideration for select SPU scholarships and grants, access to direct admissions to our majors (including Nursing and Business), AND an application fee waiver. Instructions for the fee waiver can be found our admissions page.

In-State Matching Scholar Commitment: This new award is SPU's commitment to give high-achieving students a private education at a public school cost. Eligible students have their SPU tuition and fees matched to their state's flagship university.
 

Test optional: We renewed our Test Optional Admissions Policy, so students applying for the 2022 academic year can apply, be admitted, and qualify for merit scholarships without providing SAT or ACT scores.

In-person AND virtual visit events: We have added many new visit opportunities to help students experience Seattle Pacific, no matter where they are. Students can earn up to $1,500 in visit scholarships just by attending! Check out our full list of offerings.
 

360 Tour:  Our new state-of-the-art virtual tour is now live! Virtually walk through the Seattle Pacific campus, enter a classroom, visit the library and dining hall, and soar over the Seattle waterfront. Soon, we will be updating the tour with campus housing information.

SPU Videos:  You can now find all our videos on academics, financial aid, student life, campus tours, student stories, and more! Use the dropdown at the top of the page to search for a specific topic.

We also have Information Sessions specifically for admitted students to go over the next steps in the enrollment process, such as registering for classes, orientation, applying for housing, and understanding their financial aid.

You can find details for these and all our events on our Visits page.
