Resources and Support for Your Student

SPU tradition is founded on nearly a century and a quarter of taking care of our students in every way possible:

• Orientation where we welcome our new students.
• Center for Learning provides our students with resources and support they need.
• With our Mission and Vision driving us, we prepare our students for personal growth. 
• Our Emergency and Crisis Management Plan is a comprehensive plan to keep students, faculty, and staff safe in the event of an emergency. 
• SPU Safety and Security is available 24/7 for the entire campus community, including students.
• Center for Career and Calling prepares our students to enter the workplace.
• In addition to having NCAA Division II teams, intramurals are available to all students throughout the Academic year. 
• Study Abroad allows your student to have life-changing experiences.

The Parent Guidebook (PDF) from this last year’s Orientation provides an invaluable overview of all the services and resources available to students and parents; important dates to remember; and more.

Visiting Campus

A visit to campus is always worth the trip. Whether your student attends a scheduled visit event or arranges an individual visit, we invite you and your student to campus to get a sense of what we’re all about at SPU. To make the visit even more worthwhile, now we offer a Visit Scholarship ($500 for in-state students and $1,000 for out-of-state students) if your student attends an on-campus Admissions-sponsored event between now and May 1, 2018, then enrolls full-time for Autumn Quarter 2018.
