Good news
The Office of Undergraduate Admissions is excited to eventually reopen our campus to visitors and future Falcons. We have missed you, and we can’t wait to see you!
We are planning to reopen for limited, appointment-only, in-person visits once the city of Seattle and King County deems it safe to do so. Visits will look a little different, but the health and safety of our visitors, staff, and students has been, and will continue to be, our highest priority.
Here are some of the ways we are planning to make your visit experience safe:
-
Persons who are sick will not be allowed to come to campus.
- Staff, students, and guests are required to complete self-attestation health forms prior to coming to campus.
- All staff, students, and guests are required to wear a face mask at all times during campus visits, while indoors and outdoors, unless a medical exception applies.
- Your visit will consist of a one-hour joint walking tour and a personal appointment with an admissions counselor. All visits will be conducted outdoors with limited access inside buildings.
- Contactless check-in will be conducted over the phone upon arrival to campus. Admissions hosts will meet guests at their vehicle once guests have completed remote check-in. Visits will be limited to one student and their guests per appointment time slot. Students are limited to no more than three accompanying guests in order to keep appointment group sizes small.
- During visits, admissions hosts will maintain six feet of distance from guests wherever possible.
- Campus visits will be by appointment only, in order to prevent large groups from congregating in the admissions lobby area.
- All SPU staff, students, and campus visitors are required to maintain good hygiene and are encouraged to wash/sanitize hands frequently.
Stay connected with us by reviewing our website and regular communications for updates. We can’t wait to see you soon!
