Campus Housing

Undergraduates. SPU provides housing for approximately 1,600 undergraduate students in residence halls, apartments, and houses. The residence halls vary in size from approximately 120 to 420 residents. Ashton, Hill, and Moyer are traditional residence halls, consisting of two- and three-person rooms and common bathroom facilities. Emerson Hall features suite-style rooms; the typical configuration is a double room on either side of a connecting bathroom. All rooms are furnished with single beds, mattresses, dressers, desks, chairs, cable television service, and Internet access. Residence halls are closed during Christmas and Spring Breaks.

Campus houses and apartments offer a typical setting of kitchen, living room, bathroom, and bedroom(s) and accommodate two or more residents, depending on the size.  The Wesley at Seattle Pacific offers another option for apartment living at SPU.  Each unit is fully furnished and comes with a washer/dryer, SPU telephone service, Internet, cable TV, and utilities. Returning and transfer students are given priority for these units.

Students must be admitted to the University before applying for housing. First-time freshmen and transfer students are prioritized separately by the date their admissions applications are received — the earlier your date, the higher your priority. First-time freshmen have priority for the residence halls. Transfers have priority for Robbins and the campus apartments. Beginning in early April, all admitted undergraduates will receive a Campus Living booklet with instructions on how to apply for housing. If a student is admitted after April 1, the packet will be mailed within two weeks of the student’s admission date. For more information, call Housing and Meal Plan Services at 206-281-2188.  For information on applying for the Wesley, call 206-378-5302.

Families and Graduates. SPU also has housing options available for students with families, graduate students, and adult learners (students 25 years of age and older). Family, Graduate, and Adult Learner Housing consists of houses, apartments, and duplexes, located on campus or within walking distance. Units range from one to three bedrooms. Water, sewer, garbage, and basic cable are included in the rent. Each tenant is responsible for electricity, gas, and phone. Students who would like to apply for Family, Graduate, and Adult Learner Housing must be admitted to the University. Only the student, his or her spouse and/ or legal dependents may occupy campus housing. For more information, call Housing and Meal Plan Services at 206-281-2188 or visit www.spu.edu/FamilyGradApp.
