We're in This Together

Seton Hill has been educating students since 1885 (and we’ve been a college since 1918). That’s more than 100 years of working and learning and serving and celebrating with students and families. We look forward to helping you discover if Seton Hill is a good fit for you.

Getting Started

Prospective students and families can get in touch with us by:

• Giving us a call at (724) 838-4281 or (800) 826-6234

• Sending an email to admit@setonhill.edu.
• Completing our quick online Request for Information form.

Once we know a little bit about the prospective student, they will be assigned an Admission Counselor. The Admission Counselor is a resource for the entire family, and will help guide you through the process of: 

• Finding out about Seton Hill.

• Applying.

• Obtaining financial aid.

• Choosing a room and/or a meal plan.

• Getting enrolled in first semester classes. 


Your counselor will also help you get in touch with staff experts and faculty members who can answer your questions, such as:

• Professors in specific majors.

• Current students. 

• Financial aid counselors. 

• Student housing professionals.

• Dining services.

• Campus safety or wellness representatives.

• Student Life directors.

Student-athletes will also be assisted by a coach or assistant coach in addition to an Admission Counselor.

Come Visit! 

The best way to tell if a school is a good fit is to visit. We can set up a campus visit and tour for you any time. Just ask your Admission Counselor to get you set up, or go to setonhill.edu/visit and register for a visit opportunity that works with your schedule. If you can't make it to campus for a visit, we'd be happy to meet with you online. 

Apply to Seton Hill for Free

Applying to Seton Hill is easy and free. You can apply with no obligation to you. So it’s best to apply early. This will help with financial aid and getting into competitive programs. You can apply at setonhill.edu/apply.

It’s OK if SAT or ACT Test Scores Aren’t Available

If a prospective student has been unable to take the ACT or SAT, or is experiencing delays in obtaining scores, it’s OK to apply without them. Find out more about test-optional applications here.

Applying for Aid

Seton Hill's Financial Aid Office uses the information from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to start creating a financial aid package as soon as a new student is accepted. So when you complete the FAFSA, remember to include Seton Hill as college that should receive your information. (If you need it, our school code is 003362.) The FAFSA can be completed online, and you don’t have to do it all at once.  

Seton Hill provides around $34 million in aid every year. Almost every Seton Hill student is eligible for some form of aid, so complete the FAFSA as soon as you can. Your Admission Counselor will help you work with the Financial Aid Office to get the best package possible. Take a look at all the different types of aid available to you at Seton Hill on the Financial Aid page of our site.
