Student services
The Division of Student Affairs supports the educational mission of the university and encourages the development of students as citizen leaders in a global society. We are educational partners with faculty, staff, and students. Together, we provide a seamless web of services, while role modeling integrity, collaboration, respect for human diversity, fairness, and social responsibility.
Housing services
The University of Puget Sound is committed to provide all, otherwise qualified, students equal access to programs and activities by having nondiscriminatory standards in all academic areas, and by providing reasonable accommodations on a case-by-case basis.
Library services
The entire library staff is dedicated to providing you with the information resources and services you need when and where you need them.
Our primary Mission is to support the teaching, research and scholarly activities of the University of Puget Sound's faculty, students, and staff. Some services are restricted to those who are employed or enrolled at this institution.ICT services
The university provides a variety of computer labs, including four general access labs (two of which are available 24/7), a high-end digital media lab with editing equipment for audio and video, residence hall labs, and several discipline-specific labs.
Campus life
Much like the student body, consisting of individuals from 47 states and 12 countries, Puget Sound’s 97-acre campus offers a diverse set of experiences. Centuries old sequoia trees tower over Collins Library, providing an area of natural reflection, while students bask in the beauty of Mount Rainier, lounge on the grass, read, study, and play Frisbee in the openness of Todd Field located at the heart of campus.
Sports facilities
University of Puget Sound recreation facilities (Memorial Fieldhouse, Tennis Pavilion, Fitness Center, Warner Gym, and Wallace Pool) are open during published hours to university faculty, staff, students, and immediate family members or equivalents.
Student clubs
A meaningful path. Worthy challenges. Making a difference in the world and in the lives of others. Student organizations are an integral part of the Puget Sound experience.
Accreditation
The University of Puget Sound is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU), an independent, non-profit membership organization recognized by the United States Department of Education.
