Saint Martin's University

What does Saint Martin's University offer in terms of athletics?

Saint Martin's Saints varsity teams compete in NCAA Division II and the Great Northwest Athletic Conference. Students interested in intercollegiate competition can look into sports including basketball, soccer, cross-country, track and field, baseball, softball, and volleyball.

Varsity participation differs from a recreational activity or student-run sports club: varsity teams have competitive schedules and roster decisions. Students who want to play should check the current athletics roster and recruiting information for their sport, while those seeking casual participation can look for current recreation or club offerings. Neither admission to the university nor prior participation in a sport guarantees a varsity place or athletic aid.

What student groups and Associations are available at Saint Martin's University?

Students can participate in campus organizations spanning academic interests, service, arts, cultural life, and student representation. Student government offers a route into campus decision-making, while performing-arts opportunities include theater and choral groups.

Saint Martin's also reports a student-run campus newspaper. Because club leadership and activity can change from year to year, applicants with a particular interest should consult the current student-organization directory rather than assume that every previously listed group is active or accepting members.

Who studies at Saint Martin's University?

Saint Martin's reported total enrollment of 1,390 students. Its entering population includes both first-time students and transfers: the reported counts were 245 first-time degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates and 187 transfer-in students.

The student body is strongly regional. In the reported geographic breakdown, 85% of students were Washington residents, 13% came from other U.S. states, and 2% came from other countries. Students in their late teens and early twenties make up a substantial share of enrollment, but the age counts also include students in their thirties, forties, and older. These figures describe enrollment, not the interests or experiences of any individual student.

How does student life look like at Saint Martin's University?

Student life at Saint Martin's combines a residential campus with a sizable commuting population. Reported figures indicate that 39% of students live on campus and 61% commute, so participation in an evening activity may involve different practical considerations for different students.

Students can connect through campus programming, service, worship associated with the university's Benedictine identity, arts, and recreation. Reported support services include a health clinic and personal or psychological counseling. New students weighing campus life should consider not only which activities exist but also whether their class, work, and travel schedules leave time to use them.

What libraries are available to students at Saint Martin's University?

O'Grady Library is Saint Martin's main campus library. It provides a place for research and study, with reservable study rooms reported among its student resources.

Students working on assignments should look to the library for help locating academic sources and using its research materials, including electronic resources available under university access rules. Reported information does not describe the library as a 24-hour study facility, so students who expect late-night access should check current building and online-service hours.
