South University-Richmond

What does South University-Richmond offer in terms of athletics?

South University-Richmond is not presented as a traditional intercollegiate athletics campus. Applicants should not plan on an NCAA team, varsity recruiting route, or athletic scholarship at this location without confirmation of a specific program.

Informal recreation is a different question from varsity athletics. Students interested in sports or fitness should ask what activities, facilities, or student-organized opportunities are currently accessible to Richmond students rather than assuming that offerings at another South University location apply here.

What student groups and Associations are available at South University-Richmond?

Student involvement at South University-Richmond is best checked at the campus and program level. A university-wide list of groups would not establish that a particular organization is active in Glen Allen.

Students interested in a professional association, service activity, cultural group, or student leadership role can ask student affairs which groups are currently recognized, when they meet, and whether online or evening students can participate. For someone in a tightly scheduled program, meeting times and the ability to join remotely may be as important as the group's subject.

Who studies at South University-Richmond?

South University-Richmond enrolled 395 students in the reported institutional figures, making it a relatively small campus. The 2024-25 entering counts included 13 first-time degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates and 44 transfer-in students.

The reported student-to-faculty ratio was 11 to 1. That institutional ratio is not a promise about the size of a particular lecture, lab, or clinical group. Among students represented in the geographic-origin measure, Virginia residents accounted for the reported enrollment; applicants should not infer from that measure that every student in every program lives locally.

Peterson's 2026 ethnicity counts identify 119 Black or African American students, 58 White students, 15 Hispanic or Latino students, five Asian students, and eight students reporting two or more races. These counts are descriptive, may use a different reporting population or date from the overall enrollment figure, and do not by themselves describe individual students' experiences.

How does student life look like at South University-Richmond?

Student life at South University-Richmond is shaped by a small, nonresidential campus and the demands of students' individual programs. For many students, connections with classmates may develop through courses, labs, projects, and program activities rather than residence-hall life.

Before enrolling, it is worth asking how orientation works for your start date and delivery format, where students can study or meet between classes, and how to access academic advising and other support. The answers may differ for a student attending daytime campus classes, taking online courses, or completing an off-site clinical placement.

What libraries are available to students at South University-Richmond?

South University-Richmond does not report a separately counted campus library in the institutional figures. That should not be mistaken for a conclusion that students have no research resources: South University students may use the university's digital library services and academic materials.

For a particular program, ask how to access databases, online journals, research assistance, and required course materials from both campus and home. Students who need a quiet physical workspace should separately check what study areas are available at the Richmond location; access to electronic collections and the presence of a staffed, physical library are different things.
