Current Students

Students on the hilltop have a unique opportunity to start earning a graduate degree from St. Edward’s through our Accelerated Graduate Pathways program. Earn two degrees in five years, and save money on tuition! 

To qualify for an Accelerated Graduate Pathway, you must be enrolled in a St. Edward’s University undergraduate program that feeds into a specific graduate program. See the list of eligible programs and more information about Accelerated Graduate Pathways (AGP). 

Living on campus connects you more closely to your hilltop family and all campus resources, support services and activities. If you are not currently living on campus, contact Residence Life to learn more. 

It's not too soon to start planning for Fall 2026 campus housing selection. If you have any questions, please review our online housing sign-up process. Please note that if you are thinking about living off campus during your freshman or sophomore year, you need to complete the housing exemption request form in the housing portal.

Completing the FAFSA opens up the possibility for you to receive federal aid toward your education and potentially reducing your student debt! Submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) before the March 1, 2026, priority deadline. Questions about completing the FAFSA? Stop by Student Financial Services Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. (Main Building, Room 204), or schedule an appointment with your Financial Aid Counselor. 

All students are encouraged to take part in advanced experiential learning opportunities such as internships, research and volunteer work. This year, we've hosted exciting events like career treks, where students connect with top employers in Austin and explore potential career paths. There are countless ways to get involved—discover how you can get started!

If you are planning on graduating this May, Grad Fest will be held Thursday March 5 from 12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. in the Maloney Room located on the third floor of the Main Building. This is your one stop shop for all graduation needs including pictures, regalia, grad cords, registrar assistance and more.
