Okay, so I'm an international Student here in the US. and My passport is being renewed right now. And I have to fly to Seattle in a week. So I was wondering if my university ID will suffice for a Photo ID at the airport?

EDIT: Or is an expired passport, but with a Valid US visa, acceptable?

The answer is: No.

University IDs are not a valid identification for travel according to TSA. If you are a student you should be eligible to get a SSN and a drivers license. That would be an acceptable ID.

Answer 2

Yes, I have used a school ID before. It helps if you have a debit/credit card to have along as well in the same name. I have also used a credit/debit card before too. They may take longer and ask more questions but it works.
