Undergraduate student onboarding

First-year in-person students

First-year students are admitted out of high school (any college credits earned were earned while still enrolled in high school). For first-year students based on campus, your next steps start with the First Year Experience modules and signing up to attend an Academic Orientation. Follow your priority tasks on your My ASU page.

ASU Online students and in-person Transfer students 

Transfer students studying at one of our campuses and locations are admitted after completing high school and then attending a college or university, earning at least 12 credits before applying to ASU. ASU Online students earn their degree fully online.

Online and Transfer students should:

• Get ready to register for classes by attending one of our workshop options (workshop completion is required before making a one-on-one appointment with your academic advisor):
  • Are you an Online student or unable to attend in person? Please sign up for a remote, Zoom-based Herberger Institute Advising workshop today!
  • Are you a student who will be attending in person and want to come to campus for your workshop?  Please sign up for our campus-based Herberger Institute Advising workshop. You can only book within a month of these workshops, so make a note and please return when you are within 4 weeks of your chosen date.
