Orientation
Once you’ve been admitted, your next step is to reserve your spot in the incoming class by submitting the $300 enrollment deposit for first year students or $250 for Transfer Students. We encourage students to submit their enrollment deposit to commit to ASU as soon as they feel ready. You can submit your enrollment deposit beginning Oct. 1.
Once the enrollment deposit has been made, you will be able to access your New Student Orientation Experience and begin the enrollment process for your first semester. You will also be able to confirm your housing and meal plan preferences in ASU’s housing portal. Students should note that it may take 24 to 48 hours for their enrollment deposit status to reflect in the housing portal. ASU’s priority date to confirm housing is May 15 for the fall semester.
These online modules are designed to guide you through your enrollment journey at ASU. Available in three easy steps, access begins once your enrollment deposit has been received.
Kick off your new life as a Sun Devil by immersing yourself in the spirit, pride and tradition that is unique to ASU. A celebration across all campus locations, Welcome activities help you meet fellow students, learn about campus resources and acclimate to your new home. Soak it all in.
