Getting Started

 

The New Student Orientation Experience will guide you through everything you need to know about your new journey as a Sun Devil. Before you can begin your New Student Orientation Experience, a $300 enrollment deposit must be paid.

The enrollment deposit allows you to begin your next steps toward enrollment, which include registering for New Student Orientation, getting your ID card and selecting your room in a residence hall. You can submit your enrollment deposit beginning Oct. 1.

If you are an Arizona resident starting in the fall semester, who submitted your FAFSA, you can delay payment of your enrollment deposit and begin your next steps. Your deposit will be posted with your first semester charges and can be paid accordingly when charges are due.
