Your school has a designated ASU representative that can help guide you through the application, picking a campus and major, financial aid and many other important questions. Your representative has scheduled visits to your high school.
You must have a social security number to apply for admission to ASU.
Apply online with ASU’s Application for Admission or the Common Application . You need to submit only one application to be considered for admission to ASU.
To expedite the admission decision, use ASU’s Application for Admission and self-report your high school grades. The benefit of using the Common Application is that one application can be submitted to multiple colleges, with an additional supplemental form and fee for each college. The fee for the Common Application and ASU’s Application for Admission may be different, so please review before deciding which option is right for you. ASU does not require an essay or personal statement in either option.

ACT or SAT scores are required for merit scholarship consideration and ASU course placement. They are also required for some majors and can be helpful in the general admission process. Have your test scores sent to ASU from ACT or College Board.
More info on ACT and SATTake one or both of these college aptitude tests your junior year. If you take the tests early, you will have time to retake the test for a higher score, should you choose to do so.
Test scores are not a requirement for admissions, but ASU must have a test score on file to award merit based scholarships. Having test scores on file can only help you. Use our scholarship estimator to see how increasing your test score can earn you more scholarship money.
You will have the choice to select up to four schools to have your scores mailed to for free. Make sure to request that your test scores be sent to ASU. If you wait until later to request this, you will be charged $15 by the test provider, per request. ASU will accept your best score from either test.
If you are unable to pay the test fee, be sure to talk to your high school counselor and ask for a test fee waiver. Both ACT and SAT offer waivers and foster students automatically qualify.
Once you’ve completed all these steps, ASU will review your application. To see if you have any missing items and to review your admission status, sign in at My ASU using your ASURITE UserID, which is sent to you after you apply for admission.
