We're here to help make each step toward becoming a Sun Devil a smooth experience. Follow the steps below to apply to become a first-year student at ASU. These are the general university admission requirements. Students who do not meet these aptitude requirements may be reviewed individually before a final admission decision is made.
Some degree programs have higher aptitude requirements. Applicants must successfully complete the ASU competency requirements. Admission may be granted with one deficiency in no more than two competency areas. Deficiencies cannot be in both math and laboratory science.
Students must earn a minimum 2. Most competencies may also be met by test scores or college courses. See detailed competency requirements for more information. You need to submit only one application to be considered for admission to ASU.
ASU does not have a preference for which application you use to apply, and we do not require an essay or personal statement for either of these options. Or you can mail a check or money order to Admission Services payable to Arizona State University at the address below.
If you applied for admission through the Common Application , pay the application fee through that application. There is no form, paper or code to submit for an application fee waiver. If your financial circumstances qualify you for an application fee waiver, you will answer a series of questions in the application that will automatically qualify you and post to your account.
