Students who plan to attend ASU in person must submit an enrollment deposit to reserve their place in the incoming class. Enrollment deposit requirements vary by student type, so please select your student category below for specific details and deadlines.
Your student type is determined by the information you provided in your application:
- First-year students are applying directly from high school or have completed fewer than 12 transferable semester credits after high school.
- Transfer students have previously attended a college or university after high school and completed 12 or more transferable semester credits.
- Graduate students have already earned a bachelor’s degree and are admitted to a master's degree program.
Students pursuing a second bachelor’s degree follow the transfer student enrollment deposit process.
You can confirm your student type by reviewing your admission letter.
If you have questions about your student status, please contact your admission team member.
First-year undergraduate students: Paying your enrollment deposit
Submitting your enrollment deposit reserves your place in the incoming class as a first-year undergraduate student. The $300 deposit allows you to confirm your housing and meal plan preferences in the ASU housing portal. Note that it may take 24 to 48 hours for your enrollment deposit status to reflect in the housing portal. ASU’s priority date to confirm housing is May 15 for the fall semester.
Once you have confirmed your housing, you can begin Sun Devil Ready: New Student Orientation and schedule your virtual Academic Orientation Session, where you will enroll in your first-semester classes.
