Paying your first-year enrollment deposit

Once you’ve been admitted and decide you want to attend ASU as a first-year student, your next step is to reserve your spot in the incoming class by submitting the $300 enrollment deposit. 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.
