Frequently asked questions about becoming a first-year student at ASU
Do I need to submit ACT or SAT scores to be admitted or to qualify for merit scholarships at ASU?
No. ACT/SAT scores are not required for admission to ASU or to be considered for an ASU merit-based scholarship, but they are encouraged.

Apply as early as possible — the earlier you apply, the sooner you’ll receive an admission decision. The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. Be sure to review the admission requirements for your student type and check the deadline for your intended start term.
