First-year student
Welcome, new student
You’re now on your way to becoming part of the most innovative and forward-thinking university in the nation.
They say the longest journey begins with a single step. Well, enrolling at ASU isn’t really a “long journey,” but it does begin with one step, followed by a few more. Start taking your steps and check them off as you complete them so you can get closer to becoming a Sun Devil.
First-year student next steps


Activate your ASURITE User ID
Your ASURITE User ID grants you access to My ASU and university services. You’ll find reminders for things like submitting your final transcripts, sending in your test scores and submitting your immunization forms.
When you activate your ASURITE User ID, you will select to have your ASU email forwarded to a personal account. It's important to check your email often for time-sensitive notifications and next steps about enrollment. You'll have access to your official ASU email when classes begin. You can check which email your ASU email is forwarding to by looking in the profile tab in My ASU.
If you need helping logging in, you can have your activation code for My ASU sent to you by visiting admission.asu.edu/resendcode or by contacting your admission team member.
