Your next steps as an admitted graduate student

After you activate your ASURITE User ID, visit My ASU

After you applied to ASU, you were issued an ASURITE User ID in an email with the subject line “ASU Account Activation.” This ID gives you access to ASU’s online student services in My ASU, which is where you can take care of Priority Tasks, take action on your I-20 tracker, see when registration opens, view your admission letter, get information on your academic department and advising, take care of finances, and more. First, you must activate your ASURITE User ID online.

To log in to My ASU, you will need your activation code that was sent to you after you were admitted. You can have your activation code for My ASU resent to you by visiting admission.asu.edu/resendcode. If you still need help logging in, contact your admission team member.

Remember to save your admission letter, which is posted to My ASU, so you have it for travel.

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.

Request your I-20 and apply for your visa
