Here are the deadlines you and your students need to know:

ASU priority admission date

Our application is open, and your students can apply through ASU’s application for admission, the Common Application or the Coalition Application. It takes less than 20 minutes to apply, and they need to submit only one application for ASU to consider them for admission. ASU’s priority admission deadline is Nov. 1. 

• For the fall 2022 semester, ACT and SAT scores are not required for admission or merit scholarships. ASU will continue awarding our New American University merit scholarships based on core competencies and unweighted GPA at the time of admission. We encourage students and families to use our Scholarship Estimator to learn more about what a student may be eligible for. Please encourage your students to submit their applications soon, so they can be evaluated for merit scholarships when we begin awarding in October. We strongly encourage students to apply well in advance of our Nov. 1 priority date. 

BSN direct admission requirement changes

Effective fall 2022, students applying to ASU’s four-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing program must meet the higher admission requirements and submit their application by the priority application date of Nov. 1. 

For first-year admission, students must meet one of the following:

• Top 10% of high school graduating class.

• GPA of 3.80 in ASU competency courses (based on 4.00 grading scale).

• GPA of 3.50 in ASU competency courses AND either a 25 ACT or 1230 SAT combined evidence-based reading and writing plus math score.

First-year admission applications to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program received after the Nov. 1 application priority date are considered on a space-available basis. Students not offered admission directly to the nursing program are placed in the BS in community health program.

Barrett, The Honors College application is open 

We hope you will encourage your motivated and high-achieving seniors to apply to Barrett, so they can be part of an academically enriching honors college experience full of opportunities to thrive.  

Here are the steps your students need to take to join ASU’s honors community:

Step 2

ASU offers hundreds of scholarships through the Scholarship Portal, ranging from a couple hundred dollars to several thousand. Some are scholarships dedicated to students coming from different regions, while others honor family foundations and specific organizations.
