Frequently asked questions

Admissions and enrollment

All students who don't meet the admission standards will be evaluated through a process called Individual Review. Through this process, Admission Services will review all available information about a student's application, carefully considering all aspects of a student's academic background and accomplishments. Submission of an ACT or SAT score is highly recommended. In some cases, ASU Admission Services may request additional information directly.

ASU accepts transfer credit for traditional coursework that a student has successfully completed at regionally accredited institutions of higher education as documented on an official transcript. You can use ASU transfer tools to learn how credits will transfer and begin creating your roadmap to graduation.

ASU’s Transfer Guide is a helpful online tool to assist you in your transfer planning process. Manage your Transfer Pathways, requested course evaluations, saved courses searches, saved exam searches and more.

Use the ASU Exam Search to see how your test scores from exams like AP, CLEP, or IB may apply for ASU credit.

The ASU Sync option is available only to transfer students residing in Arizona because of state regulations and student teaching placement requirements. Students should have completed an associate degree by the time they are enrolled at ASU. Students on F-1 or J-1 immigration status are not allowed to complete courses via Sync.
