How to Register for Classes

Step One: Apply for Admission

All new students will first need to apply for admission to ASU. All new undergraduate students should also follow these additional steps for enrollment to ASU. Continuing ASU students can skip this step and move on to step two.  

Step Two: Check Enrollment Appointments

After admission, students should check their enrollment appointments. This is the date and time that students can begin registering for the upcoming semester. While students can register anytime from the beginning of their enrollment appointment through the end of the registration period, ASU strongly encourages students to register as soon as possible. Newly admitted freshmen will have their enrollment appointment on the day they attend their Orientation Program.  Students can sign in to My ASU to view the date and time of their enrollment appointment. Note: enrollment appointments are not required for the summer or winter sessions.  Consult the Academic Calendar for more information on important dates and deadlines.

Step Three: Clear any Registration Holds

Students should sign in to My ASU to determine if they have any holds that will prevent them from registering for classes. Examples of registration holds include missing transcripts, unpaid fees, academic advising requirements and immunizations requirements. Clearing registration holds as quickly as possible avoids delays in registration which can impact student's chances of getting the classes and schedule that is for them. 

Step Four: Register for Classes

Once students have cleared any registration holds and their enrollment appointment has arrived, they are ready to register for classes. Students may register for classes online or in person. Students can also search for available classes online or browse a list of classes in pdf format.

Step Five: Pay Tuition and Fees

Once students are registered they can sign in to My ASU to view and/or pay their tuition and fees. More information concerning how tuition and fees are calculated and important deadlines for paying tuition and fees is available on our Student Business Service's web page.

Step Six: Purchase Textbooks

Students can sign in to My ASU to review their class schedule, obtain their required book list, and order textbooks through the ASU Bookstores.
