Paying your first-year enrollment deposit

Once you’ve been admitted and decide you want to attend ASU as a first-year student, your next step is to reserve your spot in the incoming class by submitting the $300 enrollment deposit. We encourage students to submit their enrollment deposit to commit to ASU as soon as they feel ready. 

Once the enrollment deposit is made, you can take your next steps in registering for an Academic Orientation Session to enroll in fall classes and confirm your housing and meal plan preferences in ASU’s housing portal. Students should note that it may take 24 to 48 hours for their enrollment deposit status to reflect in the housing portal. ASU’s priority date to confirm housing is May 15. 

All Arizona students can delay payment of their enrollment deposit and have the $300 deposit applied to their fall charges. We hope this alleviates concerns about the $300 enrollment deposit being an obstacle to enrollment. To delay payment, select the “pay enrollment deposit” button in My ASU and you will see the option to delay payment.

Students admitted to more than one master’s program in the same term will need to submit the university enrollment deposit only once. Upon admission to additional master’s programs, you will be required to submit the degree selection form. Your university enrollment deposit payment will be applied to the program you select on that form. You do not need to wait to be admitted to multiple master’s programs before submitting your university enrollment deposit. 

Some colleges or departments may require department deposits in addition to this university enrollment deposit to access advising, departmental course registration or access to additional resources provided by the college you are admitted to. Please contact your department directly for information regarding departmental deposit payments and refunds. Payment of a departmental enrollment deposit does not meet the requirement to pay the university enrollment deposit. 

If you are an Arizona resident who submitted your FAFSA, you can delay payment of your university enrollment deposit and begin your next steps. Your deposit will be posted with your first semester charges and can be paid accordingly when charges are due.
