Advising New Freshmen

1. How do I apply to ASU?
   
   See http://asu.edu/admissions. This site provides information about how to contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at ASU, admissions applications procedures and requirements, and financial aid services. Once a prospective student has received an ASURITE ID and password, they may access ASU interactive to receive many additional on-line services. To learn more about getting this ID and password, see http://www.asu.edu/asurite.
   
   
2. What are the requirements for the Bachelors of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees in economics?
   
   These degree programs within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences are composed of three sets of requirements: (a) university general studies requirements which apply to all degree-seeking undergraduate students at ASU (see http://uc.asu.edu/advising/genstudies.php/); (b) CLAS general studies requirements which apply to all degree-seeking students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (see http://clas.asu.edu/students/degreerequirements/ and then select CLAS requirements); and (c) ECN department requirements for the BA or BS degree programs in economics within CLAS (see http://www.asu.edu/provost/smis/ and scroll down to the appropriate degree program). Checksheets for university and CLAS requirements may be accessed and downloaded from http://asu.edu/provost/articulation/curriculum.htm (click on the appropriate catalog year and scroll down to College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and then select Economics from within this listing).

4. What is the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences orientation program, and how do I get registered for a particular orientation session?
   
   New students enrolled in CLAS are required to participate in an orientation program. These programs are conducted both on the main campus and in selected cities throughout the United States prior to the beginning of the academic year. For information about these orientation programs, contact the Undergraduate Advising office in CLAS at:  http://clas.asu.edu/contact/contact_oup.htm
   
   
5. Do I need to take any placement exams in order to get registered at ASU?
   
   The university will place you in the appropriate freshman English course, based upon your SAT or ACT scores (see   http://www.asu.edu/admissions/orientation/tempeorientation/preorientation.html). Placement examinations are required in the areas of foreign languages (see http://www.asu.edu/clas/dll/placement/index.html) and mathematics (see http://fym.la.asu.edu/%7Epretest/placement-info.html)
   
   
6. How do I enroll for classes?
   
   Once you have been admitted, you may register for classes in four different ways (see http://www.asu.edu/registrar/registration/ways2reg.html.)
   
   
7. What do I do if the class I want to take is closed?
   
   Many classes close as a result of pre-registration which occurs during the previous regular semester. Students who do not get all of the classes that they requested, or students who first attempt to enroll during the drop-add period, may attempt to get register for classes they want during the drop-add period. Students should check on-line periodically before classes begin to see if a previously-closed class has opened up as a result of other students deciding to drop the class. On-line access to check for open sections of classes is available at  https://sec.was.asu.edu/soc/. Please note that after the fee payment deadline for registration for a particular term or semester, courses that are added during the drop-add process will only be held if all tuition and fees are paid by midnight of the day in which the course was added to the student's class schedule.
