The following categories of students are required to receive advising and to be cleared on the Mandatory Advising Computer System before they may register for classes:

• all freshmen;
• transfer students in their first semester at ASU;
• students with admissions competency deficiencies;
• students with special admissions status;
• students on probation;
• students who have been disqualified;
