We expect all of our new students to attend an orientation program, but understand that's not always possible.  Out-of-state students will be advised by phone; in-state students will sign up for an Advising workshop.  However, not everything covered in a day-long orientation program can be covered in an hour-long phone appointment or a two-hour group workshop.  That's why this website was created.  

The information presented here will show you how to select your classes and build your first schedule.  However, the term 'orientation' implies learning and getting acquainted to ASU's campus.  To do this through cyberspace requires more effort on your part.  Our on-campus programs last all day long, so our request that you spend 45 minutes on this website is quite reasonable.  We expect you to take this assignment seriously and complete all exercises completely.  You will have to speak with an advisor before you register, but that won't happen until you've completed this homework to our satisfaction.  

So, grab your paper and lucky pencil and let's get started.  When you are finished, your "homework" will be submitted electronically and you will be given instructions on how to schedule a phone advising appointment (for out-of-state students), or an Advising Workshop (for in-state students).
