How to meet with us before or after applying

Before applying to ASU:

If you would like to set an appointment with one of our advisors prior to transferring to ASU, we are happy to meet with you.  We ask that you call our front office 480-965-3199 or email us at [email protected] to request an appointment.  Let our worker who you speak with know that you are a potential ASU transfer student, where you are transferring from, what program you want to transfer into, and what you would like to discuss with us.  Also please let them know if you have previously met with one of our advisors so that you can meet with that same advisor again.

After acceptance to ASU:

Once you have been assigned an advisor, you are still welcome to call the front desk to set an appointment, or you can also use the Online Scheduling Tool.

When it is time for your appointment, be sure to have your questions ready and bring any materials that might be helpful to the advisor in the appointment.  For example, if you would like to discuss your transfer courses, and what you will be getting credit for, it is a good idea to bring an unofficial transcript from your current school with you.

There are many great resources here on-campus to give students the best service in specific areas.  As an advising office, we act as a hub for these resources, so know that for some of your questions, you may not get a specific answer from your advisor, but we can steer you in the right direction.  Some of these areas may include:

• Financial Aid Questions
• Admissions issues
• Evaluation of transfer courses

Tutoring

Besides various Tutoring Centers available on-campus for just about every subject, the Fulton Schools offer FREE tutoring services to all ASU students in undergraduate-level coursework.  The main Center is in The Engineering Center-F Wing (ECF), Room 102.  Students can get tutoring there in Physics, Math, and various Engineering areas.

More information about the tutoring center.

Career Services

As part of the Fulton Schools of Engineering, we are blessed to be able to work with the Engineering Career Center.  They assist students as a resource for career development through one-on-one meetings in areas such as: resume writing, interview preparation, what programs/courses will best help you prepare for your field of interest, and what experience is necessary before you graduate.

Besides this, the Career Center holds various workshops and events to help students, including two Career Fairs each year. These are great events for Engineering students only, and so each and every company/organization that attends is looking for someone like you!

More information on the Engineering Career Center.

Student Orgs

Getting involved outside of regular classes is key to getting the most out of your educational experience here at ASU, and there are many ways for you to get involved here!  There are more than 50 engineering organizations campus-wide beside the many non-engineering organizations, so there’s sure to be something that fits what you are passionate about; and if there is not, start your own organization!

Learn more about student organizations in the Fulton Schools and how you can get involved.

I’ve been admitted to a ground campus program but can’t register, what do I do?

Once you have been admitted to one of our programs, you will need to go through an advising presentation and advising session before you are able to register.  To get more information on that, please email [email protected] and specify that you are a new transfer student and would like to register for a transfer advising session.

What do I need to do once I’ve been admitted before coming?

Once you have been admitted, there are various things you should do before coming to campus.  A good place to start will be your To Do Items or Holds on your My ASU.  This will include immunization records, sending official transcripts, and other important steps.

More information on what is required for each item can be found by clicking on that item.  There is usually a contact number if you have questions, but as always, ask your advisor if you are confused about where to go and what to do next.

My transcripts were sent but they’re not showing.  What do I do?

There are a few reasons why your transcripts are not showing on your file yet.  First, you contact the ASU Admissions office to see if the transcript has been received but not recorded yet.  If that is the case, it may just be a matter of waiting a little longer.

If they have not yet been received by ASU Admissions, it is a good idea to contact the Registrar’s office from your previous school to verify the transcript was sent and, if needed, have another copy sent.

If your transcript has not arrived or been recorded, and your classes in the upcoming semester may be affected, contact your advisor for advice on what else you may be able to do.

How do I make sure my transfer credits are applying?

The best resource to verify transfer credits from other institutions is the Transfer Credit Guide: webapp4.asu.edu/transfercreditguide/app/home
