The university is committed to the belief that an education involves more than attending class. While the assimilation of information is a central part of the university experience, learning about others, about independence and leadership, and about living in a complex society are equally important. Student Affairs’ services and developmental programs reflect this philosophy.
UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSIONS
For many undergraduates, the first introduction to ASU is through the recruitment and admission programs of Undergraduate Admissions. Personal contact with prospective students through high school and community college visits and through student visits on campus are some of the approaches that provide information about the academic programs and support services available at ASU. A primary goal of Undergraduate Admissions is to identify, inform, motivate, recruit, and enroll students from ethnic groups underrepresented at ASU. Orientation programs ease the students’ (and parents’) transition to the ASU campus. Undergraduate Admissions also coordinates and supports the ASU Parents Association. For more information, call 602/965–7788. - Back to Top
STUDENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Approximately two-thirds of the full-time students at ASU rely on some form of financial assistance to meet their educational expenses. The purpose of Student Financial Assistance is to review and award financial resources from a variety of private, federal, state, and institutional sources. Information about and applications for scholarships, grants, loans, and student employment are coordinated by this department. From these types of assistance, 30,400 students received approximately $225 million in 1996–97.
Computerization and an understanding of students’ needs have contributed to the efficient and responsive operation of this student resource. Assistance in student loan counseling and debt management services are innovative programs offered through this agency. ASU is nationally recognized for providing this unique financial aid service. For more information, call 602/965–3355. - Back to Top
REGISTRAR
Management of the registration system and maintenance of academic records are the primary responsibilities of the Office of the Registrar. InTouch, the ASU touch-tone telephone system for registration and fee payment, and the online registration system, accessible at any registrar site, including one at ASU West, ease the enrollment process and make ASU a national leader in the use of computerized registration. The Student Information System stores academic records and improves the quality of data used in academic advising. The Office of the Registrar coordinates applications for graduation and undergraduate readmission, course changes and scheduling, transcript services, applications for residency, and verification of enrollment. Additional information is available on the Web at www.asu.edu/registrar or by phone at 602/965–3175.
Veterans Services
This office offers complete educational services for US veterans and their eligible dependents. Counseling about admissions, registration, and veterans benefits is available. Veterans programs provide service by advising all interested veterans and dependents about educational benefits and their optimum use. Students must apply each semester to receive veterans benefits. The program also assists veteran students in obtaining suitable paid tutors, when needed, using their federal benefits. Veterans must achieve adequate GPAs and semester-hour progress toward their academic programs for continued educational benefits. The university must report this progress each semester. Students receiving veterans educational benefits are not eligible to receive pay for audited courses. The Veterans Services Section is located in SSV B117. For more information, call 602/965–7723. - Back to Top
RESIDENTIAL LIFE
Living in one of the ASU Main residence halls provides students the opportunity to make the most of their college experience. Special residential communities for freshmen, honors students, students participating in fraternities and sororities, and students in particular academic areas offer opportunities to enrich campus life.
ASU East housing includes residence halls as well as two- to five-bedroom homes. Call 602/988–9160 for further information. For additional information about ASU East housing, see “ASU East.”
The Freshman Year Experience program provides a unique environment of classrooms, live-in tutors, academic advisors, and other support services designed to help freshmen develop skills for success.
The Campus Communities program (see the Institute for Cocurricular Programs and Service [ICPS]) provides residential communities for students with interests in a variety of areas. Students who do not want to participate in a campus community can benefit from the activities of other residential communities, including halls that feature apartment-style or single rooms, or one that promotes a study-intensive environment.
Students are encouraged to apply for housing early. While applications are accepted at any time, assignment to a residence hall is not made until a student is admitted to the university. Residence hall assignments are made based upon the date of receipt of both the completed application and deposit. Requests for specially modified rooms for students with disabilities should be noted on the application.

For more information, call 602/965–2288 or 602/965–2249.
Institute for Cocurricular Programs and Service
Institute for Cocurricular Programs and Service (ICPS) is an interdisciplinary program designed to connect students and faculty who share common interests. The program has both curricular and cocurricular elements, enabling students and faculty to meet in small seminars for course credit, or in informal discussion or workshop settings.
Involvement in the institute’s programs enables students to explore real-world issues and gain experience with larger, nonuniversity communities. A number of academically based activities allow for close contact between students and professors, in-depth discussion of interdisciplinary themes, and service or research experiences centered around an interest area. ICPS activities are open to all undergraduate students with an interest in exploring a theme or building community among like-minded students and faculty.
ICPS offers various options for involvement in this program. Students may choose to participate in any or all aspects of the program, ranging from drop-in participation in seminars to living in a community in one of the university’s residence halls.
Residential Communities. Students with a deep commitment to their interest area might choose to live in a community, regularly sponsoring their own programs around their interdisciplinary theme interest. These communities share space in one of the ASU residence halls, participating in regular residential activities, but working through their own leadership and with the Institute for Cocurricular Programs and Service staff to create a sense of place for community residents. In 1996–97, the Institute for Cocurricular Programs and Service offered nine residential communities: The Arts, from performance and studio arts to literature and other creative activities; Athena focuses on architecture, environmental design, and the humanities, from the classical to the cutting edge; Deaf Pride addresses deaf, hard-of-hearing issues and American Sign Language; Diana focuses on how women develop as leaders and creative individuals in our society; El Zócalo studies Chicana/Chicano life; Fitness focuses on exercise, health, and nutrition; Four Winds focuses on Native American issues and culture; 21st Century has emphasis on technology, culture, and society, including the Internet; and UMOJA, the African American experience. Students interested in developing a residential community may propose to live in the community early in spring for the following academic year.
Community Service Internships. Students with a 2.50 GPA from any academic program may enroll for three to six hours of internship credit for working in an area of community service. The Institute for Cocurricular Programs and Service internship program is designed as a service learning experience that brings internship students together with various faculty members regularly during the internship experience to explore topics and issues that relate to community, service, citizenship, and student involvement.
Research Internships. The Institute for Cocurricular Programs and Service provides opportunities for students who wish to assist faculty in research that is multidisciplinary. Students may register for up to three hours of internship credit for working on specific projects that help them to learn about the research process, methodology, and implications of academic research. The Institute for Cocurricular Programs and Service works in conjunction with various faculty groups that have coordinated multidisciplinary research projects in the greater ASU community.
Seminar Discussion Classes. A highlight of the Campus Communities program is the one-hour seminar discussion course that is offered in multiple sections each semester. These courses meet for a total of 15 hours in one regular semester and are designed as small-group discussion seminars with one or two faculty members, exploring a particular theme. Some discussion seminar participants choose to work on a particular project; others engage in individual study and discussion; still others explore selected readings. Students and faculty are able to propose theme interest areas to the Campus Communities program.
Seminar Series. Throughout the academic year, the Institute for Cocurricular Programs and Service sponsors a series of small group seminars with individual faculty across disciplines to explore theme areas that students indicated as an interest area. Students are invited to propose and develop seminars along with the Institute for Cocurricular Programs and Service staff.
Capstone Course. A three-hour course that explores the nature of academic community; citizenship; what it means to be a college-educated person in the U.S. and world society; and the relationships among service, research, and education. The course is taught by faculty across disciplines and provides students with a service learning opportunity to reinforce the themes explored in class.
Community Theme Programs. As students’ interdisciplinary interests bring them together, they often develop their own ideas for group activities. These include such programs as film series, dance and music programs, holiday events with educational components, and joint events with agencies, schools, and groups in the greater ASU community.
Academic transcript recognition for participating in the Campus Communities program is based on fulfilling approved course work, including participation in the Campus Communities seminar series and designating a particular interdisciplinary theme area of interest.
Students interested in participation in Campus Communities may do so by attending a sponsored event, enrolling in a Campus Communities course, or by calling the program office for further information at 602/965–9600. The Institute for Cocurricular Programs and Service is housed in Student Affairs. - Back to Top
EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Educational Development comprises four programs designed to assist students with special needs and serves as an educational outreach program for ASU. The ASU/Phoenix Educational Opportunity Center, located off campus, provides information for college admissions and financial aid; the Upward Bound program provides college preparation for high school students that are first generation and low income; Disability Resources for Students is a comprehensive support program for students with disabilities who are attending ASU; and Veterans Upward Bound is a program that prepares veterans for postsecondary enrollment. All Educational Development programs are fully or partially funded by the U.S. Department of Education and are known nationally as TRIO programs.
The ASU/Phoenix Educational Opportunity Center. This community outreach service focuses on low-income individuals. The center has a main office at 1000 E. Apache Boulevard, Suite 118, Tempe, AZ, and satellite offices around Maricopa County. It offers vocational testing and guidance as well as assistance in application for admission, scholarships, and financial assistance at a postsecondary institution suited to particular individuals’ needs. Services are free. For more information, call 602/894–8451.
Disability Resources for Students. Disability Resources for Students (DRS) ensures that qualified students with disabilities, upon request, are provided with reasonable and effective accommodations. DRS facilitates equal access to educational and cocurricular programs, campus activities, and career and employment opportunities for qualified students with disabilities by offering a wide range of academic support services that include, but are not limited to, the following: academic and career consultation; campus and community program coordination and/or referrals; supplemental readers in coordination with Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic (RFB&D); an in-class note taking program; nonstandard academic testing accommodations; specialized equipment for specific disabilities; the Hewlett-Packard Adaptive Technology Center; American Sign Language or oral interpreters; TTY access including campus pay phones; educational materials, e.g., braille/alternative print production, large print, raised line charts and graphs; braille campus map; campus mobility services; and the Access Employment Program. Although students are responsible for their own personal care attendants, DRS does provide an Attendant Management Training Program for students with disabilities and maintains a current listing of applicants (untrained) for personal care attendants. Also, a U.S. Department of Education TRIO Student Support Services Grant allows DRS to incorporate a unique academic enhancement model into the disability support services program for 270 selected students with disabilities who meet TRIO eligibility requirements.
Some classroom accommodations, such as braille, audio tapes, interpreting services, enlarged print, and lab material conversions, require an extended preparation time, i.e., one semester. To ensure the availability of accommodations from the first day of class, students are required to preregister for classes and notify the appropriate DRS program coordinator immediately upon submitting a Course Request Preregistration form. Although DRS will attempt to provide requested appropriate accommodations for students who miss preregistration, they cannot be guaranteed and effective alternatives may be necessary.
Documentation is required and information regarding disabilities is confidential. For more information, call 602/965–1234 (Voice) or 602/965–9000 (TTY).
The Upward Bound Program. This program is designed to increase the academic skills and motivational levels of participants (low income, potential first-generation college students) to the extent that they will complete high school and enter postsecondary institutions. The year-round program includes summer residential components. For more information, call 602/965–6483.
Veterans Upward Bound. This program is designed for veterans who wish to pursue postsecondary education but whose life experiences did not adequately prepare them for the educational requirements of today. College preparation instruction in writing, reading, mathematics, general science, social science, study skills, and computer literacy are provided to suit each veteran’s individual needs. Veterans lacking a high school diploma can also prepare for obtaining their General Education Development (GED) while participating in Veterans Upward Bound. Interest inventory assessments and career advisement are also available. For more information, call 602/965–3944. - Back to Top
STUDENT LIFE
Working closely with a variety of student populations, Student Life strives to increase student involvement in the ASU experience. Opportunities for leadership and community involvement help students prepare for their roles as responsible citizens. Through their involvement in student activities, workshops, community service, and student governance, students learn the qualities of student leadership and the skills to be successful students.
Programs and services are targeted to an increasingly multicultural student community as Student Life places high priority upon the promotion of civic responsibility and the celebration of diversity. An emphasis is placed upon empowerment of individual students and student organizations, including international students, adults re-entering higher education, and commuter students.
ASU and Student Life encourage student volunteerism and community involvement. Concern for the social environment is reflected in the activities of the Cultural Diversity Committee, Student Judicial Affairs, the Re-entry Student Center, and the International Student Office.
Understanding the University Experience (Hispanic Mother/Daughter Program) involves precollege women in early preparation for college.
The Student Life staff works closely with the academic- and student-support service areas of the university to make sure that students are aware of and use available resources. Staff members also act as advocates for students with other campus departments. For more information, call 602/965–6547. - Back to Top
