Applying for college can seem overwhelming, but don't worry, we've narrowed everything into an easy to follow application checklist.
1. TAKE A CAMPUS TOUR
Learn about all A-State has to offer while visiting campus! We have a great team of student Chancellor's Ambassadors who love showing future students around the place they call home. To schedule a campus visit, click the link below and select the type of tour, date, and time that works best for you.
2. COMPLETE AN APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION
Please complete an online admissions application. Click the link "Create an account" under the First-Time User heading. You will be emailed a temporary PIN number for your initial log in. Then you can set a new password. This will allow you to log in at any time and check your application status. For more detailed instructions, please check our UG application Guide .
3. SUBMIT A $30 NON-REFUNDABLE APPLICATION FEE
You will pay the application fee online when completing your application. To apply for an application fee waiver, please submit the Undergraduate Application Fee Waiver Request Form.
4. REQUEST OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS
Once you've applied, have your high school send us your transcript. This is typically handled through your high school counseling office. Also, if you've taken any concurrent enrollment college courses, have those official transcripts sent as well.
Official transcripts can be sent electronically through school verified sites or mailed to:
Office of Admissions, Records and Registration - Arkansas State University
P.O. Box 1800
State University, AR 72467
5. SEND OFFICIAL TEST SCORES
Official ACT scores, SAT scores, ASSET, COMPASS, or ACCUPLACER scores must be mailed directly to the university from the testing institution or the high school. Test scores are only valid five years from the date of exam.
Note: Hand-carried documents are not considered official records.
6. SUBMIT TWO MMR (MUMPS, RUBELLA & RUBEOLA/MEASLES) RECORDS
MMR records are not required for admissions but must be submitted to enroll in on-campus courses.
Upload a copy of your MMR records to your application or have MMR records sent to:
Office of Admissions, Records and Registration - Arkansas State University
P.O. Box 1800
State University, AR 72467
or FAX to: (870) 972-3406
Note: Please allow approximately 7-10 business days for your application to be processed once all your application information/required documents have been received. Once admitted, you will receive an acceptance letter by mail from the Office of Admissions.
