Frequently Asked Questions

Each student at ASU has an Academic Advising hold on their account that is not removed, even after speaking with an advisor. All registrations and schedule changes must be made through an Advisor. The advising hold does not restrict you from accessing any part of your account or classes (grades, tuition bill, transcripts, assignments, etc.), it only restricts the act of registering for your classes without an advisor.

You can see your advisor anytime you have questions or need direction. You are required to meet with your advisor to register for classes each semester.

Your advisor will contact you via your student email to schedule an appointment before registration opens.

A full-time course load means that you are registered for at least 12 credit hours. In most cases that equates to four classes. A part-time course load is any number of classes less than 12 credit hours.

All students in good academic standing may take a maximum of 18 credits per semester.

To progress toward your degree during the recommended time frame*, you will need to enroll in 15 hours each Fall and Spring semester.

Students on academic probation are limited to a maximum of 13 credits.

*Recommended time frame:
Associate Degrees – 2 years
Bachelor Degrees – 4 years

A pre-requisite course is a course or requirement that must be met in order to register for another course. For example, ENGL 1101 must be completed, with a C or better, before taking ENGL 1102. In other words, your permanent academic record (Transcript) must show that you have successfully completed ENGL 1101 before you can register for ENGL 1102.

A co-requisite course is a class that you may be required to take while taking another course.

Academic Standing is determined by grades at the end of each semester. A student can view their current academic standing by logging into Banner Web. If the grade point average does not meet the minimum, then it will result in one of the following: probation or suspension.

While on probation, a student is restricted to registering for no more than 13 semester-hours and will be required to develop an academic success plan with their advisor while attending mandatory academic success sessions. A student will remain on probation until their institutional cumulative GPA reaches or exceeds the minimum specified in the Stages of Progress Table or their term GPA is 2.5 or higher.

If a student wishes to change their major, it is recommended they speak with their advisor prior to making the decision.

Students who are wanting to make any changes to their Major, Minor, and/or Concentration will need to submit the appropriate form to the Office of the Registrar. All changes submitted as of two days before the semester starts will be processed for that semester. All changes submitted once classes begin will be effective for the next semester. 

Change of Major/Minor/Concentration

Please note: Changing your major from an Associate degree to a Bachelor degree will increase your tuition charges.

Tuition and Fees Schedule

Advisors are assigned based on Academic College. If your major change moves you to a different college, you will have a new advisor. If your new major is within the same college, you may remain with your current advisor.

Course Withdrawal is a request by a student to cancel their enrollment in a particular course after the schedule adjustment (Add/Drop) registration period for the term and prior to the end of the term.

.For more information on course withdrawal – visit HERE

Students who make changes to their schedules during the schedule adjustments (Add/Drop) registration period will have the course dropped (removed) from their schedule and their account balance updated (if applicable).

After the schedule adjustment (Add/Drop) registration period, and until the last day to withdrawal without academic penalty, students will receive a grade of W for any course withdrawal that is below the 16 hour limit. 

After the last day to withdrawal without academic penalty students will receive a WF for each course withdrawal. There are financial aid and grade point average (GPA) conditions associated with the WF.

Students with an approved Hardship Withdrawal will receive a grade of W for any course that is approved as part of the Hardship Withdrawal.

Withdrawals from courses may affect housing, graduation, athletics, financial aid, and membership in organizations or other opportunities.
