Newly admitted students will receive a welcome email from the School of Life Sciences advising office within 1-3 days of their official ASU admission. This email contains instructions on how to complete our online Canvas modules for an onboarding process. Once completed, students may schedule their Initial Advising Appointment. This will be a group advising session designed to get you started with the basics of your major and the resources available during academic advising.
