Students who haven’t submitted this proof already must do so immediately, as immunization records must be submitted and processed before class registration. Access their Web site for more information: http://www.asu.edu/admissions/steps/immunization.html Residency Classification Residency (tuition) status initially is determined by the Admissions Office at the time a student is admitted to ASU. Non-resident students who feel they may qualify for resident tuition status must file a petition for reclassification.
