Additional methods for connecting with an advisor are outlined here.
Next Steps
Your admit letter is available on My ASU. Make sure you download and save this document for future reference as it will only be available via My ASU during your first semester. If you were assigned any additional course requirements, they are listed in your admit letter. See Additional Course Requirements page for more details.
It may be necessary for you to work with multiple offices to complete the admissions steps and finalize your registration. Below are different items you may have questions about and who to contact.
You do not need to formally accept your admission to ASU. You need to clear any holds and priority tasks and register for courses to show your intent to join.
Click on the item in your MyASU and you will find the details of what needs to be done and who to contact if necessary.
The process for submitting degree certificates and official transcripts is outlined here: https://admission.asu.edu/transcripts
Questions regarding official transcripts or the degree certificate need to be sent to Graduate Admissions: gograd@asu.edu
The main method of communication used by the university and the school to correspond with you is through your ASU email account. Make sure you register for your first course as soon as possible. This will ensure you have access to your ASU email account and are receiving important communication.
It is important to regularly check your ASU email account. It is not recommended to forward your ASU email to another account. All official communications from ASU will go to your ASU email address.
Manage your ASU email via the Profile tab on My ASU. For assistance with your ASU e-mail account, visit: https://contact.asu.edu/.
There will be a mandatory orientation course that will need to be completed prior to the start of your first course. Degree requirements and other important information will be covered. You will receive an email notification to your ASU email when you have been added to the course on Canvas (monitor your inbox and spam folders).
The orientation course covers SCAI on-campus and online degree programs, and not all information may apply to you as an online student. You will only need to complete the MS Industrial Engineering Orientation Module.
If you did not receive a invitation notification to the SCAI Graduate Orientation Canvas course, you can access the course by clicking on the Canvas link in My ASU, or you may also self-enroll for the course here.
It is your responsibility as a student to familiarize yourself with dates and deadlines.

Students may defer their initial term of admission to the next term through their My ASU page by using the Request Change link. If you have registered for a class after being admitted to the program, then your deferral cannot be processed. You must first drop all your classes and then request the deferral.
The deadline to request a deferral is 11:59 PM (AZ time) on the session B drop deadline (see academic calendar).
Students may only defer their admission one time.
If you have already deferred one semester, you will need to submit a new admissions application for a future semester. One year deferral requests will not be approved.
