Undergraduate Advising
Transfer Students
STEP ONE - Investigate
Learn more about transferring at http://transfer.asu.edu/. You may also attend the TRANSFER WORKSHOP. At the transfer workshop, you will learn your next step to transfer to ASU regardless of where you are in the process. You will learn more about majors in Chemistry and Biochemistry and how they relate to pre-health professional schools (like Medical School, Pharmacy School, etc.), as well as careers in Chemistry and Biochemistry. Click here to see when the next workshop is and to sign up to attend one.
STEP TWO - Apply
Apply to ASU. When applying online, choose a major carefully. See the Degrees and Programs page for information on the various degrees offered in this department. Be sure that all of your transcripts from all institutions (including College Board, IB, etc.) are mailed directly to ASU Admissions as a part of the Admission process.
STEP THREE - Begin the Advising Process
The best advising for a transfer student in Chemistry and Biochemistry is at the TRANSFER WORKSHOP. At the transfer workshop, you will learn your next step to transfer to ASU regardless of where you are in the process. You will learn more about majors in Chemistry and Biochemistry and how they relate to pre-health professional schools (like Medical School, Pharmacy School, etc.), as well as careers in Chemistry and Biochemistry. Click here to see when the next workshop is and to sign up to attend one. Be sure to complete steps four and five before attending the workshop! Bring your unofficial transcripts with you.
If you are not able to attend a workshop (preferred and best advising is the workshop), you may schedule an appointment with your advisor by clicking here. Be sure to complete steps four and five before making the appointment! Bring your unofficial transcripts with you.
Tips in choosing an appointment time:
Be aware that the appointment will likely take more than the allotted 30 minutes. Thus, please choose a time that does not have the word "taken" after it. Also be aware that your advisor may email you to reschedule for a better one hour block of time.
STEP FOUR- Evaluate transfer courses
- All transfer students-
While most courses taken at a regionally accredited college or university are transferable, many issues impact how courses apply to a given degree program. ASU does not evaluate transfer credits in advance of an offer of admission. ASU accepts college-level (not remedial) courses in which you have earned a grade of C or better (on a scale where an A=4.0) from regionally accredited institutions. It is up to the college of your major to determine how transferable courses fulfill degree requirements for your ASU major. You may transfer up to 64 credits from a regionally accredited two-year college. And, while there is no limit to the number of courses that you may transfer from a regionally accredited four-year institution, university policies determine the number and type of ASU credits you need to earn your ASU degree. Every candidate for a baccalaureate degree is required to earn a minimum of 30 semester hours in resident credit courses at the ASU campus from which the student will graduate.
- Arizona Public Community Colleges-
All of the Arizona Public Community Colleges have articulation agreements with Arizona State University. This means that all of your courses have pre-determined equivalencies or fulfill pre-determined requirements. You can see the equivalencies at this website: https://www.aztransfer.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Admin_CEG. If you are only transferring from these institutions, you may proceed to Step Five.
- Arizona Public Universities -
Only some of the courses from U of A and NAU have articulation agreements with Arizona State University. This means that some of your courses have pre-determined equivalencies or fulfill pre-determined requirements. You can see the equivalencies at this website: https://www.aztransfer.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Admin_CEG. For other courses, you will need to treat them like Out of State and Private Colleges & Universities (see below).
- Out of State and Private Colleges & Universities -
Each of your courses that are accepted by ASU will transfer in only as elective credit. You will need to follow the below steps to evaluate your transfer courses.
- To have your First Year Composition evaluated, click here.
- To have general studies courses evaluated, click here.
- To have Chemistry and/or Biochemistry courses evaluated, click here. You may drop off, fax, or email the form and supplemental material to your advisor.
- To have Math, Biology, or Physics courses evaluated, contact the appropriate department (i.e. Math, School of Life Sciences, or Physics) for an evaluation form.
STEP FIVE - Complete steps in MyASU
Log in to MyASU using your ASURite login and password. If you need help with this, contact the Help Desk. Activate both aliases of your Gmail. Click on any holds you have and complete the processes to have them removed (the Advising hold will be taken off after step three or six). In MyASU, click on Finances>Sun Card>Get a Sun Card to find out how to get your student ID card.
STEP SIX - Finish the Advising Process and Register
Since you have already attended a TRANSFER WORKSHOP, you can schedule an appointment with your advisor by clicking here to determine what courses you should register for. If you and your advisor have already determined what courses you should register for at the workshop and your holds are off, you may register in MyASU>Registration>Add. If meeting with your advising again, bring your unofficial transcripts with you.
