What to expect for your on-campus visit
Before your on-campus visit
We require all visitors to register before arriving on campus. To register for a campus tour, go to visit.asu.edu. Tours are scheduled on specific days and times, based on the campus you would like to visit. There are also self-guided and virtual options available.
Before coming to ASU, you’ll also want to be aware that most of Arizona does not observe daylight saving time. Depending on where you live, the time difference between your city and Arizona may vary during the year.
