About our program

Wouldn’t it be great to get a head start on college life and your major before the semester begins? As you prepare for your transition to ASU, you are invited to join some of your incoming classmates and participate in the two-week Early Start program. This exciting program is designed to prepare you for the fall semester and beyond.

Here are some of the highlights of the School of Social Transformation Early Start program:

  • Connect with faculty, academic mentors, tutors and staff dedicated to your success.
  • Learn about resources available on campus before other students arrive.
  • Gain a sneak peek at what to expect from your college courses and some of the study skills you’ll need.
  • Move into your residence hall early at no cost—if you have a housing assignment.
  • Get to know your classmates over free lunch and dinner Monday through Friday.
  • Develop some new strategies for how to succeed in college.
  • Join in fun social and academic activities with your new friends at ASU, such as movie nights and field trips.
