With several community colleges and other universities in the Phoenix-metro area, you may find that you want to take a class at one of these schools in addition to your full-time enrollment at ASU. In order to do so, you will need authorization.
Before making your request, be sure that you are enrolled full-time at ASU. If you are requesting authorization for the summer semester or winter break, you must be enrolled full-time for the semester immediately following the semester/break.
Requesting Authorization of Additional Coursework Outside ASU
01
Submit the Authorization for Additional Coursework Outside of ASU eForm via the ISSC eForm Portal.
- Make sure you are eligible to enroll in courses at another institution.
- If you are a graduate student, indicate the purpose of your course enrollment at another institution.
- If you are a sponsored student, you must submit your proof of sponsor approval in the eForm.
02
The ISSC processing time is up to 7 business days after we have received your complete eForm request.
This does not include weekends or ASU observed holidays. During peak seasons, processing times may be more than 7 business days as we deal with a higher volume of requests.
If further information or documentation is needed, we will contact you via email or phone. You will receive an email when your authorization has been approved. The institution you wish to take classes at will also receive an authorization approval email.
To avoid delays, make sure that:
01
Your My ASU profile is current and up to date
- Local (U.S.) address
- SEVIS address
- Phone number
Ensure you are full-time enrolled for the semester you are requesting an ACOA
02
If you are a new or transfer student to ASU, you must complete the mandatory SEVIS New Student Check-in eForm before submitting your Authorization for Additional Coursework Outside of ASU eForm via the ISSC eForm Portal.
Work with ASU's University Registrar Services to transfer credit hours to your ASU degree program, if applicable.
