First Time Taking A College Course?
STEP 1: Activate Your ASURITE
What is an ASURITE?
Your ASURITE ID (the Arizona State University Rational Information Technology Environment) identification is the primary user name login at ASU for your college courses.
Why is it important?
This account starts your college academic record through ASU and how you will access your ULC and Concurrent Courses.
FIRST STEP
Have your ASURITE ID on hand. If you don’t know what this is, please reach out to your LSC or Counselor and ask them to resend the activation email.

Activation Code
Duo Two Factor Authentication
4. Set up Duo Two Factor Authentication with your cell number
Pro Tips
Duo Two Factor Authentication
Once you have successfully activated your ASURITE account for the first time, you will be prompted to set up “Duo Two-Factor Authentication”
What is this?
ASU uses two-factor authentication to protect you and your data from cyber security threats. You will be asked to enroll in Duo if you are enrolled in classes in the current semester.
Two-factor authentication uses a combination of your password (something you know) and a device that you own (like a phone) to access ASU systems.
Types of devices you can use:
Smart Phone and Mobile App
Phone (Cell phone, landline or internet based phone)
Select "Remember me for 7 days"
If you select the "Remember me for 7 days" checkbox, the system will not prompt you for a two factor authentication using the specific browser and computer for 7 days.
Steps for Success
1. Print/Review Your Syllabus
📅 Check all due dates and plan ahead
📚 Find required books/materials
📝 Understand grading, rules, and expectations
Your syllabus is your guide — read it carefully and refer to it often!
2. Buy Textbooks (CONCURRENT Only)
Textbooks & Materials
Most college classes require textbooks, which aren’t covered by ASU Prep. You’ll need to buy or rent them yourself through:
-
Amazon or other online retailers
-
Rental or digital textbook sites
Some courses include a digital book automatically charged to your ASU account. You're responsible for any textbook fees—ASU Prep only covers approved credit hours
3. Set Up Accommodations - 504/ IEP Support in College Courses
If a student has an IEP or 504 plan in place, it is their responsibility to contact the ASU Student Accessibility and Inclusive Learning Services Center on the ASU campus (https://eoss.asu.edu/accessibility) to request appropriate accommodations.
*Note: accommodations will be reviewed and may be subject to limitations due to the ASU learning environment.
