Parent of a freshman? We're so glad you're here — visit our parent page.
1. Register as a student
The first step is the easiest one.
When you register, we know your name, we can pray for you, and we can make sure you never feel like a stranger when you walk through the door. It takes two minutes.
2. Join us for Welcome Week
Every day of Welcome Week, we have something just for you.
Welcome Week is the fastest way to meet people, find your footing, and feel at home at ASU Catholic before classes even begin. We have events every single day — food, community, and a chance to meet students who will become some of your closest friends.
Check the student calendar for the full Welcome Week schedule.
3. Find your people
Community is not something you find. It is something you show up for.
The students who go deepest in their faith at ASU are the ones who join a small group or Bible study early. These are the friendships that outlast college. We will help you find the right one for you.
4. Go deeper — Freshman Experience and Awakening
Some of the best moments of your college years will happen on a retreat.
Once you are settled into the semester, we want to invite you to go deeper. These two retreats are made for freshmen and will change the way you see your faith, your friendships, and your time at ASU.
Freshman Experience
A retreat designed specifically for first-year students. Come ready to encounter Christ, make lasting friendships, and discover what your Catholic faith can look like at ASU.
Awakening Retreat Weekend
A weekend retreat that has brought hundreds of ASU students into a deeper relationship with Christ. Come expecting something real.
5. Consider Mary College
$300 Newman 101 Scholarship + Mary College
You need Humanities, Arts and Design credit to graduate from ASU. Every freshman does.
The Newman 101 Scholarship lets you take Catholic Studies 101: The Great Catholic Adventure for only $300 — and it fulfills that requirement in full.
This isn't an extra class. It's the class you already have to take.
Catholic Studies courses count directly toward real ASU requirements — HUAD, GCSI, CIVI, and more. So why not spend that credit on the ideas, books, and history that shaped Western civilization — and your own faith?
Stay in the loop.
