A complete application, includes the following:

Submission of the following online application materials:
- Applicant information

- Two letters of recommendation from faculty members the student has had in college/university.
- Student's transcript on file at ASU. {Note: The Honors College can access within the university's electronic system the current, on file, transcript of record at ASU of all Transfer Student Applicants once they have been admitted to ASU. These will be automatically reviewed as part of all complete applications after the application deadline. Therefore the current/latest full semester grade report will be considered for the application in addition to any previous transcripts on file with ASU.}

Applicants must submit the email addresses of two faculty instructors from classes they have taken at a college or university from whom they are requesting letters of recommendation. These letters of recommendation must be submitted by the application deadline in order for the application to be complete.
