Application overview

How to apply

Step 1

Mind the deadlines

Prospective students should be mindful of deadlines and work to ensure that a complete Barrett application is on file by the appropriate date.

Students who submit an application in time for a particular deadline will receive a short grace period for missing letters of recommendation to be received.

Step 2

Submit your Barrett application

The Barrett application does not need to be completed in one sitting. After starting the application, a student may re-access it via the “Apply now” button or though the Barrett Application Status area of their My ASU page.

The Barrett application is not designed for a cell phone. For the best experience, use the most current version of your internet browser.

Step 3

Track your Barrett application

After submission, candidates may monitor the status of their application through the Barrett Application Status area of their My ASU webpage. This includes checking the standing of their recommendation letters, sending reminder emails to their recommenders, and even replacing non-responsive letter writers. The Barrett decision letter also posts to this section.

Step 4

Confirm your spot

Admitted students should closely review their Barrett admission letter for next steps. Upper Level and Barrett Online students must register for the required HON 370 The History of Ideas course to confirm Barrett enrollment. The deadline to do so varies based on Spring or Fall entry.
