The Right Start Program is designed to assist students whose ACT or other test scores require developmental work to be successful at ASU. The program combines intrusive advising with enrollment in required developmental studies and UC 1022-Strategies for College Success. Specific aspects of the program follow:

• Beginning full-time freshman students with an ACT composite of 18 or less are required to participate in the Right Start Program. Students with other test scores who must take developmental courses are also required to participate in the Right Start Program.
• Other students admitted on a conditional basis may be required to participate in the Right Start Program.
• Students are expected to enroll in any needed developmental courses and Stategies for College Success during their first enrollment periods.
• Right Start participants are usually advised by their Strategies for College Success instructor, but may be assigned to another of their developmental studies instructors. Right Start advisors will advise students during their first two semesters at the university, although they may also meet with departmental advisors as well.
