College of Integrative Sciences and Arts New Student Welcome

Get ready to unleash your inner Beast at the CISA Fall Welcome! Join fellow first-year students for an afternoon of MrBeast-inspired games and high-energy team challenges during our signature CISA Games—compete, connect, and win awesome prizes. After the games, enjoy a celebratory dinner with new friends and CISA staff. Before heading out, you’ll receive your official gold Welcome shirt, just in time to represent CISA at the Sun Devil Welcome Assembly and InfernoFest at Mountain America Stadium. Let’s kick off your ASU journey with school spirit, fun, and unforgettable memories!

Clear bag policy will be enforced at Mountain America Stadium. Water is provided at the stadium.

Not based at Polytechnic campus? Best ways to travel to Poly that day:

Downtown Phoenix and Tempe students living off-campus 
Park in Lot 59 on the Tempe campus so your vehicle will be close to the stadium after Infernofest later that evening. Take the ASU Gold Shuttle, which leaves for the Polytechnic campus every 15 minutes and can be picked up at the University/Rural light rail stop station (on Tyler Street just west of Rural Road and just south of University Drive). A CISA representative will be at the light rail stop to meet you. [Walking directions from Lot 59 to the Rural Road/Tyler Street light rail stop.]

The last Gold Shuttle to get you to the assembly on time departs at 2:55 p.m. Plan to arrive at the stop 10 minutes prior to departure. Track the shuttle and learn more about the free ASU shuttles between campuses. A CISA rep will meet you at the bus stop and travel with you.
 
Off-campus students without transportation to the Tempe campus
Consider taking the light rail east from downtown Phoenix or west from east Tempe or Mesa to the University Drive/Rural Rd stop at Tempe campus. From this stop students can take the Gold Shuttle from Tempe to the Polytechnic campus. For light rail stops and times, visit https://www.valleymetro.org/maps-schedules/rail. Please plan to arrive 10 minutes prior to departure.
A CISA rep will meet you at the first Polytechnic stop (Lot 37, Innovation Way South) to help get you to the Student Union and Cooley Ballroom.
