If you were
not required to register for Selective Service, you may need to upload proof that you were exempt from Selective Service registration. You will be notified via
My ASU Financing Tasks if proof is required.
Situations that qualify for Selective Service Registration exemption includes:
- Males born before 1960.
- Students born female.
- Transgender males who were assigned the sex of female at birth.
- Males who were not yet 18 at the time the FAFSA was completed.
- Male noncitizens who first entered the U.S. after they turned 26 years old.
- Male noncitizens who entered the U.S. as a lawful nonimmigrant and remained in the U.S. on a nonimmigrant visa until after they turned 26 years old (i.e., held an F-1, F-2 or M-1 foreign student visa until age 26).
- Males currently in the armed services and on active duty. This exception does not apply to members of the Reserve and National Guard who are not on active duty.
- Male citizens of the Republic of Palau, the Republic of the Marshall Islands or the Federated States of Micronesia; however, a citizen or national of the Republic of the Marshall Islands or the Federated States of Micronesia who lives in the U.S. for more than one year for any reason except as a student or employee of the government of his homeland must register.
Other less common situations in which registration is not necessary:
- Males who are unable to register due to being hospitalized, incarcerated or institutionalized between ages 18 to 25.
- Males who are enrolled in any officer procurement program at The Citadel, North Georgia College and State University, Norwich University, Virginia Military Institute, Texas A&M University or Virginia Polytechnic and State University.
- Males who are commissioned Public Health Service officers on active duty or members of the Reserve of the Public Health Service on specified active duty.
