In months to come I'm planning on preparing for my CCSP, something my school doesn't have hardware for. I understand this is going to get pricey, but I'm wondering what I might need to best prepare for the CCSP. Would an ASA 5505 work fine? Would I need more than one? Suggestions or recommendations? Thanks!

You could emulate ASA hardware using GNS3 and qemu for ASA related stuff.Take a look at the ASA Project at http://asa_project.gromnet.net/

Where might one be able to get IOS for the ASA? I can't imagine I can simply download from Cisco?

You can simply download it from Cisco if you have a CCO login / valid SMARTnet contract(s).

I'm just a student, I have passed my CCNA and currently working towards CCNP. I am registered on Cisco's website and when I log in it calls me a Registered Guest user. Is this sufficient to download IOS? I can't seem to find where to download from. Thanks for the help.

No, this is not sufficient, you have to have a service contract, a registered partnership, or CCIE. Otherwise, you will not be able to download the IOS from cisco website.

To answer your question you need to buy the ASA image or have access to an already purchased one...
