Welcome to the Bursar Department! This summary page will give you billing and payment information. To access all the functions our department provides, you should logon to ERNIE. Within this site you will be able to obtain financial information to assist you in your educational career at Embry-Riddle.

Tuition and Fees
Payment for tuition and fees is due the first day of class each semester. Payment of tuition and fees is strictly enforced. Please ensure that your student account is either paid, extended or waiting for a disbursement of financial aid by the close of business on the first day of class to have your schedule remain active. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University uses a balance forward system. Any unpaid charges will appear on subsequent bills as a previous balance. Just like your Master Card or VISA statement, charges will not be itemized a second time. Only new charges will be itemized. You are advised to keep all your billing statements.

Billing Statements
Make sure you have access to our online services through ERNIE at https://ernie.erau.edu. Once a statement is available for viewing you will receive notification by email to your ERAU email address and will be viewable in ERNIE under account statement. You may also sign up for ebill and give a third party (parent, grandparent) access to your statement. A notification that your statement is available for viewing can be sent to up to three email addresses each month and payment can be made through your checking/saving account or credit card. Click here to sign up for ebill.

Payment Deadline
All tuition and fees are due by the first day of class. However, the University will grant deferments from the following sources listed below:

Financial Aid: Upon receipt of your award notification and any requested documents, the Financial Aid Office will send you notification of award finalization and place a deferment on your account for the amount awarded.

Sponsorship: Any student whose tuition and fees are paid by a third party, (Foreign Embassy, U.S. Government, Trust Account, sponsor etc.), is considered a Sponsored student. Formal arrangements for Sponsor payments should be made with the Student Accounting Office located in Canaveral Hall Room 200 (386) 226-6280.

Veteran's education benefits: This deferment is obtained by contacting the Veteran's Affairs Office.

Installment Plan: Our Flexible Plan which is the Net.Pay Tuition Payment Plan administered by Sallie Mae Solutions, is a convenient alternative to lump-sum semester payments. You pay your tuition in easy monthly installments with no interest charges. By spreading your payments throughout the year, your costs will be much easier to budget. You may use this plan to pay any amount (excluding flight costs and books) up to the total cost of education. The earlier you sign up for the plan, the less your payment amounts each month will be. For more information, or help with payment amounts, contact the Bursar Department at (386) 226-6285 or by email at bursar@erau.edu. To speak with a Sallie Mae Net.Pay representative, call 1-800-239-4211.

Financial Aid Disbursements: The Financial Aid Office will send you notification once your award is finalized. Any approved financial aid will be indicated on your invoice as estimated financial aid until it is actually paid. This amount will be applied toward your balance of tuition and fees. Any balance not covered by your estimated financial aid is your responsibility and is due according to published payment deadlines. An estimated financial aid amount shown on the tuition and fee bill reflects pending awards to be applied to the student account for payment towards tuition and fees. Refunds for excess aid will be processed once payment of the award has been made. Effective July 1, 1995 - per Federal Regulations (12/01/94) we must refund excess Title IV funds (Student loans, PLUS loans, Pell grants, Perkins and SEOG) within 14 days from the date the credit balance occurs on the student account. Any charges incurred after this date will be the responsibility of the student. Students must be registered for 12 credit hours to be eligible for full financial assistance. For assistance contact your Embry-Riddle Financial Aid counselor at 800-94-EMBRY.
