The admissions process may be initiated online at www.embryriddle.edu/admissions or by contacting one of the Worldwide campuses, or the Worldwide Online office. International applicants, please see the International Applicants section below. Applicants who meet the admission criteria may apply for admission and concurrently enroll while their application for admission is being processed.
Undergraduate Admission
Applying From High School
Embry-Riddle consider all aspects of a student's qualifications and offer admission to the most competitive applicants in order to build a talented, diverse and interesting class. The following information is considered: the student’s academic performance in high school, the rigor of the high school academic program, SAT 1000 and/or ACT 21, 300-500 word essay, and school counselor or teacher recommendations.
The university expects all applicants, at a minimum, to have completed by high school graduation the following course work:
• Four years of English
• Three years of mathematics, including algebra I or applied math I & II, formal logic or geometry
• Two years of history or social science
• Two years of science in at least two different areas, with at least one lab experience.
Applicants age 20 and over who have not earned 12 college credits from an accredited degree-granting institution or from postsecondary education work or training experience such as military credit recommended
by the American Council on Education (ACE) must submit:
a) Official secondary school transcripts that show completion of high school or equivalent (GED).
b) Evidence of work experience since completion of high school.
Transfer Student Applicants
Embry-Riddle seeks transfer applicants who have shown success in their post-secondary academic work and who offer diverse backgrounds and personal experiences.
Students who graduated from high school and subsequently completed at least 12 semester hours of college credits at an accredited college or university (degree granting) are considered transfer applicants. Embry-Riddle considers each application for transfer admission individually, reviewing the student’s academic record, grades received in all college-level courses, completion of Fundamental Studies in English and mathematics, and the rigor of the student’s academic program. When an applicant has attended more than one institution, a cumulative average for all previous college work attempted will be computed. To be considered, course work must have been completed with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.00 on a 4.00 scale at an accredited degree granting college or university. Waivers to the above will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Students who have completed fewer than 12 semester hours of college credits will also have their high school academic records reviewed.
Former Embry-Riddle Students
A degree-seeking student whose attendance at the University is interrupted may be required to apply for readmission. In the scenarios described below, a new application for admission must be filed:
1. Enroll at another institution without advance written approval.
2. Failure to enroll in at least one course at Embry-Riddle in any two-year period from ending date of last course.
3. Academic suspension or dismissal from the University.
A written petition is required for consideration for readmission
Professional Development Students
Embry-Riddle recognizes the need for working adults who are interested in furthering their education through retraining or enhancement of professional skills. Students who meet admission requirements are permitted to enroll in courses as special students. Transcripts must be submitted to the University before the student is allowed to enroll in courses. Students in this status are limited to a total of 24 credit hours. Should a student subsequently apply for entry into a degree program, additional admission and all degree program requirements must be met.
Professional Development students must meet the same academic standards as degree-seeking students.
Graduate Admission
Applicants must have earned a baccalaureate degree with a CGPA of 2.5 or higher.
Applicants with an Undergraduate Degree and No Graduate Coursework
If earned in the United States, this degree must be from an accredited degree granting college or university. If earned outside the United States, the degree must be evaluated as equivalent. Applicants will be required to pay for the evaluation performed by an education evaluation organization specified by Embry-Riddle.
Applicants with a Masters degree or graduate credit must have at least a 3.0 CGPA.
Applicants with a Master’s Degree
Applicants who have earned a Masters degree from an accredited degree granting college or university must have an official transcript sent from the institution that conferred the degree. Transcripts from the institution that conferred the undergraduate degree will be required to verify that prerequisites have been met.
Applicants with Undergraduate Degree and Graduate Level Coursework
Applicants to a Masters degree program who have taken graduate coursework at another institution but not earned a Masters degree must provide official transcripts from the institution that conferred their undergraduate degree, as well as from the institution from which they took graduate coursework.

Matriculation
Matriculation occurs when a student has been officially accepted for admission and has enrolled in an Embry-Riddle course. The enrollment must occur either concurrent with the submission of the formal application for admission and fees, or within two years of the date of acceptance.
If a student reapplies for admission after a break in status, previous courses taken with the University will matriculate the student.
ERAU Student Email Account
ERAU issues both an e-mail and Embry-Riddle Network for Information Exchange (ERNIE) account to provide access to online services when an application for admission has been submitted. These accounts are made available to students via ERNIE at (ernie.erau.edu). Please check your ERAU email frequently, as the University will use this account as a means of sending official notification on University matters. Although the software used to send some of these communications automatically includes an “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of each message, do not unsubscribe since this will hinder the University’s ability to provide you with important information. Your ERAU email account will remain active up to two years after your last ERAU course.
