Students celebrating at the Prescott Campus Orientation Event

Orientation

Hello, incoming Eagles. We are excited to welcome you to campus! Be sure to continue to check your Embry-Riddle email address for notices about Orientation and move-in.

A New Student Information Guide providing a wealth of information for students and families to prepare for the upcoming semester, including registration instructions, will be mailed to students who have submitted a tuition deposit. We encourage all new Eagles and families to review this guide for all the other valuable information and resources it provides.

If you have housing or move-in questions, please contact Housing & Residence Life at prhouse@erau.edu or call 928-777-3744.

Fall Orientation 2025

Parent/Family Information

An optional in-person Parent/Family Orientation session will take place on move-in day, Aug. 20, from 3-5 p.m. This will include a parent/family-specific informational session and resource fair.

Convocation, the ceremony to celebrate the start of your students' academic journey at ERAU, is held on Friday, Aug. 22, at 9 a.m. PST. You are welcome to join us virtually to partake in this campus tradition by visiting https://vcloud.hudl.com/broadcast/embed/1124766.

Advising/Course Registration

If you have questions about course registration, your assigned academic advisor is your primary point of contact. You should have received a welcome email from your advisor containing information on how to book an appointment. If you are unsure who your advisor is, log in to ERNIE and click “My Advisors” on the left-hand side of your homepage. The Advising Department provides more than just registration support — our team offers strategic academic planning, monitors student progress, assists with course selections, connects students with campus resources, etc. While walk-ins are available during key times, students are encouraged to schedule appointments to ensure timely and personalized assistance.

Your Orientation Team

Student Orientation Leaders

Our team of current student leaders will be on campus during Orientation to help guide you through Orientation at Embry-Riddle. New students will be placed together in groups led by an Orientation Leader. These groups will get together so that students can meet new people, get questions answered and have fun. Students will be contacted by their Orientation Leaders no later than the Monday prior to move-in.
