Hello, incoming Eagles. We are excited to welcome you to campus!
We are excited for your arrival to campus and the start of the Summer and Fall 2021 semesters! Be sure to continue to check your ERAU email address for notices about Orientation and move-in.

Your Orientation Team
Parent & Family Orientation Update
If you have yet not done so, we also encourage you to take a moment to sign up to be a member of the Prescott Parent & Family Association. This will give you additional access to an ongoing newsletter and other information designed specifically for parents and families.
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.
No matter how the final orientation program evolves, an enthusiastic team of current student leaders will be here to guide our new students through orientation and provide help and support, whether it be through on-line programs or small-group experiences. They are looking forward to welcoming you!
