Welcome from the Division of Student Affairs

At Embry-Riddle, we understand and appreciate the vital role that parents play in the lives of their sons and daughters.  Whether you are the parent of a new traditional student, a returning student, or a transfer student we want you to know that we are here to serve and support the goals of you and your student. 

Our goal and that of the university is to provide a wide array of information, opportunities and the support you need to help your student complete his or her academic degree and develop professionally and socially. This process will take a team effort from the campus staff, faculty and YOU.

Please take time to familiarize yourself with the resources at your disposal. This guide introduces you to available campus organizations, clubs and services that are available to you and your student.  It will guide you to the offices that can best answer your questions and service your needs; i.e., Registrar’s Office, Bursar’s Office, Financial Aid, etc.  It is each student’s responsibility to know their Rights and Responsibilities as members of the Embry-Riddle Prescott community, as well as the basic Standards of Conduct. Students are encouraged to review the Standards of Conduct and Rights and Responsibilities online at erau.edu/pr. These are in place to ensure a safe and suportive campus for everyone to pursue their educational goals.

We hope your student’s activities during this academic year become part of a life-long learning experience that they will take with them and remember well into their professional lives and as alumni of Embry-Riddle.  Please encourage your student to take advantage of the many clubs, professional and academic organizations, community service and co-curricular opportunities to enhance a full college experience.  It is through associations with students of similar interests that lifelong friendships are born.  These activities will aid in their physical, spiritual, social, emotional and vocational growth.

On behalf of all of us at Embry-Riddle Prescott, welcome.   We look forward to participating in this wonderful new chapter in your student’s life!
