Returning Student Application Checklist (U.S. citizen or permanent resident)
A student whose attendance at the University is interrupted is required to apply for re-admission. You are considered a returning student if you have enrolled at another institution without prior written approval, fail to enroll in at least one Embry-Riddle course within a two calendar year period or have been suspended from the University. To be readmitted, students must submit the following:
Completed application for admission. You can apply online, or download the application and submit it by mail.
Transcripts. If a returning student has taken college level courses during this period, transcripts from those schools must be submitted to Embry-Riddle.
$50 non-refundable application fee. If you are applying online, you will be given the option to submit your application fee electronically. If you are submitting a paper application, include a check or money order made payable to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Please print your name and social security number on the check and submit it with your application.
Resume. Returning students are required to submit a resume with a complete history of academic and extra-curricular activities, including accomplishments, activities, awards, honors, employment and other achievements.
Letters of recommendation. Letters from your teachers, employers or a community leader can address areas of your background which are not always evident in your academic record. We suggest you submit two letters of recommendation. Forms are available for your convenience and you can download them here in PDF format. The forms are not required; letters of recommendation submitted by your references are acceptable.
Optional Information
Admission Essay. While an essay is not required for admission, it may help us to assess your qualifications. You may include an essay when you submit your application package.
