Admission decisions are based on an applicant’s academic credentials and proficiency in English. For an applicant who requires a student visa, the ability to finance his or her education at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is also considered. If a student is academically admissible to a degree program, the admissions committee then determines how academically strong the student is compared to other applicants.
No, it is not required for international students; however, it is highly recommended that all freshman applicants take the examination. High scores will enhance the student’s chance of admission. Also, an SAT or ACT score is required to be considered for the Embry-Riddle Scholarship Program.
All documents, including transcripts, letters of recommendation, test scores and financial affidavits, must be originals or notarized copies. In addition, notarized or attested English translations of foreign transcripts are required. Facsimiles (fax) or photocopies are not acceptable. Please note that all materials submitted become the property of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and cannot be reproduced, returned, or forwarded.
If you have attending high school or a university within the United States, official transcripts must be sent directly from the school to Embry-Riddle.
All International undergraduate and graduate applicants who have any educational experience outside the United States are required to provide an official course-by-course evaluation in English including the cumulative grade point average. Students with university credit are also required to have a course-by-course evaluation. Foreign credential evaluations are NOT needed for the following students: students who have attended an IB Program, students who have attended a high school with U.S. Regional Accreditation, students who have attended an American International School.
The report is considered official only if mailed from the agency directly to the ERAU. Embry-Riddle’s preferred foreign credential service is World Education Services (WES). A fee is charged for the evaluation service and must be paid by the applicant directly to the FCE.

In most cases the interview will be very brief. There are three important points considered: Do you have the academic base to prepare you for admission to the university? To demonstrate your academic ability, bring your transcripts, results from the SAT, projected marks, recommendation letters from teachers, if possible, and your acceptance letter. All of these will help assure that you are prepared. Are you able to pay the expenses of attending the university? It is advisable to have copies of the financial information you sent us, and any additional documentation that may prove you have the ability to pay for your education. If your parents are your sponsors, then bringing information and documents about their financial positions may be helpful. Do you have definite plans to return home when you graduate from Embry-Riddle? Ways to help prove this may include documents that show that your family owns property or a business. It may be helpful to think of career opportunities you hope to develop in your home country with the degree you will be earning. Try to remain calm during the interview, and listen and respond carefully to the questions the embassy official may ask. You may find that none of the above materials are necessary, but if asked, it is good to be able to supply them.
F-1 students holding a valid Embry-Riddle I-20 and enrolled in classes are eligible to work on the campus.
