Veteran Student Services helped me, tremendously, in my transition to civilian life. In addition to being a great resource to veterans like myself, VSS also gave me the opportunity to become a part of the student support staff. Being a VA work study helped me financially and gave me a quiet place to work and study.
Admission to Embry-Riddle
Embry-Riddle’s specialized focus on aviation, aerospace, engineering and technology offers career paths that are meaningful and in demand.
Four start terms each year offer flexibility in choosing when to begin your studies.
Whether you are a veteran, active service member, or military dependent interested in using VA Education Benefits, we work to make sure your transition is as smooth as possible, right from the beginning.
We’re test optional, so there’s no need to submit SAT or ACT scores along with your application for admission. If you’ve attended college after high school, we’ll need your official college transcripts.
If you’ve earned fewer than 30 college credits, we will need your official high school transcript as well.
Areas of study often compliment skills gained while serving and we’ll request a copy of your Joint Services Transcript in order to maximize transfer credit.
Reach out to us to help identify the right academic path for you.
Tip: Contact us to request a waiver code so that you don’t have to pay the $50 application fee.
Enrollment and Advisement
As you plan your transition to campus, we’ll be here to help every step of the way. From submitting appropriate forms to confirm eligibility, to certifying your enrollment, we’ll work to simplify the process for you.
You’ll have the option to register for your courses before you arrive on campus and after consulting with your academic advisor, or you can register for courses during Orientation.
Orientation takes place in the days immediately before the start of each term and is a great way to learn about the campus and connect with other students.
