Prescott New Student Info Guide - Spring 2024

PREPARING FOR EMBRY-RIDDLE

COMPUTER RECOMMENDATIONS It is not required that a student own a desktop or laptop in order to be successful at Embry-Riddle. There are plenty of on-campus resources for students including multiple computer labs as well as laptops available for checkout in the library. Junior and senior engineering students will be utilizing on-campus computer labs for engineering software tools that are beyond the typical college student budget. Most students still find it helpful to own their own device. If you are planning to purchase a computer, Embry-Riddle students can use their school email address at Dell and Apple online stores to receive student discounts on these purchases. Lastly, we offer a selection of free operating systems and Microsoft Office suites downloadable through ERNIE, so don’t pay for this software with your computer purchase.

Please contact IT if you have further questions or require technical support at 928.777.6990 or ITSupport@erau.edu .
