Prescott New Student Information Guide - Fall 2024

PREPARING FOR EMBRY‑RIDDLE (CONTINUED)

REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS — UNDERGRADUATE

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 . IPAD REQUIREMENT FOR FLIGHT STUDENTS All flight students are required to have an Apple tablet for utilization of flight planning software during flight activities. The 10.5 in. or smaller iPads are recommended. VEHICLE REGISTRATION Register your vehicle — truck, car or motorcycle — online by going to prescott.erau.edu/about/security and clicking on the link to Online Parking Registration in the right-hand column. Vehicle registration for the 2024-2025 academic year opens mid-August; be sure you are registering for the correct year. Print your temporary permit at the end of the online transaction. Display it on your dashboard until you receive your permanent parking permit sticker in about 10 days. The sticker is mailed to you, so double check your mailing address during the transaction. The parking permit fee for the 2023-2024 school year is $160 for a vehicle and $80 for a motorcycle.

Course registration begins with reviewing your College Registration Guide found in ERNIE. Log into your ERNIE account, click on Departments, click on Academic Advising, click on Prescott campus, and then click on Registration Guides under the Prescott header. Choose the correct registration guide depending on which college you belong to. Read through the guide carefully, as it will cover what classes you need to register for, appropriate course directives in the case of transfer/AP/IB credit, as well as how to register for classes in your Student Services Center. If you are accepted conditionally, please contact your academic advisor to register. If you have been admitted provisionally, you will not be able to register until you have met the provision(s) of your admission. Non-College of Aviation students should check with their academic advisor before registering for any flight courses. All new or readmitted undergraduate students are encouraged to complete the ALEKS math assessment regardless of the level of math they will take at Embry‑Riddle. Students may be able to test out of a required course based on their ALEKS score. Click on ALEKS in your ERNIE Student Homepage ‘To Do List’, and click on the ALEKS link to access the math assessment. The link for ALEKS is also available in your ERNIE Tools.

Residential students may register only one car or truck and one motorcycle if they wish. Commuter students may register as many vehicles as they wish to operate on campus, but are required to pay the full fee for each. If you have a bicycle, you are required to register it as well, but the permit is free and does not expire. Vehicle registration charges will be added to your student account when you register your vehicle online. No cash or immediate payment is required. There is no grace period so be sure to purchase your permit prior to the start of the semester. ONLINE PRE-ORIENTATION GUIDE Complete our online orientation module to help prepare you for campus orientation and your transition to Embry‑Riddle. Learn about helpful resources and strategies for success. An email with a link to the module will be sent to you in July.

Regardless of how well you score on the assessment, you are encouraged to utilize the Prep and Learning Modules to sharpen your skills. See prescott.erau.edu/admissions/ applied-students/evaluations for more information on ALEKS. Contact your academic advisor if you have any questions about your ALEKS results. Courses are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so you are encouraged to register early. If you need assistance, the academic advisors are available Monday - Thursday, 7:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. MST (not MDT). You may call toll free 1.800.888.3728 or contact your academic advisor directly. Please see page 14 for contact information.
