Flight Instruction

Estimated average annual flight costs vary since no two students learn at the same rate. Embry-Riddle’s flight program is designed to allow students to earn their ratings in just three years (unlike many other schools). Flight students can estimate average annual costs for the first and second year at approximately $15,000 per year. The average cost for the third year of instruction is $10,000. More information on flight costs. 

The University uses a cash basis payment method pay-as-you-go (PAYG). Under the PAYG system the actual cost of services used will be calculated and paid for immediately following each flight, simulator, or oral training session.

The menu of payment methods available to you includes: credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover), or EAGLE CARD (Flight or EAGLE dollars). Also, if you have approved financial aid, you may use all aid in excess of tuition, fee, and room and board costs to pay for flight training until the aid is credited to your account. Once the aid is credited, any excess money will be refunded to you, or placed on your EAGLE CARD account for future flight training at your request.

Methods of payment:

The University accepts cash, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, and personal checks. Please make sure to include your student number on the checks to ensure proper credit to your account.

Online Payments

Accepted students (or their parents/families) who have no PIN can now make online payments by check or credit card here: Pay Online

Using a credit card, current and accepted students may also pay student bills online (with your Colleague ID and PIN) here: Pay Online . You'll receive your PIN during Orientation.

Payment Policy:

You will receive a preliminary bill and a Financial Agreement and Disclosure form prior to the term. The bill will list all payment due dates and deadlines. The Financial Agreement and Disclosure form should be returned to campus prior to your arrival. This form designates how you will be paying for each semester's charges. Any approved financial aid will be indicated on your invoice as estimated financial aid until it is actually credited to your account. This amount will be applied toward your balance of tuition and fees. Any balance not covered by your estimated financial aid is your responsibility and is due according to published payment deadlines. Note: Student Employment represents potential earnings and is not used to reduce tuition and fees.

Flex Payment Plan:

The Flex Tuition Payment Plan, administered by Sallie Mae Solutions, is a convenient alternative to lump-sum semester payments. As a plan participant, you make up to 12 equal monthly payments beginning February 1st for the following Fall/Spring term. You may use this plan to pay any amount (excluding flight costs and books) up to the total cost of education and may enroll at any time throughout the year. The earlier you enroll in this plan, the smaller your payments will be. You can design a plan that specifically meets your needs. A non-refundable $100 annual fee is applicable. Learn more here.
