Academic Resources
Library Resources
In Prescott’s Hazy Library and Daytona Beach’s Hunt Library, students have access to a wide array of books to enhance their learning and provide entertainment. Whether it be finding textbooks to borrow among the shelves or obtaining library assistance in locating an affordable option from an external store, Embry‑Riddle's librarians are willing and happy to help!
In addition to traditional library functions, students can request books to be ordered from other libraries, borrow technological resources, browse historical archives or use the online “Ask a Librarian” tool.
Center for Communication and Digital Media
In Daytona Beach, the Center for Communication and Digital Media is located on the fourth floor of the Student Union, within the Hunt Library. Inside, students can gain access to web tools like Canva Pro or Adobe Photoshop, grow their digital literacy skills and learn the fundamentals of layout and design through supplemental instruction.
Through learning basic graphic design and formatting techniques, students can be assured that their presentations and projects are both academically sound and aesthetically pleasing.
Academic Advancement and Tutoring Centers
In the Academic Advancement Center on the Daytona Beach Campus and the Tutoring Center on the Prescott Campus, students have access to free peer tutoring for any of the general education courses that are typically taken in their first two years on campus. Within the Academic Advancement Center, there are five specialized tutoring labs, each dedicated to specific subjects, which provide a space for both independent and collaborative learning.
For those needing additional academic support, supplemental instruction is available for foundational math, physics, chemistry and biology courses. Students who learn online at Embry‑Riddle have access to virtual tutoring opportunities through tutor.com.
Career Services
Resume Guidance
In addition to checking out the online guide on resumes and CVs provided by Career Services, students also have the option to visit Career Services in person on either residential campus or online through Worldwide, where they can review and edit their resume with the input of professionals who are dedicated to ensuring career success after graduation.
Interview Prep
While Career Services does provide an online guide for interview preparation, students can also connect with staff in person or online to talk through interview scenarios, figure out what to wear and gain even more valuable insight.
Embry‑Riddle also provides access to Big Interview, an AI-based interview system where users can practice answering interview questions and receive feedback about the quality of their answers, body language and eye contact. Students can access Big Interview in Handshake and in ERNIE via Tools.
Career Expos and Networking
Career Services at Embry‑Riddle hosts two Career Expos per academic year, one in the fall and one in the spring. At each Career Expo, students have access to industry professionals who attend with the intention of recruiting new employees to their organization, and typically 30% of attending recruiters are Embry‑Riddle alumni.
Career Expos provide opportunities for students to connect with professionals in their dream roles, potentially interview on the spot and learn more about career and internship opportunities. Career Services also provides networking events during each semester, workshops on how to prepare for expos and tips on networking in person and virtually.
Mental Health Resources
Counseling Center
On the Daytona Beach and Prescott campuses, students have access to the Counseling Centers, which are dedicated to promoting and enhancing the emotional well-being of students. The Counseling Centers can provide resources and support regarding interpersonal conflict, coping mechanisms, mental health struggles and more.
Counseling sessions are confidential, and the Counseling Centers strive to provide a safe, comfortable and supportive environment for students to decompress and discuss any challenges they may be experiencing.
TELUS Health
For students who prefer virtual connection, TELUS Health is a free-to-use app for all Embry‑Riddle students, where they can receive 24/7 confidential mental health support and guidance. The app allows students to connect with Student Support Advisors, who are experienced in providing support for the challenges college students may face.
Center for Faith and Spirituality
The Center for Faith and Spirituality on the Daytona Beach Campus and the Fred & Fay Haas Interfaith Chapel on the Prescott Campus both aim to provide a safe and accepting environment for students who prefer support centered around their religious beliefs.
Students can get involved with religion-based organizations, seek support from those with a similar cultural or religious background and get involved in giving back to the community through various initiatives. The Center for Faith and Spirituality and the Fred & Fay Haas Interfaith Chapel work to foster a respectful interfaith dialogue among those who choose to participate, which enhances cultural awareness and understanding on campus.
Remember – physical and mental health go hand in hand with academic success.
Embry‑Riddle recognizes the importance of supplying students with valuable on- and off-campus resources. An Embry‑Riddle education, partnered with the use of available resources, can ensure that each student succeeds in achieving their goals while maintaining a happy, healthy lifestyle.
