Your summer plans? They start at Embry-Riddle.

Who says summer has to mean leaving campus? Get ahead on your degree, spend more time with friends and make the most of being in Daytona Beach, Florida. You can keep working toward graduation without missing out on everything summer has to offer.

When classes wrap up for the day, the beach is just minutes away. Catch the sunset with friends, spend a day at the Daytona Beach International Speedway or take a short road trip to Orlando’s theme parks, explore Florida’s state parks or visit the Kennedy Space Center. With plenty to do on and off campus, summer gives you more time to make plans, try something new and enjoy the place you call home during the school year.

Summer Term A: May 18 - June 28, 2027

Summer Term B: June 29 - August 9, 2027

Summer Term C: May 18 - August 9, 2027

Keep Your Degree Moving

Use the summer to check a course off your list, get ahead in your degree plan or stay on track for graduation. A few classes now can make a difference when you reach the finish line.

Keep More Money in Your Pocket

SGA fees typically start at $150 but are waived for summer courses, giving you another way to cut down on the cost of taking classes.

Earn While You Learn

Spend your summer working on campus and building experience along the way. Active summer student employees who take a minimum of six credits during Summer A, B or C are eligible for a $2-per-hour bonus incentive.

Begin College With a Head Start

For new students, summer can be a chance to get comfortable on campus before the fall semester begins. You'll join a smaller cohort, meet members of the Eagle community and start building the skills and connections that will support you throughout college.

  • Participate in academic success workshops and other programming.
  • Connect with a student coach, peer mentor or advisor.
  • Get familiar with campus and your new college experience before fall.

Summer 2027 Housing

Keep your classes, campus job, flight training and the rest of your Embry-Riddle experience close by living on campus. Summer housing makes it easier to stay connected to campus and focus on what you want to accomplish.

More information about 2027 summer housing options, rates, discounts and application deadlines will be available closer to the start of the summer term. Visit the Housing Rates page for more information.

Accelerate Your Flight Training

More time on campus can mean more time in the air. Staying through the summer gives flight students the chance to focus on training and make meaningful strides toward earning a Private Pilot License before the fall semester.

A focused approach to flight can help build proficiency while potentially reducing overall training time and cost.

Here's what summer flight training can offer:

  • Flight training activities nearly every day during the Summer B session through the start of fall classes
  • Daily, focused approach on flight can lead to savings and enhanced learning
  • The chance to make significant progress toward your Private Pilot License before the fall
  • More time to learn alongside your peers and flight instructors

Students who select this model must stay on campus between the end of the summer semester and the beginning of the fall semester.

Plan Ahead: Get Your Medical Certification

Before registering for a flight course, students must secure a First- or Second-Class Medical Certificate reflecting their full legal name.

The FAA website includes a list of Aviation Medical Examiners who can administer the required examination.

Because the certification process can take time, we strongly encourage you to get started as soon as possible after admission. Review current FAA requirements and work with an Aviation Medical Examiner to determine the appropriate steps for your individual circumstances.

Note: Registration priority is based on a number of factors, including major and citizenship status. Students will want to consider academic preparation, finances and other obligations and consult with an advisor and/or financial aid counselor to determine which plan works best for them.

Some exclusions apply. For more information, please read the Tuition Rates, Mandatory Fees, Housing and Food, Special Discounts section within the Student Financial Handbook in ERNIE.
