International Student Information This information is provided to assist you with your initial entry into the US. Please read carefully. After receiving your I-20 for F-1 students or DS-2019 for J-1s, check over the details to be sure everything is correct. If you find errors, please contact Andy Fraher at [email protected] or Debi Parris at [email protected]. If a corrected copy is needed, we will send it to you as soon as possible. If this is your first time coming to the US in F-1 or J-1 status, you will need to pay the SEVIS I-901 fee, see http://studyinthestates.dhs.gov/students/sevis-i-901-fee and https://www.fmjfee.com/i901fee/index.jsp. Next, schedule an appointment with the nearest US Embassy or Consulate to obtain your F-1 or J-1 visa http://www.usembassy.gov/. You may want to prepare by visiting http://travel.state.gov/ content/visas/english/study-exchange/student.html. Once your visa has been issued let us know at [email protected]. When you have made travel arrangements to the US, please forward your itinerary by email to deborah.parris@erau. edu. You are allowed to enter the US up to 30 days from the program start date, but not earlier. Be sure to keep the following documents in your carry-on bag for easy access upon your arrival in the US: • Unexpired passport, valid at least 6 months beyond the date of your entry • Valid F-1 or J-1 visa (unless you are a Canadian citizen) • Receipt from I-901/SEVIS fee payment • Financial support documents used to obtain your visa • I-20 (F-1) or DS-2019 (J-1) (make sure you have signed the form at item # 11 on front page) Upon arrival in the US, you should proceed to the inspections area where you will present the documents listed above. At the primary inspection, you will have a brief interview by an immigration inspector who will also examine your documents. You may be asked the purpose of your visit to the US; be sure to tell the inspecting officer that you will be a student and have the school’s address available. They may also collect biometric data from you including a photograph and digital fingerprint. It is possible you will be asked to go to secondary inspection to verify information in more detail. If this happens to you, please remember to be patient, as this is a normal part of the entry process. If you have difficulty entering, you may ask the inspecting officer to contact an international student advisor at the school. Have them call the Safety Office at 928-777-3333, and they will contact us. It is a good idea to plan sufficient time for connection flights or airport pick-ups to accommodate a possible secondary inspection.

ARRIVING IN PHOENIX If you are travelling to Prescott through Phoenix, you will arrive at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. There is a shuttle service that runs between Phoenix and Prescott (see Local Area Information on page 10). It is recommended that you purchase a “door-to-door” service so the shuttle can drop you directly at the Embry-Riddle campus. Ask to be dropped at Haas Commons.

ON CAMPUS When you arrive on campus, go to the Housing & Residence Life Office located in Haas Commons (Building 73) to check in to your residence hall. Once you have submitted all immunization records to the Wellness Center, you will be able to check in to your room. You may begin moving in to your campus residence on Sunday, August 16 from 8:00am to 8:00pm. If you are arriving outside this time frame, please contact Debi Parris at [email protected] to make arrangements in advance. If you arrive earlier, you should make plans to stay in a local hotel. Be aware that you must have all records of immunizations on file to be allowed to check in to housing. If the Wellness Center does not have your immunization records, your check-in will be delayed. Be sure to submit them in advance and bring copies of all your immunization records! 3

Registration Instructions UNDERGRADUATE (BACHELOR’S PROGRAMS) Registration instructions are located in ERNIE under the Student Services tab. Look for the registration guide under the header for your college. Once registered, your academic advisor will review your schedule and verify you are in the correct classes. Upon approval, a hold will be placed on your account which will block further changes to your schedule. If you require any schedule changes after this hold is placed, contact your academic advisor for assistance. If you are accepted conditionally, please contact your academic advisor to register. If you plan to fly and you are not already registered for your flight courses, please contact Scott Ritchie at (928) 777-3898 or [email protected]. If you are transferring from another institution and we have not received your official transcript, you will not be awarded official credit and will not be able to enroll in subsequent courses. Because we do not receive AP score reports until July, your anticipated credit will not be factored into your intital class schedule. An official evaluation will be completed once we receive your official transcript and/or score report; credit will be awarded, and you will be able to move to the appropriate class(es). Please note: if you have been admitted provisionally, you will not be able to register for classes until we have received evidence that you have met your provision.

Pre-Flight Checklist for Flight or UAS Students All students intending to pursue flight training at Embry-Riddle should carefully review the following information. Failure to comply with pre-flight requirements will delay the start of your flight training. Students planning to complete the UAS major or minor need proof of citizenship only. The following are required to be presented at New Student Orientation prior to the start of classes:

1. Proof of U.S. citizenship (non-U.S. citizens please see information on pg. 7) The Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA) requires that all U.S. citizens taking flight training must show proof of U.S. citizenship. These requirements must be met prior to the start of any flight training. Proof of U.S. citizenship may be presented by submitting one of the following original documents. Please provide only original documents. Photocopies, even certified copies, are not acceptable. If using other than a valid passport, a current government issued photo identification document will also be required. • A valid, unexpired U.S. passport • An original birth certificate documenting birth in the United States or one of its territories* • An original U.S. naturalization certificate with raised seal, Form N-550 or Form N-570 • An original certification of birth abroad, Form FS-545, Form DS-1350, Form FS-240 –OR– An original certificate of U.S. citizenship, Form N-560 or Form N-561 * 49CFR Part 1552 states “the individuals original or government issue certified U.S. American Samoa, or Swains Island birth certificate, together with a government-issued picture identification of the individual.” Please do not mail original documents; bring the original documents to orientation in person. Students will not be allowed to start their flight training until this documentation is submitted. There are no exceptions to this regulation. Flight students may contact Flight Records with questions, Building F-6, 928-777-4327.UAS students may contact the Records Office with questions, Building 12, 928-777-3808.

2. FAA Medical Certificate (required for ALL flight students) All students planning to begin flight training at Embry-Riddle are required to hold a current First or Second Class Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) medical certificate. Aviation Medical Examiners (AMEs) are designated by the FAA to issue these certificates, following completion of an application and a physical examination. AMEs can be found in most U.S. cities and in major cities abroad. A directory is located at the FAA Web site, http://www.faa.gov/pilots/amelocator/. Please be aware that past medical and/or legal problems, including drug- and alcohol-related convictions, could result in you being denied a medical certificate even if you feel you are in good health. All previous medical and legal issues should be evaluated before you begin your education for an aviation-related career; if they are not, delays are common. You will not be allowed to enroll in flight laboratories without a FAA medical certificate. Therefore, to avoid delays, we advise you to obtain your medical certificate before coming to Embry-Riddle. For students coming from countries outside of the United States, please contact the Airman Certification Coordinator at the Flight Department prior to obtaining a medical certificate. In some cases, medical certificates may not be valid. If you have significant medical and/or legal problems, be sure to bring copies of medical and/or court records for your FAA medical examiner to review.

6

Both the government and the aerospace industry consider drug- and alcohol-related convictions (yes—paying a fine is a conviction) a serious problem. Medical and behavioral standards for professional pilots and air traffic controllers are among the highest in our society. Mistakes, poor judgment, and other “indiscretions of youth” can have lasting consequences for your career. Prevention through responsible behavior is key.

3. Student Pilot Certificate (FA 121 Flight Students) In addition to the FAA Medical Certificate described above, students enrolling in FA 121 are required to obtain a Student Pilot Certificate prior to enrollment. The Student Pilot Certificate should be obtained from the Aviation Medical Examiner at the same time as the FAA Medical Certificate. During the application process for the FAA Medical Certificate, applicants must indicate the desire to obtain a Student Pilot Certificate at the same time. Please consult with your Aviation Medical Examiner for further information. In addition to an Aviation Medical Examiner, a Designated Pilot Examiner or your local FAA Flight Standards District Office may issue a Student Pilot Certificate. Local Designated Pilot Examiners may be found at http://av-info.faa.gov/DesigneeSearch.asp or visit http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/ field_offices/fsdo/ to locate your local Flight Standards District Office.

4. Certificates or Flight Ratings Earned Before Enrolling at Embry-Riddle Original certificates must be presented in the Records Office for possible advanced standing credit. Copies can be sent to Admissions prior to enrollment for unofficial transfer credit evaluation.

INFORMATION ABOUT FLIGHT TRAINING FOR NON-U.S. CITIZENS Non-U.S. citizens unable to provide proof of U.S. citizenship as noted in item 1 above must comply with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) notification requirements. All non-U.S. citizens must register with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) online. The students are required to submit a training application, fingerprints, a valid passport and student visa along with a processing fee to the TSA. The students can register for flight courses and begin flight training as soon as the TSA approves the training request. Some advanced flight courses may require a waiting period of up to 30 days. If Embry-Riddle receives any directive from the DHS or the TSA, the student may be administratively withdrawn. This information and fee, but not the fingerprints, must be sent prior to starting additional specific flight courses and will be managed through Embry-Riddle’s Airman Certification Coordinator at the Flight Training Center. Questions or need help? Contact the Airman Certification Coordinator at 928-777-4327.

COST OF FLIGHT TRAINING Flight costs are not covered by your tuition payments. For detailed information on flight costs per year and per course, visit prescott.erau.edu/admissions/estimated-costs/index.html. Subject to change.

DRUG-TESTING PROGRAM In the effort to maintain a work and educational environment that is safe for its employees and students, the University has established a mandatory flight student drug-testing program. Success in the aviation industry requires a commitment to excel and the discipline to avoid unsafe practices. The use of illegal drugs constitutes an unsafe practice and is incompatible with an aviation environment. All students entering the flight training program are subject to random and post-accident drug testing in accordance with the policy outlined in the Undergraduate Catalog prescott.erau.edu/ degrees/catalog. The University reserves the right to immediately suspend or dismiss any student who uses or possesses illegal drugs.

Important Reminders ON CAMPUS HOUSING

Housing information, including floor plans, rates, and meal plan options, can be found on the University website at prescott.erau.edu/campus-life/housing. To apply for housing, submit the $300 security deposit online at erau.edu/deposit and complete the application through www.ErauHousingApp.com. You will login using your ERNIE account ID and password. Both your deposit and application must be submitted for you to secure on-campus housing. When room assignments have been made, a confirmation of your assignment will be emailed to you. Be sure to read the housing terms and conditions. For help, contact Housing and Residence Life at [email protected] or 928-777-3744.

FINANCIAL AID

If you have filed your 2015-2016 FAFSA and have not received a confirmation of financial aid awarded to you, please contact the Financial Aid Office as soon as possible. All aid awarded to you should be confirmed before your arrival on campus. The Financial Aid Office can be reached by calling 1-800-888-ERAU, extension 3765 or fax 928-777-3893.

COSTS AND PAYMENTS FOR 2015-2016 ACADEMIC YEAR

Refer to the 2015–2016 Financial Handbook, available online later this summer at prescott.erau.edu/go/ financialhandbook for information regarding tuition, flight, housing, meal plan costs and fees. REMEMBER – Payment in full for direct University costs, including tuition and fees, is due by August 14, 2015. You must be registered for classes in order for a bill to be generated. Students’ class schedules are activated upon receipt of payment or enrollment in a payment plan. All credit card charges paid on your student account (tuition, housing, meal plans, parking, fines and fees) and flight payments made through the Education and Training Administration (ETA) system will incur a 2.75% processing fee.

MANDATORY HEALTH INSURANCE

Embry-Riddle requires all students to have health insurance. To help fulfill this requirement the University offers a basic insurance plan that is underwritten by United Healthcare. The plan is offered at a greatly reduced premium and is renewable on an annual basis. Enrollment is automatic. Students who already have private coverage that is comparable to the plan that the University offers may be allowed to waive out of the university sponsored plan. You must complete the waiver in order to avoid this charge to your student account. Additional information regarding the plan highlights and instructions for those who wish to waive out will be forthcoming from United Healthcare. For more information please contact the Wellness Center, 928-777-6653. International students are required to carry the University’s insurance plan unless waived by demonstrating comparable coverage through Debi Parris in the CIPS office. This process will take place during orientation.

IMMUNIZATIONS

A Medical Report Form is required and has been enclosed with this booklet; also found at prescott.erau.edu/campusservices/wellness/medical-forms. All students born after Dec. 31, 1956 must provide proof of two doses of MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella) administered on or after January 1, 1968 and on or after their first birthday. All students who reside in University housing must either document the immunizations for Hepatitis B and Meningococcal Meningitis OR sign a waiver declining vaccination. Vaccines are given at the Wellness Center. Immunization records and the Medical Report Form must be on file in the Wellness Center prior to August 14 to avoid registration hold, housing check-in hold, Eagle Card hold, inability to pay bill and other holds.

DISABILITY SUPPORT SERVICES

The Disability Support Services (DSS) Office provides services to qualified students with disabilities. Prospective students are strongly encouraged to contact the DSS Office at least two months in advance. For disabilities that require accommodations related to housing on campus, incoming students should contact DSS at least four months prior to their expected term start date. Please see the DSS web site for additional information including policies and procedures. Contact the DSS office directly by email or phone: [email protected] or 928-777-6750.

A MESSAGE FROM CAREER SERVICES

The annual Industry/Career Expo is October 1 — a mere six weeks after the fall term begins. This is an opportunity for students to meet and talk with employers about jobs and internships. All freshmen are encouraged to visit Expo and begin building both their confidence and network of professional contacts by talking to recruiters or even just observing upper classmen. To that end, you should bring with you to campus business casual clothing, appropriate for a business setting. For men, this can be khakis, polo shirt and non-athletic shoes, or dress slacks, button-down long-sleeved shirt and dress shoes. For women, dress slacks and blouse with sleeves, simple skirt or modest dress (length to the knee or directly above) and cardigan or jacket. Blazers for both are a great addition, depending on the weather. Mini- skirts, short party dresses, revealing clothing, athletic attire, shorts, flip flops, and the like are not appropriate, and students wearing these items will not be admitted to Expo. Students should plan on adding a suit to his or her wardrobe no later than junior year when interviewing for internships begins in earnest (if not sooner). We have found that students often have difficulty coming up with professional clothing at the last moment, so we’re asking parents to keep this need in mind. You will need a suit: to make a good first impression, to give you the confidence that comes from knowing you‘re appropriately dressed, to position yourself for success. It’s important to look the part!

COMPUTER RECOMMENDATIONS

Many students are planning to purchase a computer and have been asking us for recommendations on what is needed. You are encouraged to use a computer system that meets or exceeds the recommended hardware and software specifications below: • 2.5gHz processor (Equivalent processor speeds may vary by manufacturer and chipset) • 4GB RAM or higher • 250GB Hard drive • 512Mb Video Card Memory • DVD writable drive • 100baseT Ethernet connection • 802.11 b/g/n WiFi Network interface card • Current version of Windows (upgrades are available through your ERNIE account) These are the recommended basics for use on campus. If your computing needs surpass these recommendations you can get faster or larger processors and hard drives. 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 [email protected].

GET CONNECTED

New undergraduate students can start meeting future classmates through the Embry-Riddle - Prescott Facebook app. You can link to the app and join the Embry-Riddle community at prescottapp.erau.edu. See upcoming campus events on the Embry-Riddle Control Tower page at TheControlTower.erau.edu. 9

New Student Orientation (undergraduate) Your college experience is about to begin! Orientation is your first opportunity to become a part of the campus community, meet your future classmates and colleagues, and create friendships and lifelong connections. You’ll want to take these few days to get settled in and take care of business, but most of all, expect a memorable time while you enjoy social and educational activities we have specifically designed for you. New student check-in will begin at 8:00am on Wednesday, August 19. This day is designated as your day to get moved in to your residence hall. Check-in continues on Thursday, August 20 and students will have time to complete checklist items: register your vehicle, pick up your mailbox key, buy your books, clear TSA requirements for flight, etc. The remaining days are packed with programs and activities to both educate you on your academic program and campus policies, and most importantly, to help you begin building social ties within the student community. We’ve got some exciting events planned that you won’t want to miss!

PASSPORT PROGRAM

The Passport to ERAU program is designed to welcome you and aid in your transition to college life at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Students receive their passport during orientation and over the course of six weeks have various opportunities to earn “stamps” before resubmitting the booklet. Through the program, you can participate in fun cocurricular events, engage with your fellow passport members, and become familiar with valuable resources on campus. The idea is simple. Participate in and/or visit multiple destinations during the program, collect stamps (stickers) at each destination, and you will have the opportunity to win valuable prizes! The more you complete...the better the prize—with the grand prize being a free semester of on-campus housing!

STUDENT ORIENTATION LEADERS

A team of current student leaders will be on campus during orientation to help guide you through orientation and your first week at Embry-Riddle. New students will be placed together in groups led by an orientation leader. These groups will get together throughout the weekend so that students can meet new people, get questions answered, and have fun.

PARENT ORIENTATION

Parents are invited and encouraged to attend orientation with their student on Wednesday, August 19 through Friday, August 21. Special programming led by our Dean of Students will also address specific concerns that parents have as they send their students away from home for the first time. They’ll also have the opportunity to meet with many of the staff and faculty. Parent programming ends on Friday, and parents are encouraged to leave or do some Arizona sightseeing on their own for the remainder of the weekend so that students can start adjusting to their new home and building friendships. Parents are also encouraged to join the Prescott Parents Association (prescott.erau.edu/parents) for ongoing communication. There is no cost to join. Members receive periodic emails about campus happenings and news, a discount at the campus bookstore, invitations to regional meetings and opportunities to be involved with the Parents Association.

Orientation Featured Speakers HOAN DO Hoan Do is a student success coach, author, and competitor in NBC’s hit show, American Ninja Warrior.

From an early age, Hoan was conscious of the sacrifices his parents had made in their escape to the United States during the Vietnam War- in pursuit of the American Dream. Feeling indebted to his parents for their courageous pursuit of a better life, Hoan vowed to ensure that one day, he would be able to take care of his parents. Hoan’s hard work took him to Malibu, California, where he attended Pepperdine University, fully engaging in the academic rigor and array of opportunities that the school offered. With the tremendous pressure Hoan placed on himself, in addition to the stresses of demanding classes, extracurricular responsibilities, and important life decisions, Hoan found himself overwhelmed. His self-esteem reached an all- time low. He even contemplated suicide. Refusing to settle and give up on life, Hoan used this experience as a turning point to learn the practical skills that was necessary to succeed in school and in life. After graduating from Pepperdine University, Hoan beat out candidates who were considerably older and vastly more experienced than him to work with the #1 personal development company in the world. As a national speaker and corporate trainer, Hoan conducted training sessions for distinguished audiences that included: 21, Bank of America, Honda, Toyota, UBS Financial, Chambers of Commerce, and the U.S. Army. Recognized as the best youth mentor by the International Examiner, Hoan travels across North America speaking at colleges, high schools, and associations sharing practical advice that helps students to succeed in school and in the real world. Hoan’s young enough to relate to students, yet old enough to provide life changing advice. His engaging style and ability to share important life lessons in a way that students resonate with has earned him the Verizon Wireless Motivator Award.

SAM KILLERMANN Sam Killermann is a comedian and social justice advocate, and the guy behind It’s Pronounced Metrosexual, a one-man comedy show and blog about snap judgments, identity, and oppression (but in a totally funny way). He travels the country performing the show at colleges and universities, and writes articles about social justice, gender, and sexuality when he’s not on the road. If you’ve ever seen the “Genderbread Person”, you’ve seen Sam’s work. Sam recently published his first book, A Guide to Gender, which is a full exploration of gender from a social justice perspective, with humor and comics sprinkled in. Gender is one of those things everyone thinks they understand, but most don’t really understand at all. Kind of like the usage of the word “irony” (isn’t that ironic?). He gave a well-received TEDx talk where he distilled a few hundred pages of gender-bending discourse into a few minutes of fun, energetic, and, with some luck, comprehensible speech. As a self-labeled “social justice comedian,” he spends a lot of his time trying to prove to people that this label makes sense. Sam is a dedicated ally and advocate, and blends humor into much of the work he does because he believes (like Mary Poppins believed) that sugar helps the medicine go down. Outside of It’s Pronounced Metrosexual, Sam runs a non-profit he founded called Gamers Against Bigotry, is co-creator of The Safe Zone Project, is always working on other social good projects, and likes to spend a least a couple hours a day cycling around sunny Austin, TX, where he counts himself as lucky to live. 13
