Apply for Dual Enrollment

Embry-Riddle offers two dual enrollment pathways for high school students. Select your program below — each has its own application process and requirements.

Aerospace Career Academy

The Aerospace Career Academy brings Embry-Riddle courses directly to your high school campus. Gaetz Aerospace Career Academy programs and courses are available in Florida and at select schools in California, Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio and South Carolina.

Program availability varies by school. See Participating Schools for details.

All new students (students who have not taken an ERAU class previously) must complete the online application. Follow these steps:

  • Click on High School Student.
  • Click on Start New Application.
  • Submit completed form for email address verification.
  • A verification email will be sent to address provided. If not received, please check your spam filters.
  • Click on verification link in the email to continue your application.
  • Complete form and click Submit.
  • You will receive a confirmation email.

Special care should be taken to enter information correctly as this will create the official ERAU student account. Applications are normally processed within a few days.

Once the application is processed at Embry-Riddle, you will receive an email that includes your student ID. You’ll need your student ID to set up your ERNIE account, where you can monitor your status. Follow these instructions to activate your ERNIE account and set up Duo two-factor authentication.

An automatic email will be sent to the high school for approval and another automatic email will be sent to the applicant’s Parent/Guardian for consent.

Log in to your ERNIE account and enroll in your course via MyACA during the registration period.

Returning students DO NOT have to reapply each semester. Students will log in to their ERNIE account and enroll in their courses via MyACA each semester during the registration period.

Instructors will supply their students with the correct Course Code and Section Number for the course. Visit Important Dates for registration dates and deadlines.
