On-Campus Housing Requirement
Embry‑Riddle Aeronautical University - Daytona Beach Campus has an On-Campus Housing Requirement for our students. This policy requires new students — all incoming first-year and transfer students under the age of 21 before September 1 — to reside in ERAU-managed housing (henceforth referred to as “HRL”) for two full academic years (fall and spring semesters). Students who start at ERAU in the Spring semester of their first academic year will count that Spring semester as meeting year one of the two-year requirement.
Once students complete their second year in housing, they will transition to non-required student status. Please note: Non-required students are not guaranteed on-campus housing, and it will only be available if space permits. Our office is available to assist in finding suitable off campus housing options.
Students can be exempt the On-Campus Housing Requirement if they meet one of the following exemption reasons:
- Student lives at an address within a 50-mile driving distance of the Daytona Beach campus:
- Student and guardian must have lived at the address for a full calendar year prior to starting classes at the University.
- Documentation establishing permanent residency at the address is required.
- Student is 21 years of age or older by September 1 of the required contract year:
- No documentation required after admission to ERAU.
Policy Exemption for Students with Prior On-Campus Housing Experience (effective for students starting in Spring 2026 or Fall 2026)
Embry‑Riddle Aeronautical University – Daytona Beach Campus recognizes that students transferring from other institutions may have already fulfilled housing requirements at their previous schools. To accommodate these students, we offer the following exemptions to the two-year on-campus housing requirement:
- One Year of On-Campus Housing at Another Institution: Students who have completed at least one full academic year (fall and spring semesters) of on-campus housing at an accredited institution will be required to live on-campus at ERAU for one additional academic year (fall and spring semesters) to satisfy the ERAU two-year housing requirement.
- Two Years of On-Campus Housing at Another Institution: Students who have completed at least two full academic years of on-campus housing at an accredited institution will be exempt from the ERAU two-year on-campus housing requirement.
To request an exemption, students must provide documentation of their prior on-campus housing experience, including verification of their enrollment and housing status for the required time at their previous institution. This exemption request should be submitted to the Housing and Residence Life Office before the start of the semester at ERAU that the student is trying to be exempt for.
Students who are granted an exemption will then be considered non-required for on-campus housing, meaning they will not be obligated to reside in ERAU-managed housing. Students who decide to reapply for housing after being granted an exemption will not be guaranteed a space with ERAU-managed housing.
Exemption requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and the final decision rests with the Housing and Residence Life Office.
Housing and Residence Life staff strive to support a positive living and learning environment through programs and events in the residence halls. Living on campus will keep you involved with the university and connected to new friends.
