Acceptance and application of Embry-Riddle courses by other institutions is in accordance with the policies of the individual institution. Selection of Extended Campus faculty is based on academic credentials and professional experience. Emphasis is given to aviation relevance and knowledge and understanding of current information and issues. Appointment and certification are determined in accordance with the criteria and standards followed throughout the University. Extended Campus classes are scheduled to accommodate the needs of adult students, most of whom participate on a part-time basis.
Terms are shorter than the standard semester but more class time is scheduled per week.
The same amount of classroom instruction is provided for each course as would be provided in a full semester. Classes may be scheduled in the early morning, during lunch periods, in the evening, or on a series of weekends. The length and starting and ending dates of terms vary by location. The Jack R. Hunt Library assists students, faculty, and staff of the Extended Campus with access to materials, to support their informational, instructional, and research needs. The library provides resident centers with aviation-related reserve book collections, periodical subscriptions, Aviation Tradescan Index subscriptions, and a videotape collection.
