As of Monday, Oct. 26, all of Embry-Riddle’s Daytona Beach Campus athletic teams will resume practice – with one exception.

One team will remain on a safety stand-down for the remainder of the fall 2021 semester because of multiple confirmed cases of Covid-19. In response, Embry-Riddle on Oct. 13 announced a seven-day safety stand-down for all teams. The university has deep-cleaned athletic facilities and reviewed protocols with Athletics leadership.

Embry-Riddle again reminds everyone to wear face coverings, stay six feet apart and have a wellness check every 24 hours.

In addition, if you are feeling ill, or suspect you may be sick, stay in your living quarters and notify Health Services.

Health Reminders 

  • If you live off-campus and you feel sick, or you have been in close contact with someone with Covid-19, do not come onto Embry-Riddle’s campuses. If you live on campus, stay in your residence hall room and contact Health Services.
  • If you are sick, quarantine. Do not show up for classes, work, clubs, or weekend events.
  • In case of difficulty breathing or chest pain, call 911.
  • Promptly report any concerning symptoms (i.e., fever, cough or congestion) to the health services or campus safety unit on your campus:

Daytona Beach Health Services         386-226-7917
Daytona Beach Campus Safety          386-226-SAFE (7233)

Safety Requirements

  • Everyone must have a wellness check every 24 hours before spending time at Embry-Riddle.
  • Face coverings are mandatory in all common areas, both indoors and outdoors.
  • Designated exercise areas are the only exception to this rule. Refer to the Daytona Beach Campus map of designated exercise areas.
  • Physical distancing (six feet apart) is also required at all times.
  • Wash your hands regularly and avoid touching your face.
  • Get your flu shot as early as possible.
  • Those selected to undergo mandatory diagnostic Covid-19 testing must self-quarantine if they are instructed to do so. (Note: Self-quarantine is generally not necessary for sentinel testing. Self-quarantine is required for rapid testing as well as screening and contact testing, which takes place on Thursdays. For Thursday testing, you will be asked to quarantine until Friday afternoon.)
  • Faculty are well-prepared to help students avoid falling behind academically due to Covid-19 or testing-related absences due to quarantine or isolation requirements.

Please review our Covid-19 information page and Frequently Asked Questions. 

Consequences for High-Risk Behavior

Any student engaging in high-risk behaviors that put the university community at risk may be in violation of student Honor Codes or Standards of Conduct.

Students who willfully violate Embry-Riddle rules will be subject to disciplinary action, potentially including immediate expulsion without a refund. For Daytona Beach Campus students, refer to the Honor Code, and in particular, the Failure to Comply section. For Prescott Campus students, the Standards of Conduct can be found here; the Failure to Comply section is on page 22. 

Any employee who refuses to comply should be reported to Human Resources, as outlined in the APPM. Faculty or staff who fail to wear a face covering, get a wellness check or Covid-19 test if instructed, or follow other university safety rules will be subject to disciplinary action.
