Academic Advising

Academic advising is a form of teaching. Advisors provide accurate information to students in a mentoring environment, challenging them to reflect on interests, skills and aptitudes; to think critically about goals and objectives; to select courses and majors; to have a graduation plan and to consider career options.

Elon University's academic advising program is faculty based. Professional staff in the Advising Center are a supplement to the extensive advising that occurs between faculty and their advisees.

The Advising Center is located on the first floor of Duke Building in room 108. The center is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM until 5:00 PM. Extended hours may be posted during preregistration and registration.

The center is also open additional hours during spring Orientation Weekends.
