Whether you are participating in a Summer Term, Winter Term, or Semester study-abroad program, it is important that you work with your Academic Advisor to make sure the courses you take abroad fit into your four-year plan.
Course selections for each Elon Centre are listed on the program brochure pages. The course registration questionnaire, available on your application homepage, should be submitted electronically. GEC staff will register you for your classes abroad based on your course registration questionnaire submission. You will not need to register through Ontrack. Students should speak to their advisor if they have any questions as to which courses to take on their Centre program to make sure they will be able to graduate on time. Students should also talk to their advisors about what courses they should take back on campus after they return from their semester abroad.
During a specified period, students will be able to drop and add most Centre-abroad courses. Registration drop/adds should be communicated to the GEC via the drop/add questionnaire in Elon Abroad during the drop/add period unless otherwise indicated to the students in the program materials. Do not drop your courses via Ontrack at any point prior to or during the drop/add process. All Centre abroad courses must meet minimum enrollment of six students in order to be offered.
If you have been approved to study abroad on the Elon Centre in London program, the GEC will register you for 16 hours of placeholder credit. Do not drop the placeholder via Ontrack.
You will need to meet with your Academic Advisor and the Associate Registrar to have your possible courses approved. The London course request packet includes the course-request form and instructions for filling out the form.
There are academic planning worksheets to help you. It is strongly suggested that you review the packet and then you must attend a London course planning session to learn more about the process. It is recommended to have more courses than you plan to register for approved by the Associate Registrar in case course availability changes while you are in country. Appointments with the Associate Registrar can be made by calling 336-278-6677 or stopping by Alamance 102. More information on the London course planning session can be found on the Orientation Calendar.
If you are unable to take the courses that were initially approved, you need to contact both the Associate Registrar and your Academic Advisor to discuss how your new course(s) may count at Elon.
Several programs require you to list the courses you intend to take in the program specific application. Therefore, you should begin the course request process as soon as possible. Course approval does not guarantee acceptance to a program.
If you have been approved to study abroad on an Affiliate or Exchange program, the GEC will register you for 16 hours of placeholder credit. Students participating in Summer terms abroad will be registered for the appropriate number of credits. Do not drop the placeholder via Ontrack.
