Visa Information
Non-U.S. citizens seeking admission to Elon must submit a Certificate of Financial Responsibility (CFR) when sending a US$500 enrollment deposit. An I-20, necessary to obtain your F-1 visa, will then be issued. Students must schedule an appointment with the consulate in their home country to be considered for a visa.

Advanced Credit
Elon offers students college credit for Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) programs on a course-by-course basis, depending on the level, subject and score achieved on the appropriate exam. We also recognize the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and the British "A" levels. Additionally, the French Baccalaureate, German Arbitur or Swiss Maturite may also be considered for credit. Advanced standing is not granted until students have been admitted and the official report of exam results is received and evaluated.
