Just for International Students

There are many resources available for international students who attend Elon. The Isabella Cannon Centre for International Studies provides many services for international students, such as:

• Transportation from the airport when international students arrive at Elon for the first time
• A special orientation (prior to the general orientation for incoming students)
• Monthly activities
• Host families for holidays (when the residence halls are closed)
• An international student handbook

There is also an international student adviser on campus who can help you make the transition to an American campus. If you have questions about services for international students at Elon, please e-mail Francois Masuka at fmasuka@elon.edu.
