Want to start your Elon experience before you arrive on campus?

First-Year Summer Experience (FSE) programs are designed to help incoming students feel confident and prepared as they enroll at Elon. The FSE programs embrace the university’s commitment to experiential learning, and use this guiding philosophy to help students develop self-awareness, enhance relationships, and define community in preparation for their Elon experience.

You will be able to access the registration system after you have paid your enrollment deposit and activated your Elon email account, which is required for registration.

Beginning in early March 2025, registration will be available until two weeks before each program or when each experience is full, whichever comes first. A deposit is acceptable for registrations up to June 6, and the remaining cost is due by June 20. Registrations after June 6th must be paid in full.

To inquire about program status or to ask general questions, contact New Student Programs (nsp@elon.edu) or phone (336-278-7000). For questions pertaining to a specific program we encourage you to reach out directly to the program facilitators.

Upon program acceptance, participants will receive further information directly from their respective program. Some need-based scholarships are available; contact the program facilitators for more information.
