Elon University Home

Welcome to Elon! 

Welcome to Elon! As you make the adjustment to college life, we hope that you feel welcomed and valued in a community that supports your academic and extracurricular interests.  We aim to facilitate your transition to Elon beyond orientation and throughout your first year on campus.  

Elon recognizes the unique needs of new students and the importance of providing support throughout the transition to college.  This website serves as a starting point to help connect you with important Orientation information, Elon 101 resources such as the First Year Roadmap, an outline of the Gap Semester, and other information pertinent to your successful transition to Elon University.

Regards,

Katie A. Hight '07
