Study Away Advising
The GEC team is excited to work with you to plan your study away experience! We offer a number of different ways to access advising, and the best choice will depend on where you are in the process. If you’re not sure what’s right for you, chat with us using the icon on the bottom right, e-mail us at global@elon.edu, or call us at 336-278-6700.
Quick Questions
Quick Questions are held in the GEC, 3rd floor Global Commons, from 2-4 PM Monday, Wednesday & Thursday on days when class occurs. Advisors share responsibility for these sessions, so specific advisors may or may not be available. In order to be respectful of other students’ and advisors’ time, if you need to talk to a specific advisor or for more than 15 minutes, please make an appointment.
