Building Your Schedule

Your first class registration occurs during your small group virtual advising and registration meeting. Before that meeting, you must complete virtual pre-orientation, named Elon Bound. Access this through Acorn via Admissions. Shortly after Elon Bound is completed, you will be able to sign up for your small group virtual advising and registration sessions.

You must prepare for your small group advising meeting.

Complete these steps at least 24 hours before your small group virtual advising meeting!

  1. Download the Major Guidebook for any majors of interest.
  2. Complete the Worksheet in each guidebook to have prepared for your small group virtual advising meeting.
  3. Access the Course Lists. We provided you lists of good classes for new students to consider in their first semester. The lists include Elon Core Curriculum, Intro to Major, HealthEU, and other Self-Interest classes.
  4. Create a list of 8-10 classes of interest using the Major Guidebooks and Course Lists.
  5. Use our OnTrack Videos to plan these classes in OnTrack. We provide how to log in and several ways to search for classes in OnTrack.
  6. Review your class schedule for preregistered classes. These include, but are not limited to:
    1. ELN 1010: First-Year Advising Seminar (required); and,
    2. Either COR 1100: The Global Experience or ENG 1100: Writing – Argument & Inquiry (both are required but one is completed in fall and the other in spring)
