Class Visits

Experience learning, the Elon way.

Class visits are available during the fall and spring semesters for prospective students only. Reservations to attend a class must be made at least one week in advance.

Why visit an Elon class?

  • This is an opportunity to experience what makes Elon distinctive – our small class sizes, student-to-faculty ratio, and faculty mentorship.
  • Experiencing an Elon class is not about exploring your desired major, but rather a chance to see how you fit at Elon.

What do I need to know before attending class?

  • Schedule your class visit at least 5 days prior to class.
  • Introduce yourself to the professor.
  • Please stay for the entire class; do not leave in the middle of a discussion or faculty instruction.
