A Structured Start to College
Elon Launch is a 6-credit, 3-week residential transition program that gives incoming first-year Elon students an intentional head start on college life. Build academic, social and executive functioning skills while acclimating to the expectations of college-level work. While open to any student seeking a structured start, Elon Launch is intentionally designed to meet the needs of neurodiverse students, including those with ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, anxiety or executive functioning challenges.
Through academic coursework, a student success seminar and structured mentoring, you’ll engage in college classes, establish effective habits and develop meaningful connections with peers, faculty and campus resources. Complete one Elon Core Curriculum course (PSY 1000, Introduction to Psychology – 4 credits) and a 2-credit Executive Functioning & Student Success Seminar while living on campus and participating in community activities that build confidence, belonging and readiness for the fall semester.
Live in a residence hall with peer mentors. Get to know other participants who are also in the Elon Class of 2030. Take one class in the morning and one in the afternoon. Enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner on campus. Participate in co-curricular and social activities.
