Vice President for Student Life Jon Dooley offers this weekly message to help students stay informed and prepare for the week ahead.
As we enter the month of May, we gear up for finals, graduation and finishing out the spring semester. With that comes a range of emotions from happiness to stress. We also recognize that May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to prioritize mental well-being. Whether you are looking for someone to talk to or need help navigating new transitions, or academic resources to destress, we have the resources for you. Stay tuned throughout the month for mental health tips and information – and know that you can always find health and well-being resources at www.elon.edu/healtheu.

Reminder about upgrades to e-bill for payments to Elon
The launch of an upgraded bill payment system at Elon University is less than two weeks away. Student access to the e-bill payment platform will continue uninterrupted. However, current authorized users (i.e., anyone who makes tuition payments on your behalf) will be prompted to verify their existing account with a new password. Until they do so, those authorized users will be unable to access account histories or make future payments. Be sure to remind parents or anyone else who pays your bills of the upcoming change! Read the Today at Elon article for more information.
