Your Phoenix Flight Path

Your Elon journey is just beginning—and the Phoenix Flight Path is here to guide the way.

This resource was designed just for you: a first-year roadmap to help you settle in, make connections, and start strong. From Orientation through your first six weeks (and beyond), you’ll find reflection prompts, key dates, campus resources, and helpful tips to navigate your transition and thrive.

Your experience at Elon will be shaped by your choices, your community, and your growth. Let this guide support you as you explore, connect, and take flight.

You’ll receive your printed Flight Path during your first meeting with your Orientation Leader.

✈️ Your Flight Path Framework

The Phoenix Flight Path is more than a checklist—it’s a guide for your first-year journey, broken into three meaningful phases:

  • TAKEOFF: Establishing the Foundation
    Get oriented, discover your resources, and set your first goals. This phase helps you feel grounded and ready for the experience ahead.
  • NAVIGATION: Staying on Course
    Stay flexible, make adjustments, and keep moving toward your goals. Explore new opportunities while staying connected to your purpose.
  • LANDING: Reflecting and Evolving
    Celebrate your growth, reflect on lessons learned, and prepare for what’s next. A thoughtful landing leads to confident next steps.
