Academic Message

An Elon student’s highest purpose is Academic Citizenship: giving first attention to learning and reflection, developing intellectually, connecting knowledge and experiences and upholding Elon’s honor codes.

Academic Support and Services

All Elon students are assigned an academic advisor. Academic advising is a form of teaching. Advisors provide accurate information to students in a mentoring environment, challenging them to reflect on interests, skills and aptitudes; to think critically about goals and objectives; to select courses and majors; to have a graduation plan and to consider career options.

Elon University's academic advising program is two-pronged. First-year students are advised through the Elon 101 program, where both faculty and professional staff serve as academic advisors. Once a student officially declares a major, a faculty member within that department partners with the student for academic advising. Advising is a shared responsibility between advisors and students. The ultimate responsibility for successful degree completion, however, rests with the student.

Both advisors and students may receive additional support through the Academic Advising Center. It is staffed with five professional advisors and is located on the first floor of Duke Building in Room 108. The center primarily serves students who have yet to declare a major. When appropriate, professional staff in the Advising Center supplements the extensive advising that occurs between faculty and their advisees. The center is open Monday through Friday, 8 am. -5 pm. The Advising Center, Disabilities Services, and Peer Tutoring are all part of Elon’s Academic Support Services, http://www.elon.edu/e-web/academics/support
