First-year Applications

Candidates for admission may apply via the Elon University application, The Common Application or the Coalition for College platform. Each application is available at http://elon.edu/admissions.

First-year Application Procedures

First-year applicants must submit:

  1. Completed and signed application
  2. $60 application fee
  3. Official high school transcript
  4. Official ACT or SAT test scores
  5. Secondary School Report

 

The ACT or SAT should be taken late in the junior year or early fall of the senior year. In making admissions decisions, Elon will evaluate the highest math and evidence-based reading and writing scores from all test scores submitted. It is important to ensure that we receive all test scores that are available. TOEFL or IELTS scores will be used for students for whom English is not their first language and who have less than four years of English as their primary language of instruction at the secondary level. The Duolingo Test will also be considered.
