Other Policies
Inclement weather: The most accurate and up-to-date information about the status of classes and campus services during inclement weather can be found on the Today at Elon website. Students are encouraged to check the site frequently for updates, schedule changes, and closures. Students may also access important bulletins by calling the Elon severe weather hotline at (336) 278-SNOW (7669).
In addition, students may receive important severe weather-related messages via the E-Alert cell phone text messaging system. To ensure you are registered to receive text alerts, please add your cell phone number to your OnTrack account. Students, faculty and staff are also encouraged to sign up for the RAVE Guardian Safety app described in the E-alert section above to receive important safety notifications, including inclement weather.
Bicycles on Campus: According to the Elon University Student Handbook, bicycles may only be parked in areas designated for bicycles with bike racks. All bicycles must be registered with the Office of Campus Safety and Police. Bicycles found in any areas including but not limited to stairwells, railings, brick colonnades and gazebos will be confiscated, and a $5 fine and $10 monthly storage fee will be assessed.
For those who ride their bikes to the Francis Center, please leave them outside of the building and lock them in the bike rack located near the Memorial Fountain. There are no facilities or spaces inside the Center to accommodate bikes. If your bike is stolen, report the theft to Campus Safety & Police immediately. Also, if you have any questions or concerns, please call Campus Safety & Police at (336) 278-5555.
