I want to visit Elon! Which event is for me?

Spring is coming! The best way to learn more about Elon and get a sense of our campus community is to visit. Whether you are a junior beginning your college search, an admitted senior still making a decision, or have paid your deposit and plan on coming next fall, there are lots of choices! We hope you’ll join us on campus this spring – we’d love to see you!

Traditional Campus Visit (Information Session & Tour)

  • When: Monday-Friday (morning and afternoon times available), most Saturdays (9am, 10am, 11am)
  • Who: All are welcome!
  • What: A 30 minute information session with an admission counselor, followed by a  student-led tour of the main portions of campus. Families also have the option of taking a self-guided driving tour afterwards to see other parts of campus not included in the campus visit. Families unable to register for a tour are welcome to take a self-guided walking tour of campus and utilize our admissions counselor on duty to answer any questions they may have. If participating in this visit option, please plan your visit to Elon to last 2 hours. Seniors (only) also have the option of sitting in on a class. (Note: class visits must be arranged at least 2 weeks prior to coming to campus.)
  • How: Families are urged to register for their campus visit prior to coming to campus. March and April are our busiest months and campus visits will almost certainly fill up.  You can schedule a campus visit here: http://www.elon.edu/e-web/admissions/visit.xhtml.
