**We only require a counselor recommendation, not teacher recommendations as part of our evaluative freshman admissions process. We also do not conduct on campus interviews, but if you are visiting campus and would like to meet with your counselor, you are always invited to reach out. Don’t know your admissions counselor? It is based on the state where you attend school.
**Any student wishing to pursue a major in Acting, Dance Performance and Choreography, Music Theater, Music, Music Education, Music Performance, Music Technology, or Art (BFA) is required to submit an additional application, portfolio and come to campus for an interview/audition.
Still have questions? Direct them to your admissions counselor, email admissions@elon.edu or call 336-278-3566 or 800-844-8448. Can’t remember all of our deadlines? We have a previous blog post on that too!
