  Every Elon student is assigned an advisor, a university professor or administrator, who will work with students to plan, problem solve, and help explore interests and majors. Advisors are also a contact for getting information regarding programs, tutors, special needs, or just general information.

  Elon 101

  More than 97 percent of new students select this advising "class" of 16 students, one faculty/staff advisor, and one student advisor. This one-hour credit class is designed to help entering students get acquainted with life at Elon. Elon 101 meets weekly through the fall semester, and though classes vary depending on the interests of the group, it is informal and covers a broad range of topics designed to ease the transition from high school to college. Topics may include study styles, the ups and downs of roommates, and managing preregistration. Activities have ranged from cooking at the advisor’s home to goal setting and honor code discussions.
  
  *Students who do not request Elon 101 will be enrolled in an Elon 101 class for the advising/orientation activities that occur during Welcome Week. Students who later choose to drop the Elon 101 advising class have two options for advising described by Premajor Advising and Declaration of Major below.
  
  Premajor Advising
  Students may keep the Elon 101 advisor after officially dropping the class. This advisor will assist with preregistration and other concerns when the student schedules appointments.
