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:
- Completed and signed application
- $60 application fee
- Official high school transcript
- Secondary School Report
Beginning fall 2021, Elon will offer a test-optional admissions program. While submission of SAT or ACT tests are not required for admissions consideration, all matriculating students should submit a standardized test score prior to enrollment. TOEFL or IELTS scores and the Duolingo Test 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.
Note. Standardized tests are required for students seeking admission to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program.
Home schooled students must also submit standardized test scores for admission consideration.
