Major Declaration

Major Declaration

All students enter Elon University as undeclared even if they have identified a major path. New transfer students may declare their major at the start of their time at Elon University. New first-year students must wait to declare their major until the end of their first semester on-campus.

Before declaring your major for the first time or updating your major(s) and minor(s), please review our Major Declaration FAQs. These can be found on the left-hand navigator.

New Advisors for Current ELN 1010 Students

New FY students declaring their major starting on November 18th or later will not receive a new advisor in their academic major until after the conclusion of their ELN 1010 course.
