All students who submit a survey will be automatically entered in a random drawing for one of five $100 VISA gift cards.

Elon University students are invited to take the National College Health Assessment (NCHA) by Oct. 15. 

The National College Health Assessment (NCHA), is a nationally recognized research survey sponsored by the American College Health Association (ACHA). Elon University is participating in the NCHA to assess student health behaviors in order to improve and enhance services and support for students. Student participation is essential to better understand and support the health and well-being of the campus community. The results will guide future initiatives and services related to student wellness at Elon.

Elon undergraduates aged 18 and older received an invitation to complete the National College Health Assessment (NCHA). Elon will receive aggregate data from our student participants, and all individual responses will remain confidential, with no identifying information shared. Participation is voluntary and confidential, and the survey takes 20 to 25 minutes to complete.

All students who submit a survey will be automatically entered in a random drawing for one of five $100 VISA gift cards.
