Elon University: What two-year residence and transfer-student rules does Elon publish?
DIRECT ANSWER
Residence Life must review individual exceptions; this guide does not approve a release or validate a private lease. The transfer rule includes parent/guardian and nontraditional-age exceptions; other exemptions require Residence Life approval. Confirm how dual-enrollment credits or semesters count with Residence Life. Juniors and later years are the ordinary off-campus cohort, subject to individual status, releases, transfer rules, and nontraditional-student exceptions. The policy does not establish a numerical eligible-renter pool, demand, leases, or current inventory. Guidance checked October 17, 2026.
Elon publishes a two-year residence requirement and a separate transfer rule based on four prior semesters of full-time enrollment.
Before you decide
Send Residence Life your enrollment history and ask which requirement or exception applies, including how any dual enrollment is treated.
