Student Remote-Only Accommodations Update
Students may be approved to take courses through remote-only instruction due to documented disabilities or health-related聽accommodations. These requests should be initiated by the student through the聽Office of Disabilities Resources.
While Elon鈥檚 primary model is in-person instruction, requests from students who require accommodations this fall due to COVID-19 will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
A special Modification Review Committee has been established to review these requests, considering the specific circumstances and needs of the individual students.
