Transfer - Undergraduate

Want to attend classes at a Distance Learning site?

Old Dominion University provides immediate admissions decisions to those who apply for undergraduate admission to attend programs at one of our Distance Learning sites in Virginia or outside Virginia. To apply for immediate, on-site transfer admission*:

1. Request that official transcripts from all previously attended colleges or universities be sent to your local ODU Site Director and confirm that they have been received.
2. Submit the following to your Site Director:
   • A completed, hard copy of the ODU application (online applications are not applicable to immediate decision process)
   • $40 application fee (paid by check or money order)
   • Resume
   • Two letters of recommendation (optional)
3. Schedule an appointment with your Site Director to review your application and receive your admissions decision.
   • If admitted to Old Dominion, your Site Director will also discuss your unofficial transcript evaluation and the curriculum sheet for your intended major. You will receive a letter from ODU's Admissions Office in Norfolk, Va., in approximately two weeks, along with an official transcript evaluation.
   • If denied admission to Old Dominion, the Site Director will work with you to chart a path toward future admissions success. Admissions denial is often a short-term slowdown, not a permanent block to admission at ODU.

* Please note, immediate admissions decisions at Distance Learning sites apply only to admission to the University. Select departments and programs have additional admissions criteria, with application decisions made by faculty independent of University admission. See your Site Director for assistance with this process.

Currently a student at a Virginia community college?

Old Dominion University and the Virginia Community College System (VCCS) have signed a guaranteed admission agreement that ensures a seamless transfer to Old Dominion for qualified VCCS students. The new agreement extends opportunities beyond the existing articulation agreements between ODU and Virginia's community colleges.

Under the agreement:

• State community college students who meet the university's requirements may apply for admission to Old Dominion after completing their first 15 hours of community college credits.
• ODU will guarantee the acceptance of all transferable credits earned by students who complete an associate degree and maintain a minimum 2.5 grade point average.
• Students must also have earned a grade of "C" or higher in each community college course applicable to the transfer-oriented associate degree program.
• Students who have been accepted by Old Dominion will have access to ODU departmental advisers while they are still enrolled in their community college and will be considered students of both the community college and ODU once they have successfully completed the guaranteed admission agreement process.

VCCS students should discuss transfer opportunities with the ODU Site Director at or nearest their local community college.
