Welcome to ODU! New transfer students are required to meet with an advisor before registering for classes.  

We recommend that all new students attend Monarch Orientation, which provides information about everything you need to know about being an ODU student, such as campus resources, student activities, housing, dining, financial aid, parking and more, and includes an advising session and class registration.  All orientation sessions will be held virtually until further notice.

Transfer Students with fewer than 24 credit hours (0-23) completed are REQUIRED to attend Monarch Orientation; go to www.odu.edu/monarchorientation to register.  

We understand that schedules don't always allow a full day session, so for students transferring 24+ credit hours we offer condensed Transfer Advising Sessions, where we provide a brief overview of academic requirements, and students meet with an advisor and register for classes.   Transfer Advising Sessions will be held virtually via Zoom.
