Future Panthers Could Receive up to $500 in Credit — Learn How!
Visit by June 15 to Earn $250 Visit Credit
How does it work? New prospective students who visit campus between May 1 and June 15, 2024 and submit their enrollment deposit for the 2024 fall term are eligible* to receive a $250 Visit Credit that will be applied to their fall 2024 ODU bill!
Deposit and Register for Orientation by June 1 to Enter Raffle for Bonus $250 Credit
How do I enter the Orientation raffle? Prospective students who submit their enrollment deposit by June 1 and register for summer orientation will be eligible* to be entered into a raffle drawing for a bonus $250 fall 2024 credit (this is separate from the Visit credit; so, if you visit campus, submit your enrollment deposit and register for orientation by June 1, you could potentially receive up to a $500 credit to be applied to your fall 2024 bill). Four winners will be announced for the drawing during summer orientation.
*Students who already have full charges covered by grants and scholarships are not eligible. Both the $250 visit credit and $250 orientation drawing credit are ONE TIME credits for the fall 2024 term only.
Can't wait to receive your admission decision?
We get it -- this is a big deal! We’ve heard from a lot of future Panthers like yourself who have applied to join the ODU community, so we appreciate your patience as we review your application. Once all of your materials have been submitted, you can expect an admission decision in just a few weeks. (That's our Panther Promise!)
We know you have questions. We have answers!
As a prospective student, you have an Admission Counselor to guide you through your admission process. Whether you are a first-time freshman, a transfer or returning student, or an international student, our amazing counselors are here to help you.
Once accepted, your ODU experience begins with Orientation. You’ll make new friends, meet faculty, explore the campus community and take care of other important details before school starts.
