Hey y’all,

So I planned to graduate by Spring of 2026, but I have just learned that Inorganic Chemistry, one of my requirements as a Chem Major, won’t be offered until that semester. Does anyone know of another school/community college that I could take that class at (preferably online) and transfer the credit to ODU? Thank you.

I don’t know what to do. I’m a math education major and am all signed up to student teach next semester and graduate in May. I don’t think I am going to be able to pass this one class that’s required for my degree. I just took my midterm and it was really bad. So what are my options if I fail? The class is only offered in the fall and I won’t be here anymore by like August/September next year as my husband is in the military so I need to graduate before I move.

Is anyone a business major and had to fill out a program restriction waiver form for classes? I sent out an email on the 25th, and multiple emails after that but I haven't gotten any response back. I register tomorrow and will not be able to register for anything until they respond.. its just strange because last semester I received a reply in 30 minutes, is anyone else in the same boat as me or ?

I was wondering if anyone knows how long it takes to hear a decision back about admissions into ODU global I am a little nervous because my GPA dropped when I went from community college to a University. I went from 3.4 when I was at community college to a 2.5 and my GPA didn't transfer over to my University and had to start over. I failed my first semester due to having a different major and realized I hated it and changed it to information systems but have done better in every other semester since I failed that first semester. I am just nervous even though I got a recommendation letter from the dean of my program and I already have internship experience as a junior systems analyst.

I wrote a college essay about a month ago and applied on the 25th. On the application I saw nowhere for me to enter my personal essay. I saw a spot where I could submit an essay about my achievements and accomplishments, but no where to submit a personal essay. Plus the word limit for the achievements essay was 400 words and my essay is 800 words. I really want to submit my essay because it feels like a waste to write one for no reason, is there somewhere I can submit it?

i’m just wondering if my sister will be able to get into odu with a 2.1??( Ok sat score, good essay, good teacher recommendations)

I'm preparing for registration for spring semester and I saw for gen chem 1 kalpana is the professor- I know she teaches orgo but why is she doing chem 1? Should I be worried? The other professor for chem 1 in spring is Xu (and I heard her accent makes it very hard to understand her and chemistry is already hard enough).

My main question is will I be fine with kalpana or should I switch to Xu?

I likely won't stay on campus because I don't want to but school is a 30 min commute and part of me wants the "full" college experience. I have a 14 gallon and i'm wondering if i could have it in my room without the RA on my butt.

When i checked the site i noticed they didn't list track and field as a sport and the information i can find about it is pretty limited. I checked mile stat and athletic.net as well, besides the top records, the times are pretty unremarkable. Does ODU have a real track team or not?

How’s registering going for everybody?

Anyone else having issues with MyODU portal? Whenever I click on any of the programs it just says "this page isn't working" or "Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand." I'm kinda freaking out since spring registration is coming up. I only noticed this today since I was trying to load all of my courses into the prepare for registration feature. Registration and degreeworks are both not working and I have no idea what to do!

I’m about to graduate in a competitive field with no internship experience and have grown a disinterest in my field anyways. I’m wondering if there are any graduates that have been in my same situation. Should I consult with the Career Services? Should I list some of the skills from my coursework in my resume? I really hope I’m not going to be confined to my area of study after grad. My field is CS.

I've been exploring the Data Science & Analytics graduate degree program and comparing the two different formats ("on campus" and online). For those of you with experience with either, from what I can tell looking at all the courses for the program they all seem to be remote unless I'm missing something. If that is truly the case, what would you say is truly the difference between the two formats functionally?

I wasn't able to be outside in time for it but was wondering how it looked. It sounded nice

To all my fellow cyber majors, how and where are y’all getting internships? I have a 4.0 GPA, I’ve been to career fairs, applied on LinkedIn, met with the internship and co-op office, had my resume reviewed, and have had absolutely no luck. Seeing as it’s a requirement to get an internship to graduate, it’s starting to concern me that I haven’t gotten one yet. Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone else get woken up by that god awful foghorn from the shipyard at like 7 am or just me?

Has anyone taken Spanish 202 online and what was your experience? It’s the last class I need to graduate. Thank you!

This will be for a small business, I’m aware of platforms like Etsy however I’m willing to pay for my own website.

Hello everyone,

Although the title is self-explanatory, I'll expand on it.
I'm currently in O-Chem, and I'm trying to figure out the best professors for my next classes.
For example, I know Dr. Freeman and Dr. Hardy are great for Gen Chem, as well as Analytical Chem and Inorganic Chem respectively.
Are there professors like this, that people would say, "Oh, I love them!" for classes like PChem, Instrumental Analysis, Biochem, etc?

Thank you!

For myself and perhaps people seeing this in the future, I'll be editing this post to fill in a table with professors / their classes! I'll also add rows if people say a particular professor was great.

I need to pair an apple watch but it won’t get past an update. I need to connect to a device that has ios 13 installed because apparently you could pair an apple watch without updating it back then.

How soon are final grades posted in leo or degreeworks for Session 3, 8 week Fall semester courses?

Is somebody enrolled in online BS cybersecurity program at ODU? I am almost done with my associate in cybersecurity at my community college and I moved from Georgia to virginia but I want to enroll in online BS instead of On campus BS program. I want to know how is their online BS program in cybersecurity. Can somebody please tell this . Thanks.

Which ones did yall choose? I'm thinking geometry because it only has one prereq.

Seen someone mention Clep exams and does anyone have any experience with them? I just wanna take one for my foreign language credits (Spanish)

My language class is driving me INSANE. 😭😭 It feels harder than my actual major coursework! My social anxiety is just horrible so the thought of having a TalkAbroad conversation makes me want to drop it ASAP. Without a waiver, is there any way out? Is there anywhere I can get these credits that isn't a physical class? Online? TCC? Any recommendations?

So I have a question on how grade forgiveness and and transferring credits from Tidewater Community College works. So I withdrew my first attempt at Pre-Calculus, and worst case I might fail this semester again and not be able to withdraw again. If i were to take the course over the summer at TCC and transfer the credit, will my grade be forgiven? Is retaking a course for the 3rd time possible or will I be dismissed?
