Campus Students and Online Courses in Fall 2023

Campus students who want to take an online class in Fall 2023 would register for the WC/WEB2 course section. If the WC/WEB2 course section is full, there are three options to consider:

Option 1
Register for an on-campus section of the course, if offered. This would require in-person attendance.

Option 2
Add yourself to the Wait List for the WC/WEB2 section. Wait lists are reviewed regularly. If seats become available, students on the wait list are notified in the order that they joined the wait list. Notices are sent to your ODU student email address, and you have 24 hours to enroll before the seat is offered to the next person on the wait list. A wait list can hold a maximum of 20 people.

Option 3
Consider whether you should switch to taking all your courses online. This would be a long-term change, similar to changing your major. As a fully online student who lives in Virginia, you would register for WC/WEB5 course sections. You would only take a face-to-face class on campus in rare circumstances. To make this change, please submit the Campus Change Request Form.

Online for Summer Only

If you are a campus student and you live outside Virginia or the U.S. during the summer, you can make a temporary campus change that will allow you to register for online courses in the summer semester.

If you leave campus for the summer and live in Virginia, you do not need to complete this form. Please register for WC/WEB2 online course sections.

Switch Everything

If you are a campus student, you may encounter a situation where you need to take the rest of your program online. This could include a military deployment or a permanent move to another city for a new job.

Students who only take online classes can also switch from being fully online to being a campus student.

In either case, your campus change is intended to be a long term solution, similar to changing your major.
