Finish with ODUGlobal
We want to help you finish your bachelor's degree online. Our enrollment team is ready to help you through the admissions process.
Free Unofficial Transfer Evaluation
Our enrollment team can provide a free unofficial transfer evaluation of any previous college work. Courses in which grades of C or better were earned can be considered for transfer. We can also review your military training/JST.
How It Works
- Submit a contact form on our website. An ODUGlobal enrollment coach will contact you.
- Gather unofficial transcripts from all colleges you attended in the past. If you previously transferred credits to another school, we'll need the transcripts from the original school, too.
- Follow your coach's instructions to submit transcripts for evaluation. An ODUGlobal enrollment coordinator will connect with you to discuss your options. It may be best to meet on the phone or virtually so we can best help you succeed.
We can review unofficial transcripts now. If you decide to apply to ODU, you will need to provide official transcripts for review.
