Military, Veterans, & Dependents

ODU’s Distance Learning Roots Begin with the Military

For 30+ years, we’ve been providing service members innovative and accessible education that supports them in their military careers and beyond.

ODUOnline features programs that may award academic credit for military training and experience. In some cases, military students can take courses in these programs via portable media (CD-ROM, DVD).

Military service members, veterans, and their dependents are welcome to apply for any program that ODU offers.

Cost & Financial Aid

Military-affiliated students have specific needs when it comes to tuition. We can help you make the most out of your military benefits, and maybe take advantage of scholarships if they apply to you.

Using Tuition Assistance

We know the military community very well after decades of partnerships. So well, in fact, that ODU has a whole department dedicated to military student needs. ODU's Military Connection Center is the central place to find guidance on tuition, finance processes, and other resources for military service members, veterans, and their dependents.

ODU has programs in place to provide academic, professional, and transitional support to military-affiliated students.

Military Connection Center Peer Educator Program

ODU is proud to be a part of several military education affiliations. Many of these partnerships offer financial aid to military personnel and veterans.

We also offer classes in partnership with community colleges and military installations.
