Military, Veterans, & Dependents
ODU’s Distance Learning Roots Begin with the Military
For over 35 years, Old Dominion University has been providing service members with innovative and accessible education to support their military careers and beyond.
I recommend ODU, especially if you're a veteran. The service that they provide to veterans is great. There's no better, in my opinion.
A military academic advisor from ODU helped me find a degree program that would suit my desired career field.

Gain Credit for Previous Training or Education
Have credits from multiple schools? Before you apply, our enrollment team can review all your transcripts to see which credits may transfer to ODU. This unofficial transfer evaluation is free, no commitment required.
We'll also review your military service transcripts to find credits that transfer to ODU.
The College Level Examination Program® (CLEP) is another great option to gain college credits for what you already know. CLEP exams are available at no cost for most active duty, reserve, or National Guard service members. ODU accepts multiple CLEP scores.

Specialized Support
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.

Partnerships
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.
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.
