You'll have access to the same tools as ODU's on campus students, no matter where in the world you are.

All of ODU's Resources Available to You Online
How to Succeed as an ODUGlobal Student
We've collected important links and tips to help you do your best with ODUGlobal and to make the most of your classes.
Credit Outside the Classroom
The College Level Examination Program® (CLEP) is a great option to gain college credits for what you already know. The cost of a CLEP exam is much less than a full college course, so you'll save money as well. ODU accepts multiple CLEP scores.
CLEP exams are available at no cost for most active duty, reserve, or National Guard service members. ODU also offers credit for DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST) scores.
Student Success Center
Have accessibility questions, or need to talk about a challenge? Your academic advisor and coach can help connect you to services at the Student Success Center.
Mental Health & Well-Being Services
Online undergraduate students have access to TimelyCare, virtual support services that include one-on-one counseling with licensed mental health professionals, health coaching, and self-care resources.
Online graduate students in Virginia have access to ODU's Office of Counseling Services for comprehensive mental health services for enrolled students, such as consultations, individual and group counseling, psychiatric services, crisis intervention, and more.
Career Development Services
When it's time to decide on career moves, ODU's Career Development Services is a great resource for interview practice, resume writing tips, and job searches.
After you graduate, you will have lifetime access to Career Development Services for ODU alumni.
Technical Support
Technology has a tendency to surprise us all, but never fear. We offer 24/7/365 technical support.
Military and Veteran Students
We have highly skilled and friendly student success directors (SSD) who understand the unique needs of military students. Contact your SSD for assistance with degree planning or questions about your schedule.
ODU's Military Connection Center is the central place to find guidance on tuition and finance processes for military service members, veterans, and their dependents. Contact the MCC at 757-683-7153 or military@odu.edu.
