Using the Transfer Guide - Old Dominion University

Using the Transfer Guide
Thank you for your interest in Old Dominion University!!! The ODU Transfer
Guide is designed to assist students transferring to ODU from the Virginia
Community College System and Richard Bland College in determining
course equivalences and transfer credit. This resource should be used as a
guide to recommending courses and completing prerequisites prior to
transferring. Prospective transfer students should refer to the current
curriculum sheets (http://uc.odu.edu/advising/cs/) for more specific degree
requirements and applicability of transfer credit.
Courses that do not appear in the Transfer Guide may be transferable but
have not been evaluated at this point. Below is a listing of ODU course
prefixes and additional resources to better understand information
contained in our transfer guide. For more information, please contact the
Office of Admissions at 757-683-3699 or TransferAdvising@odu.edu
