VCCS Transfer Guide - Admissions - 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/2010_2011.shtml) 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-
3685 or transfer@odu.edu.
