For transfer and credit-by-exam students, Old Dominion University is generally a transfer-oriented public university that evaluates prior college coursework through its admissions and academic offices. CLEP credit may be accepted when it matches university policy and degree requirements, but applicability depends on the exam, score, and the student's program. Students should confirm current policies before relying on exam credit for a specific major or requirement.

Students may also have options involving CLEP®, DSST, AP, ACE, or NCCRS credits, depending on ODU's current policies. Not every alternative credit source is automatically accepted, so verify eligibility before completing a course or exam.

Approved credits may count toward general education, major requirements, electives, or other degree requirements depending on the evaluation. Old Dominion University transfer credits should therefore be reviewed against the specific degree program.
