MGB 236 Advising Suite

Students are required to meet with an academic advisor every semester.  We start advising in MGB 236 the third week of each semester - see an advisor early to avoid a delay in registration!  Please review the Steps for Advising before coming to see an advisor to ensure that you are prepared for your advising session.  You will NOT be seen by an advisor without a saved plan in DegreeWorks.

If you are a new transfer student about to begin your first semester at ODU, please review our New Transfer Student Checklist for information on how to schedule advising for your first semester at ODU.
