SUMMER SCHOOL

Summer sessions at Old Dominion University offer more than 1,500 undergraduate and graduate courses to choose from, including a variety of day, evening, weekend and asynchronous courses. Course delivery methods include traditional face-to-face, televised, videostreamed, web-based, CD-ROM and hybrid courses using a combination of these methods. Course locations include the main Norfolk campus, the Virginia Beach, Peninsula, Tri-Cities, and Northern Virginia Higher Education Centers, and numerous sites in Hampton Roads and throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia, as well as several locations outside of Virginia. Not all courses are offered at all locations.Summer Image

Students who register for summer school classes delivered via technology (videostreamed, internet based, etc.) should be aware of the technology requirements for those classes. Information is available at the Distance Learning web site, or students may contact course instructors.
