  • Completely review ODU's Certificate of Eligibility document requirements.
  • Estimates are based on full-time enrollment for the 9 month academic year (15 credit hours for Undergraduate/9 credit hours for Graduate). Summer semester costs not included. These conservative estimates are based on the needs of an average student without dependents. Costs increase annually, and are subject to change without notice.
  • Year round (12 month) health insurance is required for the entire duration of study in F-1 status. Costs covering the University insurance plan are added to your tuition bill, and can be paid in one payment or through installments via enrollment in a payment plan. Students in J-1 status must maintain health insurance coverage meeting Exchange Visitor Program requirements.

  • Spouses and children in F-2 & J-2 status require additional funding for living and personal expenses. These added costs must be factored into the total amount of guaranteed support; please thoroughly review ODU's Certificate of Eligibility requirements. A copy of each dependents' passport identification page or birth certificate is required.
  • Purchase of the University insurance plan is not mandatory for dependents in F-2 status, though ODU strongly encourages coverage for all family members while residing in the United States. Dependents in J-2 status must maintain health insurance coverage that meets the Exchange Visitor Program requirements.
