Application Status (Graduate Admissions)

Check Your Application Status

It is important to note the following:
  • Outstanding items will be displayed in orange on the right-hand side of the portal.
  • Items that have been submitted to ODU and processed will be green.
  • If you just submitted your application, please allow a few business days for the information to be properly updated.
  • Standardized test scores that were sent to the university may take up to 2-3 weeks to arrive.
  • If you provided unofficial transcripts, these are perfectly acceptable for application review. Official transcripts are only required after acceptance to the university.
  • Once your application is submitted you cannot make changes. If there are additional documents you want to add please send them directly to gradadmit@odu.edu and our staff will attach them.
