Youth Program Event Registration

Ensuring Proper Protection of Minors

Welcome to the Events Registration page for events involving minors. Old Dominion is committed to ensuring that our campus is a safe place for learning, living, and working; you play an important role in that effort. Recent laws and our own Minors on Campus Policy 3014 further enhance that commitment.

Provided below are information and reference materials to assist you in registering your Youth Program event with ODU. All events involving minors, both on campus and those that occur off campus but are sponsored by ODU, must be registered with the University. It is imperative this registration is begun at least 30 days before the day of the event.

Events that Need to be Registered
