All undergraduate students who have not earned credit for ENGL 110C through dual enrollment, Advanced Placement (AP), the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) or transfer from another institution are required to complete the Writing Success Placement Tool (WSPT) in order to enroll in first-year writing courses. Undergraduate students with transfer credit for ENGL 110C or ENGL 211C / ENGL 231C are not required to complete the Writing Success Placement Tool (WSPT). However, they are expected to be competent writers and must possess writing skills equivalent to those described in the outcome statements for equivalent ODU courses (i.e., ENGL 110C , ENGL 211C / ENGL 231C ). Although students with transfer credit for ENGL 110C , or ENGL 211C / ENGL 231C are not required to take the WSPT, those wishing to complete the WSPT for diagnostic purposes may do so by contacting the Director of Writing Placement and Support. ODUGlobal students are considered part of the aforementioned cohorts (students with or without transfer credit for ENGL 110C ) and must meet the assessment requirements of the undergraduate writing program. All incoming freshman students and transfer students are eligible to enroll in MATH 101M . Placement into MATH 103M will be based on a student's high school GPA.

Graduate-level transfer credits will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Up to four courses may be transferred from another regionally accredited university at the discretion of the Instructor of Record and the Graduate Program Director. They cannot have been used in conferral for another degree unless they undergo an additional review through the Prior Learning Assessment process.

Evaluation of Transfer Credits In the case of a student who has changed programs of study at Old Dominion University, the graduate program director of the new program may or may not accept any previously transferred course work or work completed in the former programs. Credits accepted for transfer from another institution will satisfy partial hour requirements, but grades earned in such courses are not calculated in the student’s overall grade point average. No credits will be accepted toward the degree or certificate if more than eight years old unless properly validated by examination.

In exceptional circumstances, an additional six semester hours of graduate credit may be awarded using Prior Learning Assessment at the request of the graduate program director and with the approvals of the chair or designee and the dean or designee of the college involved. Prior Learning Assessment fees may also be waived under established inter-institutional agreements or in exceptional circumstances at the request of the graduate program director and with the approvals of the chair or designee, the dean or designee of the college involved, and the Office of Prior Learning Assessment.

Students desiring credit by examination for mathematics and statistics courses should apply to take either the DANTES or CLEP test(s) at the Credentialing Center.

Grades in courses accepted for transfer credit are not counted in the computation of grade point averages.

General Education and Prior Learning Assessment All lower-level requirements within this program may be met by credit awarded to students who are able to demonstrate appropriate prior learning that fulfills the objectives of the particular Skills and Ways of Knowing requirements. Though not all learning and experiences are worthy of being recognized with the reward of academic credit, the principle that supports the policy is that many valid learning experiences worthy of such credit do take place outside of the traditional classroom setting. For procedures to meet General Education Requirements in this manner, please consult the section of this Catalog on Prior Learning Assessment Credit Options at the Undergraduate Level and visit the Prior Learning Assessment web site at https://www.odu.edu/academics/academic-records/evaluation-of-credit/prior-learning .

An extra combined maximum of twelve (12) graduate credits may be applied toward a graduate degree program from another accredited institution, if those credits were not part of a conferred degree, or through Prior Learning Assessment (see the Graduate Catalog Policy on “Prior Learning Assessment Credit Options at the Graduate Level”). Programs may grant exceptions to the number of transfer credits in the case of approved inter-institutional programs or in extraordinary circumstances with the approval of the dean or designee of the Graduate School. Students beginning their graduate studies at another institution and wishing to follow their faculty mentors who may have relocated to Old Dominion University will have their total allowances for transfer credits evaluated on a case-by-case basis and approved by the dean or designee of the Graduate School. Transfer credit will be given only for those courses that are certified as being applicable toward a comparable degree or certificate at the institution that offered the courses, and that were completed with a grade of B or better. No credit toward a graduate degree may be obtained by examination (except through the Prior Learning Assessment options noted above). Credits earned at another institution for a graduate degree may not transfer, however, experiences gained in those courses could be evaluated with Prior Learning Assessment with appropriate credit given. No credits may be transferred or be eligible for Prior Learning Assessment if they are older than eight years. Process: Students who wish to transfer allowable credit earned prior to admission to a degree program at Old Dominion University must submit a special request for evaluation of transfer credits through the graduate program director to the Office of the University Registrar. In no case is a transfer of credit final without the signed approval of the graduate program director and the academic dean overseeing the program on the Evaluation of Transfer Credits Form.

Grades in courses accepted for transfer credit are not counted in the computation of grade point averages.

(Courses taken at NSU under this policy will be considered the same as Old Dominion University courses; all other courses are subject to transfer credit policy limitations.) Regular bus service is provided between campuses, but is not available for evening classes.

If a catalog other than the catalog of the year of initial enrollment is to be used, written permission of the graduate program director and dean or designee must be obtained. Graduate students should consult their advisors to determine if any out-of-date credits may be re-validated by examination. In all cases, students must have been duly admitted to the University and an academic program of study and meet all of the requirements for graduation in one catalog. Students may not create their own degrees or certificates by selecting partial requirements from more than one catalog. Prior Learning Assessment Credit Options at the Graduate Level Old Dominion University offers Prior Learning Assessment, a program for assessing graduate-level knowledge gained through work and life experience and self-study. Students should meet with their advisors or distance learning representative to determine how Prior Learning Assessment credit affects their degree planning. A student may ordinarily earn a maximum of six semester hours at the graduate level through the following mechanisms: Knowledge-based examinations.* Upon approval of the student’s graduate program director and the appropriate chair and/or dean of the college involved, a student may take a knowledge-based examination, and with a satisfactory score, receive academic credit for the course(s). External examinations. Upon approval of the student’s graduate program director and the appropriate chair and/or dean of the college involved, a student may submit satisfactory scores of professional examinations that are evaluated and recommended for graduate-level credit by the American Council of Education, and receive academic credit for the relevant course(s). Credit for training. Upon approval of the student’s graduate program director and the appropriate chair and/or dean of the college involved, a student may submit documentation of completion of professional and/or military training that is evaluated and recommended for graduate-level credit by the American Council on Education, and receive academic credit for the relevant course(s). Portfolio development. Upon approval of the student’s graduate program director and the appropriate chair and/or dean of the college involved, a student may develop a portfolio for a graduate-level course(s) offered by Old Dominion University to earn academic credit. Portfolios are submitted to and assessed for credit by the appropriate department and/or college involved. The following regulations for Prior Learning Assessment credit apply: Prior Learning Assessment credit may be granted upon the written recommendation of the student’s graduate program director and the chair of the department/school (or designated faculty assessor) having jurisdiction over the courses involved. Applicability of Prior Learning Assessment credit toward a specific degree program is subject to departmental/school approval. A student may not receive credit for the same course in which any grade has been previously awarded, including W (withdrawal), F (fail), or O (audit). No letter grades will be entered on the student’s transcript for Prior Learning Assessment credit. This credit will be treated in the same way as transfer credit: a “XP” (Pass) will be assigned and it will not count in the student’s grade point average. A student should request Prior Learning Assessment credit as early as possible upon admission to degree status. A student must meet with the degree program advisor and the director at the beginning of his or her academic career at Old Dominion University to determine how the Prior Learning Assessment program may be applicable to the degree. Satisfactory scores for knowledge-based examinations and professional examinations are determined by the appropriate department/school and/or dean of the college involved. Necessary documentation for academic credit for professional training is determined by the appropriate department/school and/or dean of the college involved. A maximum of six semester hours of graduate credit may be earned through Prior Learning Assessment mechanisms. The six hours is included in the maximum number of graduate credits that may be transferred into a graduate program at Old Dominion University. The student must be aware of individual degree program requirements. Programs may grant exceptions in the case of approved inter-institutional programs or in extraordinary circumstances with the approval of the dean or designee of the Graduate School. A student in a certificate or endorsement area may earn a maximum of six credit hours through Prior Learning Assessment credit to apply to a certificate, endorsement or teacher licensure program. Prior Learning Assessment hours gained in these programs would be applicable to approved degree programs at Old Dominion University. In an approved graduate degree program at Old Dominion University, a graduate student who has earned six credit hours in a certificate or endorsement program that is applicable to the degree program has met the maximum number of Prior Learning Assessment credit hours. No additional Prior Learning Assessment credit may be applied to that graduate degree program. Prior Learning Assessment credit earned at another institution may be re-evaluated by Old Dominion University faculty at their discretion to determine whether credit may be awarded at Old Dominion University. If a student fails a PLA challenge, they may not attempt to challenge the course again via PLA.

Prior Learning Assessment Credit Options at the Undergraduate Level Old Dominion University offers a program for assessing college-level knowledge gained through professional work and training experiences prior to attempting a specific ODU course. Students may initiate assessment of prior learning through a variety of assessment tools, including departmental examinations, portfolios, external examinations, or documented training programs, as determined by academic departments. A student may earn a maximum of 60 semester hours at the undergraduate level through Prior Learning Assessment credit. However, in unusual situations when a student can demonstrate a more extensive knowledge base that would be applicable to a degree program, the student can apply to the Prior Learning Assessment representative in Continuing Education for an exception to the maximum of 60 credit hours. Requests will be forwarded to the appropriate department for review. Prior Learning Assessment credit may be granted through the following mechanisms: External Examinations. Satisfactory scores on the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DSST), International Baccalaureate (IB), Advanced Placement (AP), Cambridge Advanced (A/AS Level) programs, and professional certification examinations evaluated by the American Council of Education (ACE) for college-level credit. If a CLEP or DSST exam exists and Old Dominion University accepts a qualifying score for credit, the student may not request to take a departmental exam. CLEP and DSST exams are administered through Old Dominion University's Credentialing Center. Qualifying scores through the Advanced Placement Examinations Program, Cambridge Advanced (A/AS Level) programs, or Admissions Testing Program of the Educational Testing Service (ETS) are approved by departments. CLEP, DSST, AP, IB, and Cambridge scores should be reported to the Office of Admissions. Departmental Examinations. Upon approval of the chair or dean (designee) of the college in which the course is offered, a student may take a comprehensive examination in an academic course in which he or she can demonstrate proficiency and upon passing the examination receive credit for that course. A request for testing should be made through the Prior Learning Assessment representative in Continuing Education, who forwards the request to the appropriate faculty. A course may be tested through departmental examination one time only. Credit for Training. Military and professional training may be evaluated and recommended for college credit by the American Council on Education (ACE). The relevant academic department will recommend specific academic credit for posting to the student’s record. Portfolio Development. Upon approval of the chair or dean (designee) of the college in which the course is offered, a student may develop a portfolio for a course or courses offered by Old Dominion University to gain college-level credit. Portfolios are submitted to the Prior Learning Assessment representative in Continuing Education. The following regulations for Prior Learning Assessment credit will apply: All approved Prior Learning Assessment options will be granted with credit. Prior Learning Assessment credit will be granted upon the written recommendation of the chair of the department or designated faculty assessor having jurisdiction over the courses involved with the chair’s approval. The applicability of Prior Learning Assessment credit toward specific degree program requirements is subject to departmental approval. A student may not fail a course at Old Dominion University and later receive credit for the same course through a Prior Learning Assessment option. A student may not enroll in a course for credit or audit at Old Dominion University and subsequently seek credit through a Prior Learning Assessment option. No letter grades will be entered on the student’s transcript for Prior Learning Assessment credit. This credit will be treated in the same way as transfer credit: a “XP” (Pass) will be assigned and it will not count in the student’s grade point average. A student must request Prior Learning Assessment credit as early as possible upon admission to degree status. Prior Learning Assessment credit does not count toward the University’s residency requirement. A student earning prior learning credit must meet the minimum residency requirements of 25 percent of the total number of credits required for the degree at Old Dominion University, which shall include 12 residency hours of upper-level courses in the declared major program. The student should be aware that some program residency requirements exceed the University minimum residency requirements. A student in a certificate or endorsement area may earn a maximum of six credit hours through prior learning credit to apply to a certificate, endorsement or teacher licensure program. Prior Learning Assessment hours gained in these programs would be applicable to approved degree programs at Old Dominion University. In an approved undergraduate degree program, a student who has previously earned six credit hours of Prior Learning Assessment credit for a certificate area may be eligible to attempt additional Prior Learning Assessment credit toward a degree program. Prior Learning Assessment credit earned at another institution will be re-evaluated by Old Dominion University faculty to determine whether credit may be awarded at Old Dominion. If a student fails a PLA challenge, they may not attempt to challenge the course again via PLA. The privilege of seeking Prior Learning Assessment credit is available to both full-time and part-time degree status students only. A student should consult with the degree program advisor, Student Success Advisor (for online students), advisor, or the Office of Prior Learning Assessment at the beginning of his or her academic career at Old Dominion University to determine how Prior Learning Assessment may be applicable to the degree.

Transfer Credits Students who have received an AA, AS or AA and S from a Virginia community college, Richard Bland College or an equivalent associate degree approved by Transfer Evaluation Services have met all lower-division general education requirements. However, completion of ENGL 211C and either six hours of a second foreign language or six hours of area studies (which may include WCS 100L ) are major requirements and are not automatically met by completion of an associate degree. Transfer students who have taken a different general education course in the same perspective area should consult the chief departmental advisor to determine if substitutions are possible. All majors must complete the Lower-Division General Education requirements and the core requirements and select one of the following majors. A cumulative grade point average of 2.00 is required for the 30 hours of upper-division courses in French, German, Japanese, or Spanish. No more than two FR/GER/JAPN/SPAN courses taught in English can be counted for the major. At least 12 hours in the major must be taken at Old Dominion University. Degree Program Guide The

Transfer of Credit Old Dominion University considers transfer credit from institutions of higher education accredited by accrediting agencies recognized by the U.S. Department of Education for Title IV purposes ( https://www2.ed.gov/admins/finaid/accred/accreditation_pg9.html ) or international equivalent. A grade of C (2.00) or above must be earned in the course. Credits will be applied as equivalent college courses offered at Old Dominion University after evaluation from the appropriate faculty member in the corresponding academic department or the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Courses are evaluated by reviewing the course content (syllabus, assignments, catalog description) regardless of the mode of instruction. Students are required to submit academic transcripts from all institutions attended. In general, all liberal arts credits and professional and technical courses parallel to those of Old Dominion University are transferable. Graduate credit will not be accepted for undergraduate degree requirements.

With regard to the fulfillment of General Education Requirements, students will be able to apply transfer credit on a course-by-course basis rather than hour-by-hour as long as the course is determined to be commensurate with content categories of the curriculum used to fulfill General Education Requirements at Old Dominion University. The University evaluates transcripts of all transfer students from two- or four-year institutions at the time of the matriculation and assigns appropriate transfer credit for General Education courses judged as compatible with corresponding Old Dominion University General Education courses.

Although students with transfer credit for ENGL 110C are not required to take the WSPT, those wishing to complete the WSPT for diagnostic purposes may do so by contacting the Director of Writing Placement and Support . ODU Online Students are considered part of the aforementioned cohorts (students with or without transfer credit for ENGL 110C ) and must meet the assessment requirements of the undergraduate writing program.
