Let's get started!
As the official acceptance process is handled through the main University Admissions Office; if you haven't already, you will need to accept your offer of admission by logging into your听admission account听and proceed to the Enrollment Form for admitted students.
The first thing you should do is become familiar with your听University Identification Number听(UIN), which was provided on your official offer of admission. It is important to know this number because you will use it often. Memorizing this number will make your transition to 香港六合彩资料 much easier.
Now that you have been admitted, you need to activate your 香港六合彩资料 MIDAS ID and your 香港六合彩资料 email account. Your 香港六合彩资料 MIDAS ID account coordinates identity and password management for the entire university and important communication will only be sent to your 香港六合彩资料 email account.

The MBA program is a little different than other programs on campus, instead of the Graduate Program Director (GPD) doing academic advising; you have a program specific advisor. You will want to email听MBAadvisor@odu.edu听to complete your initial advising. This can be done on the phone, via email, on Zoom, or in person.
The Graduate Catalog is available for viewing and printing from my香港六合彩资料 portal, LeoOnline or odu.edu (it includes course descriptions, info on prerequisites, certificates, etc.). Here's a link to the MBA Program section:
The degree evaluation tool, DegreeWorks, is available in the University Portal, my香港六合彩资料. On the Academic tab in the portal, you will see a new channel called "DegreeWorks." DegreeWorks is a web-based, academic advising tool designed to help students manage their academic progress. It identifies courses that fulfill requirements for your degree completion. It displays graduation requirements you've met already and those you've yet to complete. You can also generate 'What If' evaluations for future planning purposes. This can be a very powerful tool that can help you achieve your academic goals on time in collaboration with your academic advisor.
Here's the link to the registrar's site for more information:听http://www.odu.edu/academics/academic-records/degree-evaluation.
All Graduate Students at 香港六合彩资料 are required to complete Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training. This needs to be completed within 12 credits of starting your graduate work at 香港六合彩资料. Please be sure to comply with this requirement or there will be holds placed on your account after that time that the MBA program office will not be able to help do anything about.
The Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) consists of seven core RCR Training modules. This training may be done at your convenience on your computer and you do not have to complete all seven modules in one sitting. It typically takes approximately 2 hours in total to complete.
To begin the process, go to听/impact/responsible-conduct-of-training. College of Business students should select the Social & Behavioral track. If you have additional questions, you may contact Dr. Adam Rubenstein in the Office of Research at听arubenst@odu.edu.
Our program has additional reporting requirements than other graduate programs at the University. If you would please complete this survey that will help us in that reporting process, please know that your individual responses remain anonymous.
There are only two of us working in the office trying to help approximately 200 students. Help us help you by doing these couple of things:
- All students are required to听register for an 香港六合彩资料 email account听补苍诲听sign up for the MBA Google Group听and search for MBA List. This latter item is often overlooked especially by 香港六合彩资料 alumni. Please be certain to sign up for the Google Group as it is the primary means of communication from the MBA Program office.
Graduate assistantship provide a stipend each semester ($7,500 in Fall/Spring and varies in Summer) and a tuition waiver for out of state students for up to 9 credit hours in Fall/Spring and 6 credits in Summer that brings the tuition rate to in-state rates. Assistantships require that students spend an average 20 hours per week conducting teaching / research / administrative services.
In order to receive an assistantship and any eligible tuition support students must be enrolled in a degree program, attend school on a fulltime basis (summer semester six (6) graduate credit hours and fall and spring semesters nine (9) graduate credit hours is the minimum for full time status) and no more than 6 credit hours during the Summer semester or 9 credits in Fall/Spring covered by the award. Students must also maintain a 3.0 (or higher) grade point average. Please note the assistantship (including any tuition support) will be immediately terminated if students do not maintain the 3.00 grade point average. Students who resign their assistantships or whose assistantships are terminated will be responsible for all tuition which has been paid on their behalf in the semester in which the resignation or termination occurs.
Please note that assistantships are not guaranteed beyond the current semester.
The process to award assistantships begins the semester prior to the award period, please apply by submitting an updated resume and听听迟辞听mbainfo@odu.edu听at your earliest convenience. Please include your UIN where the application asks for SS#. This office also听does not听require the essay requested on the form听only a current resume.
Most graduate students find off-campus housing fits their needs best.
Full-time, on campus students must complete and submit the required student health forms to Student Health Services by August 1 for the fall semester and January 4 for the spring semester. Read about the immunization requirements听here.

Also, it is the organization that is your voice to administration as an MBA student.
