There is no fee to park at ODU, however all motor vehicles, including motorcycles, parked on campus must be registered with Public Safety and display a valid parking permit at all times.
Tuition and fees, housing and food, miscellaneous fees... it's a lot of numbers to keep track of, we know. To help you understand the actual cost of the ODU experience before financial aid, we've bundled everything together, breaking it down by enrollment status (i.e. full-time vs. part-time, etc.) and the type of student you may be (i.e. living on campus, commuter, dependent, independent, etc.).
These cost of attendance components represent average billed cost amounts as well
as allowances for other non-billed expenses.
