Welcome to the Monarch community! Your New to Blue: New Student Experience includes three unique phases throughout the summer that will outline your required orientation activities, provide you with an online orientation course, and prepare you to visit campus this summer.

Make Me a Monarch

Make Me a Monarch kicks off your new student experience at Old Dominion University. Following Admitted Students Day, we will have a weekly Q&A via Zoom to answer all your new student questions. Registration for Make Me A Monarch is open to new students who have paid their admissions deposit and set up their Microsoft 365 email account.

Review the New to Blue timeline and checklist, and complete the tasks and to-do's to continue progressing through your new student experience.
