Got Questions?
As a new student, you probably have a lot of questions about the Monarch Experience (TME) and getting started on your Monarch path. This is a list of frequently asked questions to help you get the most out of TME.
This is the first few weeks designed to welcome all students back to campus, get the year started with some fun, and allow students to meet each other and form new friendships.
TME is a campus-wide event and many events occur virtually. There will be various programs, information sessions, and other events throughout campus. To find where a specific event is taking place, look for the WOW posters or download the ODUMobile App.
TME is for all ODU students; however, certain events, like New Student Convocation and Monarch 101, are geared toward new students (see the complete schedule for details).
For the most part, all TME events are free to ODU students.
When you arrive on campus, there will be plenty of publicity listing and explaining all the things happening with TME. And you can always come back to this website as it will continue to be updated with the latest information. In addition, we have an app for smart phones!
The University Bookstore is much more than just a place to get textbooks. It is the place to be when it comes to getting ODU gear, magazines, and diploma frames, books for entertainment and to keep you informed! There is also a convenient store in Webb Center called the Monarch Market with essentials like ODU gear and snacks.
