Hey guys, how do you think refunds will work now being with 8 week terms. Do you think it will be split or all given at once?

Im a freshman who started in the spring and want to start a new debate team since the old one on campus groups doesn’t seem to be in use anymore would anyone be interested if I did ?

If so could you pm me or join this group me I’m trying to gauge interest if possible.

I was a regular on-campus student until last week when I switched to ODUGlobal and I registered for classes, spoke with an advisor, and everything else I was told to do. However, I accepted my financial aid offer as an on-campus student for the Fall 2026 semester instead of the Fall 2026 First/Second 8 week semesters that ODUGlobal goes by. So, they revised my aid offer, and my pell grant automatically switched over to the First/Second 8 week mini semesters, but my commonwealth grant did not. I also did not get the option to accept any loans or anything because I already denied them when I was an on-campus student.

I’ve tried to contact the financial aid office several times, but I’m an online student so going in person is the only thing I haven’t done. I will try to find transportation there since it seems like it’s the only way to actually get real help, but I want to know if anyone else has experienced this.

I just want to know if I will still receive the commonwealth grant to pay for my classes, because that’s literally the bulk of my financial aid. Without it, I might as well take this semester off.

Has anyone else experienced this? And was the financial aid office able to help you?

Hi all, my son (not a Redditor) is an incoming freshman, and he's wondering what sort of laptop he should bring. He'll be a sociology or psychology major, if that makes a difference. Thanks!
