Due to security and other concerns, requests to pick up checks cannot be honored. Late applicants or students just now completing promissory notes or other requirements should anticipate making personal financial arrangements for books, supplies and other immediate needs. Tuition debt may be covered under the deferment policy depending upon the student's funding. Funds may or may not be directed to the University. The rules governing the funding are established by the organization or agency, not Old Dominion.
Funds usually arrive in the form of a check for a single student.
Checks can be made out to Old Dominion University on the student's behalf or made co-payable to the student and the University. However, it is possible that some resources can be checks sent in the student's name and sent directly to the student. Checks are applied to student accounts as any other payment. Resources may also be other support such as books, supplies, waivers, or other benefits. If this process delays payments, then the student can either incur the late fees or pay ODU charges on time with their own funds and be personally reimbursed when the scholarship arrives.
