You will remain registered even if you do not pay your tuition. Nonpayment of tuition and non-attendance does not release you from responsibility to pay for registered courses.
Old Dominion University no longer mails paper bills. All billing is done via e-mail (e-billing). Failure to receive a billing statement does not release you from the responsibility to pay charges.
With Old Dominion University's E-Billing System, you can see your latest billing statements and make payments. You can also add your parents, guardians, or employer as "Authorized Users" to access your bill and set up stored payment profiles.
On your e-bill is a statement of your current charges with Old Dominion University, and the due date for each charge is displayed to the left of each applicable charge. Please pay by the due date to prevent penalty fees being assessed to your account. If you have questions regarding your bill, please contact your Account Representative.
Old Dominion University uses e-mail billing notification.
Notifications will be sent to your official ODU.EDU address issued to all admitted students.
E-mail accounts must be activated by the student.
Failure to activate or maintain your official e-mail account will not be a valid reason for failure to pay on time.
Failure to receive an ebill does not release you from making your tuition payment by the deadline.
You can access ODU's Student Accounts Suite via Leo Online (use MIDAS ID and password).
Students on a Payment Plan
When on a payment plan, students will continue to receive a comprehensive billing statement each month for total charges with the original tuition deadline as the due date. This statement does not provide payment plan installment due dates or amounts. Students must sign into LEO Online to see the amounts and due dates of each installment.
Timing Issues for Billing
Advance bills are sent via e-mail to the bels-vlc.com student e-mail address. Student e-mail addresses must be activated by the student provided the student is registered at least 30 days prior to the opening of the term.

Students can add an "Authorized User" to their accounts. An Authorized User (usually a parent/guardian) can login via Touchnet to make payments to the account.

Students are charged tuition after registration is completed.
First, access your student records and confirm your registration (in Leo Online). See Leo Online instructions for log in instructions.
To obtain the amount of tuition, fees, etc. incurred, go to "Student Records"; select "Student Account by Term". Links are also provided on the registration pages.
Print a copy of this record for billing purposes. This information is formatted with your name and the University Seal suitable for official purposes.
Any changes to enrollment may cause revisions to the billing statement. Students are advised to immediately reprint a copy of the bill at any time there is a change to the registration.
Tuition due dates are listed on this page and on the academic calendar.
Due to the frequency of course changes, duplicate and/or revised e-bills will not be sent in the 30 days prior to tuition due date. Students are advised to manage their account online via LeoOnline portal.
After tuition deadline, students are advised to login to their account via LeoOnline to self-service.
Late fees are assessed on past due accounts in accordance with University policy.
Failure to attend a course after registering is not justification for elimination of charges. Student must officially drop to qualify for a refund or release of charges by the drop/add deadline. Failure to pay will not release a student from the responsibility for these charges.
If you are enrolled in a payment plan, you will continue to receive a comprehensive billing statement each month for total charges with the original tuition deadline as the due date. This statement does not provide payment plan installment due dates or amounts, which can only be viewed in your online student account (via LeoOnline).
