Important Note for new Bachelor Degree Students

All First year students are required to take this test before they can register in courses for Semester 1, 2024. Science students are required to take the OMDT1 and non-science students are required to take the OMDT2.

Students need to follow the instructions in the OMDT user manual and go to odrt.usp.ac.fj  to access the OMDT.

Note: that there are 5 test modules and five remedial modules. If students fail any of the test module they will be required to take its appropriate remedial module before they take the retest. Each remedial module takes around 10 hours to complete. Students will know that they have completed the OMDT after viewing their OMDT certificate.
