The signature of a course department's chairperson must be obtained if the ODU equivalent of the course you are planning to take at the host institution is offered at ODU during the same semester you are planning to take it elsewhere. Even if the offered ODU sections do not fit with your course schedule, are not offered online, or are closed, you must still obtain the course department chairperson's signature.
