After You Apply

Submit Your Admission Documents

Once you have applied, you will need to send your transcripts and other required documents to continue the Liberty admission process.

Please keep in mind that transcript requirements differ depending on degree level. Additional document requirements may also vary per program. Visit your specific program admissions page to learn more.

How to Submit Admission Documents

Official High School Transcripts

Official High School transcripts are required for undergraduate programs. Students may be able to enroll in up to 12 credit hours with unofficial high school transcripts and our high school self-certification form.

Official College Transcripts

Students can be accepted into most programs with unofficial transcripts, but official college transcripts must be submitted within 60 days of acceptance or before non-attendance drops for the first set of matriculated classes, whichever occurs first.

Please note: Unofficial transcripts can only be used for acceptance purposes when a transcript request form is also submitted.

Where to Send Transcripts

International Applicants

Applicants whose native language is other than English must submit official scores for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or an approved alternative assessment. For information on alternative assessments or TOEFL waivers, please call Admissions or view the official International Admissions policy.

Get Started with Financial Aid

Get started setting up your financial aid by following the below steps and submitting the forms that apply to you.

As an accredited university, Liberty allows eligible students to use federal and private grants and aid. Make sure you have your FAFSA completed prior to class registration. Even if you intend to pay out-of-pocket through one of Liberty University’s interest-free payment plans, have military benefits, or have corporate tuition assistance, you may be eligible for additional benefits through financial aid.

It can take up to two weeks to process, so we recommend that you submit your FAFSA as soon as possible.

Use Liberty’s school code (010392). You must complete the FAFSA to be considered for financial aid. If you have more questions or concerns about the FAFSA, see more about the FAFSA.
