Transfer to Liberty University Online

The Office of Transfer Evaluations helps you seamlessly transition between any previously attended college(s) and Liberty University. We understand that you have worked hard for the college credit you have earned and expect to transfer as much as you can toward your degree completion. We work hard to ensure that you do not have to repeat an equivalent course that you have previously taken through a regionally accredited college or university. We also know that you may be eligible for credit based on military or career experience. For more information please visit the earn more credit through prior learning & experience page.

If you have any questions or concerns during the transfer process, see the transfer credit FAQs or email us at luotransfer@liberty.edu and one of our experienced evaluators will answer your questions as soon as possible. Please give our staff a reasonable amount of time to respond, so that we can be sure to provide a detailed response that addresses your needs.

Education - Business Testimonial

After substitute teaching for three years in the school our children attended, I was offered a full-time teaching position that required me to earn a degree over a three-year period. I was starting out with only six college credits, but with a wealth of knowledge in both education and business that I thought could translate into university credits. After extensively researching online schools all over North America, I found Liberty University to be the one that would best allow me to turn my experience into college credits. By taking advantage of Liberty’s portfolio program — their I.C.E. exams, CLEP test and DSST test — I have been able to obtain 66 credits toward my degree! This not only saved a considerable amount of time, but was a great cost savings as well.

It has been a real stretch to teach full time, operate my own part-time tax business and pursue my degree all at the same time... but I have had the unconditional support of my husband and family, and Liberty University employees were a great help throughout this time as well. Thank you, Liberty, for helping me turn my experience into credit, secure my career and realize a dream.
