All associated access privileges will be removed from your Flames Pass once you are no longer a student. If you have a Flames Cash balance upon graduation, you can spend those funds prior to the end of your last semester or request balances greater than $25.00 be refunded, as noted in the terms and conditions. If you transfer to another participating program or department at Liberty University, your credentials will stay active and be updated accordingly.

Please email CampusServices@liberty.edu if you would like to close your Flames Cash account upon graduation or termination from the university.

No. There is no need to remove your mobile pass from your phone while you are a residential student or active faculty/staff. You can continue to use your Mobile Flames Pass for any granted access or spend Flames Cash during these times.

The Mobile Flames Pass is the primary version of the Flames Pass used across campus, and we encourage students to enjoy its benefits. However, under extenuating circumstances, we do allow students to switch to a physical card. For assistance, visit ID & Campus Services located in the Montview Student Union, Room 1720. Please note that you will be subject to the Terms and Conditions of physical card replacement (currently $25.00), and your Mobile Flames Pass will be deactivated.

Don’t worry! There may be a short delay of up to 30 minutes between the time you set up your Mobile Flames Pass and your access being granted to your dorm, workplace, or other applicable locations around campus.

Visit the Liberty IT Password Recovery webpage for assistance.

Instructions can be found on the Liberty University IT Multi-Factor Authentication webpage.

No, your physical Flames Pass card will no longer function after you have downloaded and switched to your Mobile Flames Pass. Remember, the Mobile ID is a privilege and benefit of being part of the Liberty University community. Anyone found to be misusing their physical card or Mobile ID will be subject to the applicable student Code of Conduct or Human Resources policies regarding fraud and/or misconduct.

No, the Mobile Flames Pass is your primary Liberty University ID. For security purposes, you cannot have multiple credential types active at once.
