Dates and Deadlines

Liberty University’s academic school year consists of three semesters: Fall, Spring, and Summer. We have two campuses from which to select courses: Residential and Online.

Residential courses are held on campus and span the entire semester. Online courses are offered in various sub-terms (A, B, C, and D).

This chart shows when terms start and end within the span of a semester.

17-Week Resident term. 14/17-Week A Term. 8-Week B Term that starts at the beginning of the semester. 8-Week C Term that takes place mid semester. 8-Week D term at the end of the semester.

Upcoming Dates and Deadlines

The charts below list relevant upcoming dates and deadlines for military students. These deadlines are set to ensure efficient processing of Tuition Assistance and Veterans Affairs forms and benefits before the Financial Check-In deadline of a given term. The Office of Military Affairs will still process forms and benefits after the established TA/VA form deadline; however, it cannot be guaranteed that late forms will be processed in time for Financial Check-In to be completed by the deadline or to avoid the late Financial Check-In fee.

For more information on Financial Check-In, please see our Financial Check-In Guide for military students.
