Welcome to LUOA! Below we’ll walk you through every step of the admission process – from submitting an application to preparing for your student’s first day of class.
If you have questions at any point during this process, give us a call at (866) 418-8741 – we are happy to help!
Submit an Admission Application
Step 1
Apply to the K-12 track that best meets your student’s needs. An admission application can be submitted online, via live chat, or over the phone!
One of the sections on the online application will ask for information about your student’s grade level and enrollment status. For this section, you’ll need to provide the following information:
First, you’ll select what grade your student is in (Kindergarten-12th grade).
Next, you’ll select their enrollment status. If your student will be taking all of their classes with us, you’ll select full time. If they are only taking a few classes with us to supplement their education through another school/homeschool, you’ll select part time.
Lastly, if your student is in high school, you’ll be asked whether they plan to take any Dual Enrollment courses – which give 11th and 12th graders the opportunity to earn college credit during high school. For more information on Dual Enrollment classes and admission, visit our Dual Enrollment page.
There is no upfront application fee; however, a deferred $25 application fee will be assessed during Financial Check-In.
Please note: 11th- and 12th-grade students will need to submit a birth certificate as part of the admission process. Students applying to LUOA must be between the ages of 4-19.
Students applying to Kindergarten must reach the age of 5 on or before September 30 of the school year for which they are applying.
Students who are 19 years old, and who will not be 20 on or before August 1 of the school year in which they are applying, are only eligible to enter LUOA if they have successfully completed 11th grade and are entering as a senior.
Students who will be 20 years of age on or before August 1 of the school year in which they are applying will not be permitted to enroll in Liberty University Online Academy.
Once you’ve claimed your Student and Parent Accounts, you’ll be given access to a Student Onboarding Checklist through your Parent Account. This checklist provides a convenient, personalized list of all the remaining forms and steps needed to finish the enrollment process for your student. Through this checklist, you can see exactly which documents are required for admission – including all the relevant forms, applications, websites, and contact information needed to submit each document.
Haven’t claimed your account yet? If so, you can still see the documents needed for admission by visiting our Admission Requirements page. That way, you can start getting all of your student’s documents in order – so you’ll be ready to submit everything once you’ve claimed your account and received a personalized Student Onboarding Checklist.
Register for Courses
Step 4
If your student is enrolling part time (only taking a few classes with us to supplement their education elsewhere), you’ll be able to register them for classes yourself using our Course Registration Tool.
If your student is enrolling full time (taking all of their classes with us), there will be a couple extra steps to make sure they are taking all the courses needed to stay on track:
First, we will review your student’s academic records.
Next, we’ll discuss your student’s schedule with you via phone, email, and/or chat to finalize the selection of your student’s upcoming courses.
Lastly, with your approval, we’ll register your student for the agreed-upon classes.
Complete Financial Check-In (FCI)
Step 5
Once your student is registered for courses, you will receive an email with instructions on how to complete Financial Check-In (FCI). FCI will need to be completed via your Parent Account.
If you have any questions during the FCI process, call us at (866) 418-8741, and we will be happy to help!
You’ll receive an email with instructions on how to access the curriculum prior to your student’s official start date. We will send this email to all email addresses that are listed on your student’s file, including your student’s new Liberty email address (username@liberty.edu).
Please be sure to check your email frequently in the weeks before your student’s start date to ensure you don’t miss any important information regarding your student’s upcoming LUOA school year.

Be sure to review the following materials before your student’s courses start:
LUOA offers a 30-day risk-free trial of our program! That way, you can see whether our school is a good fit for your student. If you choose to withdraw your student before their second month of classes begins, we will issue a full refund of the tuition you’ve paid.
