The Admission Process
Step 1 – Submit Your Admission Application
Apply to the track that best meets your needs. Whether you are interested in our full- or part-time K-12 , full- or part-time Dual Enrollment, full-time K-8, full-time high school, or even an associate degree track, LUOA is excited to partner with you on your educational journey. An admission application can be submitted online or over the phone with an admissions counselor by calling (866) 418-8741.
Step 2 – Claim Your Account
Claiming your student’s account is an important step in the admissions process. Claiming your student’s account will generate a username and password for him or her to access the curriculum.
Step 3 – Submit Your Admission Documents
After you claim your student’s account, the documents you submit may differ depending on the specific track that you have applied for:
Up to date records need to be sent to LUOAdocuments@liberty.edu. In most cases for K-8 students, this is satisfied with their most recent report card. Official records are not required at the time of admission, but must be submitted no later than the end of the student’s first year.

Step 4: Meet with an Admissions Counselor and Register for Courses
After your student claims his or her account, Admissions will review your student’s records to determine if he or she will need to take an entrance exam. We will discuss your student’s upcoming courses with you after the student completes the exam. Upon your approval, the admissions counselor will register your student for classes on the selected start date.
Step 5: Complete Financial Check-In (FCI).
The final step is to complete Financial Check-In (FCI). After you are registered for courses, you will receive an email with instructions on how to complete this. After completing FCI, an orientation course will become available to your student. You will receive instructions for accessing the curriculum via email by your student’s official start date. We will send the email to all email addresses on your student’s file. This will include 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 concerning your student’s upcoming LUOA school year.
For questions about Financial Check-In, please call your admissions counselor at 866-418-8741 (option #2, then #1) or Student Accounts at 866-418-8741 (option #2, then option #2 again).
