If you want a bit more guidance on this process, check out our tutorial video to see a step-by-step walk-through, or see the written walk-through below:
Before You Begin
Let’s Get Started
Ensure you are the Primary Contact for your student(s): Only 1 person (parent, guardian, financially responsible party) at a time will have the role or necessary permissions to complete FCI for a student.
At the time of application, that role is given to the Primary Contact.
Claim and use your own account: You, the Primary Contact, must have claimed your account to complete FCI for your student(s).
Log Into the FCI Portal
Step 1
Navigate to the Financial Check-In portal and log in using your own Liberty University username and password.
If you need help at any point in the FCI process, please select the “Help” link in the upper right corner of the screen to see the FCI video tutorial and contact information.
Review Information
Step 2
Once you log into Financial Check-in (FCI), all your associated students and their relevant Academy years should populate on the FCI homepage.
You should see up to 3 sections:
To Do: Any to-do items that populate in this section need action and FCI completion. If you do not see this list, you have no action items.
Unavailable: There are several reasons why an Academy year may not be available, but the specific reason should be indicated on the to-do item. If all relevant Academy years are available, then you will not see this section.
Completed Check-Ins: FCI has been completed for these years, and there are no outstanding action items. If you do not see this section, you do not have any completed check-ins.
Select To-Do List
Step 3
To begin FCI, select the student’s to-do list item for the Academy year and which student you would like to complete FCI for. This should open FCI for the selected student and Academy year.
Verify Information and Selections
Step 4
Once a to-do list item is selected, you will see 3 to 4 sections for the selected student’s Academy year:
Student Information: This section includes your student’s course list for the selected Academy year and the contact information we have on file for the student.
Account Summary: This section displays the account summary for the selected student’s Academy year.
Payment Information: This section will only display if you have a balance or a payment plan. In this section, you can enroll in a payment plan and add or edit a payment method.
Agreements: In this section, you can review and agree to the Parent Agreement, Withdrawal Agreement, and the Financial Check-In Contract and complete check-in.
Agree to Contract
Step 5
To complete FCI, move through each section and select the “Save and Continue” button at the bottom. Finally, read and agree to the Parent Agreement, Withdrawal Agreement, and Financial Check-In Contract.
Complete Any Other Items on the To-Do List
Once FCI is completed successfully, you will be directed back to the FCI homepage where you can select the next to-do list item and continue through until FCI is complete for any additional students you have enrolled.
Once you’ve finished all the steps, congratulations! You have now completed the Financial Check-In process. Please be sure to check your email frequently over the coming weeks to receive important information regarding the start date for your student(s).
Please note: If you enrolled full time and received your registration summary email within the last hour, be sure to review your account summary for accuracy. Something missing? Just refresh the account summary page after 5-10 minutes to allow for all applicable tuition, fees, and any qualified discounts to publish. If FCI is not completed by the Saturday before the start date (EST), courses will be automatically dropped and your student will need to register again for a different start date.
