Our Course Format Flexible Online Courses Built Around Your Family
Course Options
Education That Fits Your Needs
Your student’s education doesn’t always follow a traditional school calendar. Whether you’re planning for the fall, considering a change during the school year, or looking for an online option that gives your family more flexibility, Liberty University Online Academy (LUOA) offers course formats designed with different circumstances in mind.
Explore how full-year and partial-year courses work, what to expect from your student’s schedule, and the options available if you’re joining LUOA after the school year has already begun.
A change in schools doesn’t always happen neatly between one academic year and the next. That’s why LUOA offers options for students beginning at different points throughout the school year.
Full-Year Courses
Starting at the beginning of the school year?
Standard LUOA courses give students up to 41 weeks to complete a full academic year of coursework. Students can access their coursework online 24/7 without set daily login times, giving your family room to build a school routine that works for you.
Best for: Students beginning LUOA at the start of the academic year.
Partial-Year Enrollment
Joining LUOA after the school year has started?
Your student may not need to wait until the next academic year. Pending a records review, students can join most courses at designated points during the school year, including the second quarter, second semester, and fourth quarter.
These shortened courses cover the remaining portion of the school year, and tuition is prorated based on the length of the course.
Best for: Students transferring to LUOA during the academic year.
Dual Enrollment
Looking to complete college courses in high school?
High school students can get a head start on college through LUOA’s Dual Enrollment program. In partnership with Liberty University Online, eligible students can take college-level courses while still in high school and earn college credit.
LUOA has worked to ensure that our dual enrollment courses meet the requirements to be approved by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) for Division I athletic program participation at the college level.
Best for: students looking to get a jump start on college or even complete an Associate of Arts degree while in high school.
Enhanced Courses
Need additional support during classes?
Enhanced Courses include weekly recorded teaching and tutorial sessions, scheduled assignment deadlines, teacher check-ins, and other features designed to provide additional structure.
Enhanced Courses have designated start dates, so families should review the current schedule when considering this option.
LUOA has worked to ensure that our enhanced courses meet the requirements to be approved by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) for Division I athletic program participation at the college level.
Best for: students who benefit from additional instruction and support from a live teacher.
Prorated Tuition
When you enroll in a partial-year course, tuition is prorated based on the start date – so you only pay for the portion of the course your student will attend.
