Online Academy Tuition and Fees

Tuition Rates

At Liberty University Online Academy (LUOA), we strive to provide flexible, affordable academic programs that can help each student reach their full potential. No matter what grade level your student is in, each course is billed at $549 for a full-year course. While you can choose to pay one lump sum, we also offer flexible payment plans that allow your student to access LUOA’s courses for a low monthly rate. A nonrefundable, interest-free $50 payment plan fee is assessed upon acceptance of a payment plan, and the $50 is factored into the monthly payment section below:

*Enhanced Courses are available at the High School level for an additional $99 per course (full year) or $49.50 for a half-year.

**Your high school student will take either 6 or 7 courses per year. 6.5 is an average of the two. 

Tuition Rates for Accelerated Courses

Perhaps your student began the school year somewhere else, but you’ve since decided that it’s time to explore other options. Accelerated courses allow your student to complete certain, partial sections of a full-length course. For students who enroll accordingly, tuition is prorated and outlined below:

Tuition Rates for Dual Enrollment Courses

As part of our commitment to making education affordable, our dual enrollment courses allow your student to earn college credit for a reasonable price. While a semester of courses at a 4-year college can cost thousands of dollars, LUOA offers college-level courses for a much lower rate.
