Step 2 – Submit Your Global Liberty Admission Documents

Once you have applied to an online degree program, you will need to send your transcripts and other required documents for the Global Liberty admission process. Students can be accepted into most programs with unofficial transcripts, but official college transcripts must be submitted within 60 days of acceptance or prior to non-attendance drops for the first set of matriculated classes, whichever occurs first.

Please note: Unofficial transcripts can only be used for acceptance purposes when a transcript request form is also submitted.

You can fill out and submit the Transcript Request Form, and we will determine if we can request your official transcripts for you at no cost to you. If you have a military service background, please see the military transfers page to find out more about requesting military transcripts for the online admission process.

Please keep in mind that transcript requirements differ depending on degree level. Global Liberty admissions may also require additional documents. Visit your specific program admissions page to learn more. Here are the general requirements for each program level for the Global Liberty admission process:

  • Willmington School of the Bible (WSB) – You will need to fill out a high school self-certification form. Please visit our WSB page for more information about this online religious studies diploma.

Step 3 – Start the Financial Aid Process

Get started setting up your financial aid by following the below steps and submitting the forms that apply to you. As an accredited university, eligible students may use federal and private grants and aid. Make sure you have your FAFSA completed prior to class registration. Even if you intend to pay out-of-pocket through one of Global Liberty’s interest-free payment plans, have military benefits, or have corporate tuition assistance, you may be eligible for additional benefits through financial aid.

Submit Your FAFSA

You can complete your FAFSA using your FSA ID username and password and with Global Liberty’s school code (010392). You must complete the FAFSA to be considered for financial aid. If you have more questions or concerns about the FAFSA, see more about the FAFSA. Types of aid can include:

Step 5 – Complete Financial Check-in

Once you are registered for classes, you can complete Financial Check-in. Keep in mind:

  • It takes 3-5 business days for your FAFSA to be processed and on file.
  • You will have more payment options available to you the earlier you complete Financial Check-In.
  • If pursuing a graduate program or higher, ask about redeeming a book voucher with your financial aid.
