What is a Liberty University Intensive?
Intensives are weeklong on-campus classes where students pursuing one of our Liberty University degree programs are given the opportunity to meet and interact with professors and peers, explore Liberty’s campus, and immerse themselves in the Liberty atmosphere.
For students seeking their master’s degree online, certain degree tracks require, or give as an option, the ability to attend one of our on-campus intensive courses.

Parking On-Campus
Before you arrive on Liberty’s campus in Lynchburg, Va., you will receive a packet of information containing a parking pass, campus map, and other valuable intensive information. This packet will come to you in one of two ways:
- If this is your first time coming to campus for an intensive, you will receive this information by mail.
- If you have been to campus before, you will receive this information via email. The parking pass will be linked to this email, and you will need to print it before you arrive.
When you arrive on campus, ensure that the top portion of your parking pass is filled out and placed on the dashboard of your vehicle. The bottom portion of the pass should be given to one of the hospitality staff members at your intensive class location.
Please note that your car will not be registered with LUPD until you have returned the bottom portion of the parking permit. If you did not receive a temporary parking permit by email or mail, you will need to see a member of the hospitality intensives team to obtain one. Please take a moment to look at the LUPD website and information regarding Liberty University’s intensives parking regulations.
