What You Need to Know

If you have not used SpouseWorks Tuition Assistance before, your first step is to contact a SpouseWorks Counselor at (800) 342-9647 for assistance with getting started. You will need to make sure your MyCAA account is up-to-date, and that you are aware of all the requirements and regulations for you to use SpouseWorks funding.

We’ve outlined a few items below we want you to be aware of as you utilize your Tuition Assistance at Liberty University:

• SpouseWorks requests must be submitted and approved by SpouseWorks between 1 and 60 days prior to the start date of the course. Funding requests cannot be approved outside of this window of time. See the TA Request Timeframe chart for more information.
• You will manually enter the course information on your funding request. Make sure you have all the correct information before you submit your request. The information needed includes:
  • The course subject code and number (ex: ENGL 100)
  • The course title (ex: Basic Composition)
  • The course dates (see the academic calendar for more information)
  • The cost per course (ex: undergraduate cost is $250 per credit hour)
• SpouseWorks requires all students to submit an Education and Training Plan prior to SpouseWorksfunding courses. Please email LUOmilitary@liberty.edu to request a personalized Education and Training Plan. Please be advised that you must be accepted and enrolled in an eligible Associate program before an education and training plan can be created. Please review our webpage to learn more about the SpouseWorks Education Training Plan.
• The GI Bill® (all chapters including Ch. 33 and 35), most outside scholarships, and SpouseWorks funding are not refundable to the student and therefore may need to be adjusted based on the students’ eligibility. If you are planning on using a combination of these benefits within the same semester, please email LUOmilitary@liberty.edu to verify if these types of aid can be combined.
• We will automatically submit your grades to SpouseWorks within 30 days of the course end date. However, it is your responsibility to make sure that SpouseWorks receives this information. Please let us know if you have any concerns about your grades being submitted on time.
• SpouseWorks will only cover an associate’s degree, certification, or licensure program that expands employment and career opportunities. At this time, only Liberty’s associate’s degree programs are eligible for SpouseWorks funding. If you would like to speak with a SpouseWorks counselor regarding their eligibility requirements, you may call (800) 324-9647.
