Official Transcript Request How to Request and Submit Your Official Transcripts
Transcript Direction – What You’re Requesting and Why It Matters
Understanding the difference between ordering a transcript from Liberty University and submitting a transcript request to Liberty is important for processing your records correctly.
When you order a transcript from Liberty, you are asking the Registrar’s Office to issue your official academic record for use by another institution, employer, or organization.
By contrast, when Liberty requests an official transcript to be sent to us from another college or university, you are authorizing that institution to send your academic record to Liberty for admissions or transfer evaluation. These are distinct requests with different instructions and endpoints, so choosing the correct process helps ensure your documents arrive where they need to be without delay.
Liberty University’s Official Transcript Request Process for Online Degree Programs Is Easy
We are excited to have you as a Liberty University student! As part of your admission requirements, you need to submit official transcripts from previous college(s) or universities that you have attended. To help you meet this requirement, Liberty University will make every effort to request official transcripts on your behalf.
If your previous institution does not allow third-party requests, we will notify you to request the transcript yourself. Additionally, if you have an outstanding balance at your previous institution, we will be unable to process your request.
To begin this process, please complete the Official Transcript Request Form below. You will be required to log in or sign in as a guest to complete this process.

What Is an Official Transcript?
An official transcript is the certified record from a college’s registrar’s office (or records office) of all coursework a student has attempted.
An official transcript should include:
- The school’s name
- The student’s name
- Courses taken
- Cumulative GPA
- Dates attended
- Degree awarded
- Date conferred (if applicable)
- Credits earned (broken down by semester)
Please note: If you have a copy of your official transcript in your possession and have opened the envelope, the transcript is no longer considered official.
If you have not opened the envelope, it can be mailed to:
LUO Admissions Verification
1971 University Blvd
Lynchburg, VA 24515
An official transcript can also be submitted through an electronic transcript database provider such as Escript, Parchment, National Student Clearinghouse, or others. This electronic transcript should be sent directly to Liberty via your school’s system. If an email address is requested, use luoverify@liberty.edu.
Liberty’s Processing Timeline for the Official Transcript Request Form
Once your transcript request has been received, the processing time will depend on your previous institution’s response. After Liberty University receives your official transcript from your previous institution, we will complete a transfer credit evaluation within an estimated 1-2 business days, and the transfer credit will be applied to your file. A complete list of transfer credits will be available via your myLU account.
Liberty will reach out 3 times to an institution. After 3 unsuccessful attempts, it will be your responsibility to contact the school. Official transcripts are required within 60 days of your admissions decision or before non-attendance drops for the first set of matriculated classes, whichever comes first.
