Financial Check-In

Liberty University’s Financial Check-In Process
Liberty University’s Financial Check-In (FCI) process is required for all students to complete each semester to secure their course registration, remit payment, confirm personal information, request book vouchers, and view important policy information. Financial Check-In must be completed, even if a student does not have a balance. Students who complete FCI earlier may receive better payment plan options and the peace of mind knowing that their registration is secure.
Make sure you are aware of your upcoming Financial Check-In deadline by reviewing our academic calendar.

How to Complete Financial Check-In
After you have set up your Liberty Account, registered for classes, and have your financing method ready, you can complete Financial Check-in.

Important Financial Check-In Information
Financial Check-In affects your payment timing , plan options, and course registration. Review the sections below to avoid delays or fees.
When do my payments start?
- Your initial payment will begin processing upon completion of FCI.
- The earlier FCI is completed, the more payment plan options may be available to you.
What if I already have a balance on my account?
- If you have a previous balance on your account, it may need to be resolved in order to complete Financial Check-In or request further course registrations.
- You can check your student account balance using the FCI widget on myLU.
What happens if my charges change after I complete FCI?
- If charges or changes occur after the FCI agreement is in place (that increase or decrease any remaining draft amounts) it is your responsibility to confirm the adjustment of your payment plan.
- This can be accomplished by re-completing FCI and confirming the new draft amounts.
- When you confirm new draft amounts, you will receive an updated Check-In receipt that displays the changed draft amounts.
- If you do not confirm the adjusted drafts, then the previously confirmed draft will be processed.
- An adjustment to your payment plan must be done through the FCI process at least five (5) days before the next scheduled draft date.
Does making a payment stop my next scheduled draft?
- No, a payment made by web, mail, or with a representative in the Student Accounts Office to cover a draft or your balance in full will not prevent the next scheduled draft from being processed.
- It is your responsibility to confirm the adjustment of your payment plan within FCI at least five (5) days before the next scheduled draft date.
What happens if I miss the Financial Check-In deadline?
- If you do not complete FCI by the appropriate deadline, your courses may be dropped, and a $150 late fee may be assessed to your student account.
