All students are given a ‘Skip’ to use at their discretion to miss Convocation once a semester. Please notify your RA in advance if you will be using your Skip. If you need to request an exemption to miss Convocation more than once, please note the following:

    • On-Campus Students: For work-, class-, or travel-related absences known ahead of time, please submit a Permission Form on the Community Life webpage to request an exemption at least 48 hours in advance. For emergency situations, please direct your exemption request to residencelife@liberty.edu.

If you miss Convocation and wish to appeal the violation assigned, simply click on the link provided in the violation email from the Office of Community Life and submit your appeal within 48 hours. If you missed Convocation for a doctor’s appointment, please be sure to email your doctor’s note to your Resident Director after submitting your appeal.
