Important Terms To Know

- Access your Liberty University Student Checklist, which contains step-by-step instructions for staying on track with the enrollment process

Claim Your Account
FERPA PIN (Personal Identification Number)
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records.
The private information in your student account — such as grades, class schedules, and financial aid awards — may not be released to anyone without your consent. Creating a FERPA PIN allows you to give your parents or guardians access to this information.
Enrollment Deposit
Most schools require some sort of deposit during the enrollment process — that’s normal. Some use it as a firm RSVP, while others apply it toward housing or something similar.
At Liberty, your Enrollment Deposit serves as a down payment toward your first semester’s tuition. Additionally, submitting your Enrollment Deposit gives you access to additional scholarship funds — up to $10,000 worth! Check out other benefits that will be available to you after submitting your Enrollment Deposit.
Flames Pass
Your Flames Pass is your official student ID card. You’ll use it to:
- Attend campus activities and athletic events
- Check out library books
- Do laundry
- Get into your dorm
- Pay for meals
- Ride the bus
