Faith, Community, and Opportunity – The Liberty Experience
Since the day God blessed you with your child, you’ve dedicated your life to raising them and preparing them for their future. Helping them choose the right college can feel overwhelming, but we want to support you every step of the way. So, here’s our commitment to you. We will:
- Communicate clearly and consistently to keep you informed
- Provide access to your student’s onboarding checklist so that you can know what is needed next
- Streamline the process to remove any steps that may be unnecessary for your student
While this may be your first time navigating the college selection journey, we’ve guided thousands of families through it — and we’re excited to walk alongside you too!
Track Your Student’s Admission Journey
At Liberty University, we make it easy for parents to stay informed in their college student’s admission journey. Through Shared Access, you can gain permission to view key aspects of your student’s account without needing to log in as them. This feature lets you view resources like the Student Onboarding Checklist (SOC) in View-Only mode, providing the information you need to support your student without altering their account.
Shared Access ensures that collaborators, such as parents, have a streamlined and secure way to stay up to date. You can still use this feature even if you don’t have a Liberty Network Account. Learn how to set up Shared Access by watching the video or following the Access Checklist.
