How Does Liberty’s Admission Process Work?

A.S.I.S.T. stands for Automated Student Information Services Tool. This is Liberty’s internal system that helps your child:

• Keep their personal information up-to-date
• Complete Financial Check-In (FCI)
• Monitor their student records

Most schools to require some sort of deposit during the enrollment process — that’s normal. Some use it as a firm RSVP, others apply it toward housing or something similar.

At Liberty, the Enrollment Deposit gives you access to additional scholarship funds — possibly up to $10,000 worth! And the earlier you submit it, the more benefits you have available.

What kinds of benefits?

• The opportunity to live like a college student for four days on Liberty’s campus in Lynchburg, Va., at College For A Weekend (CFAW). Come as a family – your student will attend classes, stay in a dorm, eat in our award-winning dining hall, and hear from a leading influencer in entertainment, business, government, or ministry — for free! (saving you $50)
• A free application! When you call and speak to an admissions counselor, your student can apply and submit their Enrollment Deposit at the same time — and the app fee will be on us (saving you another $50).
• And a $2,000 Early Deposit Award applied to your child’s first year at Liberty.

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’s account — such as grades, class schedules, and financial aid awards — may not be released to anyone without their consent (if they are 18 years old or above). Creating a PIN for their FERPA account allows them to give you access to this information.

In order to be considered for federal grants, work study, loans, or Liberty University scholarships, you must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

FCI is how you process your payment for each semester. When you complete it, you will:

• Confirm your student’s course schedule
• Secure their housing
• Choose their dining option

The earlier you complete FCI, the more payment plan options are available.

The Flames pass is your student’s official student ID card. They’ll use it…

• As a key to get into their dorm
• To pay for meals
• To do laundry
• To check out library books
• As a bus pass
• To get into campus activities and athletic events
