Travel Reimbursement 3

Get Reimbursed for Traveling to an LU Event

Prospective Student Events

If you travel to a prospective student event (e.g. College For A Weekend (CFAW), ExperienceLU, or DecideLU) via train, rental car, plane, or bus and then enroll as a student, up to $750 of your fare will be applied as a credit to your Liberty University account once you begin your classes. Look for more visiting opportunities here.

Please Note: The only prospective student events that are eligible for travel reimbursement are College For A Weekend (CFAW), DecideLU, and ExperienceLU. This offer does not extend to other events or daily tours. Reimbursement is only applicable to the student’s fare and is only available to undergraduate students.

Reimbursement Instructions

Reimbursements may only be requested after Add/Drop Week. Reimbursement requests must be received by the last day of classes of your first semester.

The following printed information must be brought to a Student Accounts representative in the Student Service Center (no electronic submissions will be approved):

  • Your registration receipt from the event you attended, or the registration confirmation email.
    Don’t have either of these? Come see us anyway! We will take a look through our registration archives for a record of your attendance.
  • Your travel itinerary. This should have your name on it, with dates that correspond to the event for which you attended, as well as the price for your ticket with an itemized list of costs. It should also contain your departure and arrival destinations. If your itinerary does not show that your final destination was Lynchburg, VA., you must provide receipts showing that you rented a car to get to Lynchburg, Va.
