Liberty University is closely monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak and is taking every precaution necessary to ensure the safety of all students and guests. Therefore, we have decided to cancel all on-campus events through May 31. This includes Daily Campus Tours, College For A Weekend, ExperienceLU, and Graduate Preview Days. We encourage our visitors to schedule their Virtual Admissions Session today to see our campus and get your questions answered with our Admissions Office.
