Are there any exemptions to the $170 Student Health Fee?

      • The Student Health Fee is built into your tuition each semester. Although there is no exemption for the fee prior to financial check-in, a student may appeal the Student Health Fee for semesters where one or both conditions listed below are met during the semester:
        • If you are involved in a program that keeps you away from Liberty’s campus for more than half of the semester, i.e., practicum, internship, study abroad.
        • If you are a local commuter student who resides outside of the Central Virginia area. The Central Virginia region includes all addresses within the counties of Amherst, Appomattox, Bedford, Forest, Campbell, and Roanoke, as well as the cities of Lynchburg and Bedford.
      • Please note:
        • Students may request an exemption until the final day of each semester’s classes.
        • If your degree/program is considered residential and you are taking all online courses, you are required to pay the Student Health Fee due to your enrollment status.
