Life at Liberty University

Here are some important tips as you begin your studies.

ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS

You are required to maintain satisfactory academic progress throughout your years at Liberty. Failure to do so will result in academic warning, then probation, suspension, and potential dismissal. Below are the minimum grade point averages (GPA) for undergraduate students, which vary by the number of credit hours completed at Liberty: • Level 1 (0–23.99 credit hours) 1.50 Minimum GPA • Level 2 (24–47.99 credit hours) 1.65 Minimum GPA • Level 3 (48–71.99 credit hours) 1.85 Minimum GPA • Level 4 (72 or more credit hours) 2.00 Minimum GPA

NOTE: Classes may be dropped due to nonattendance, which could affect your status.

Keep in mind that being enrolled full time and failing all courses will result in going directly to academic probation, regardless of the student's GPA.

Plagiarism and cheating are never acceptable at Liberty University. What you don’t think is plagiarism may actually be plagiarism by Liberty’s standards. Check with your professors in advance if you are uncertain about using written work from another source.

Please refer to the Academic Policy Handbook at Liberty.edu/Registrar for more information.

CLASS REGISTRATION

Most students have been assigned a class schedule for their first semester. You are required to meet with your Professional Advisor prior to registering for your second semester of classes. Be sure to schedule an appointment with your advisor before registration opens. (To schedule an appointment, visit Liberty.edu/Advising.) The Course Registration Tool, found on myLU, shows you the courses and other requirements you need to complete your degree. Remember the Financial Check-In deadline. You are responsible for staying informed about deadlines!

SCHOLARSHIPS

Outside scholarships can be added to your student account, but no additional Liberty University scholarships will be awarded to you unless you are in one of the following categories: • Athletics • Honors • LEAD Scholarship • Liberty Worship Collective • Resident Assistant • Resident Shepherd Scholarships are valid for eight semesters, excluding New Student Book Dollars and the Early Deposit Award, which are one-time awards only. New Student Book Dollars will expire after two months.

CLEP AND ICE

The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and Institutional Challenge Examination (ICE) let you earn college credit for the knowledge you have already acquired. You may be able to take a test in place of some prerequisite classes. For additional CLEP information, go to Liberty.edu/CLEP. To learn more about ICE exams, visit Liberty.edu/ICEInfo.
