Tips for Transferring to Liberty University

I'm considering transferring to Liberty University and wanted to gather some insights on the process. I've done some research, but I'm curious about personal experiences—how was the transition, especially in terms of transferring credits?

What should I keep in mind to make the transfer as smooth as possible? Are there specific resources or advisors at Liberty that are particularly helpful? Any tips or advice from students who have successfully transferred there would be really helpful!

Transferring to a new university can be a complex process, but with some careful planning and organization, you can make it smoother.

When it comes to transferring credits, you'll want to ensure as many of your credits as possible will be accepted at Liberty. Start by reviews Liberty University's Transfer Evaluation System (TES) which provides a database of courses from many colleges that are pre-approved for transfer to Liberty.

Keep in mind that Liberty only accepts transfer credits from regionally accredited institutions, and requires that a grade of ‘C’ or better was received in the course. There are exceptions for specific programs so it's important to double-check transfer details for your specific area of study.

The transition for each student will differ greatly, but forming relationships can ease the process. Reach out to the dedicated transfer admissions counselors at Liberty who work specifically with students like you. They can guide you through the process and ensure you're on the right track. In addition, the Online Writing Center and Tutor.com are great academic resources for students.

Don't forget to use your past experiences to your advantage. Use your course syllabi, assignments, papers, and other relevant materials to showcase what you've learned and how it can benefit you in your new program at Liberty.

Get actively involved in the school’s community. Liberty University has a lot to offer outside the classroom with its vibrant community life. This will be paramount in helping you to adjust to your new environment and to meet new people.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, remember to remain patient. Transferring can take time, especially when it comes to receiving answers about financial aid, housing, and credit evaluation.

Remember that transfer students are a valued part of the Liberty community, and many services are available to help you settle in. Good luck with your transfer!
