Q: How do I know if my credits will transfer?
A: Liberty will evaluate your credits based on official college transcripts. Please allow two weeks for your transcript to be evaluated and the results to be emailed to your Liberty email account. To access your Liberty email, just click "Webmail" after logging into the Liberty portal.
*If you attended a community college in Virginia you can see what credits will transfer into Liberty in our VCCS transfer guide.

Q: What courses should I take before transferring?
A: Liberty is not able to guarantee that specific courses will transfer. If you look in the course catalog, you can estimate for yourself by looking at the course descriptions. If the courses match up 80%, it is likely that the course will transfer.
*If you attend a community college in Virginia you can look at our VCCS transfer guide to find courses pre-approved for transfer.

Q: Do I have to submit my high school transcript? SAT/ACT?
A: If you have an associate’s degree or over 60 hours that transfer to Liberty, you are only required to submit your official college transcript. If you do not have an associate’s degree and you are unsure of how many credits will transfer, we recommend sending your high school transcript and your SAT/ACT score as a precaution. If you are 22 or older, an SAT/ACT score is not required.
