Refer to Undergraduate and Graduate Studies transfer policies. Unaccredited: Domestic higher education institutions not regionally or nationally accredited by an agency officially recognized by the U.S. Department of Education (ED). These institutions must go through an internal vetting process before they can be approved for transfer credit. If approved, refer to Undergraduate and Graduate Studies transfer policies. International Higher Education Institutions: International higher education institutions are defined as non-U.S. institutions that provide postsecondary instruction that aims to culminate in the award of a degree, diploma, or certificate of higher studies. College-level academic coursework completed outside of the U.S. must first be evaluated by a credential evaluation service provider that is a member of the National Association of Credential Services (NACES). All standard Undergraduate and Graduate Studies transfer policies will apply to the course-by-course transcript evaluation completed by Transfer Evaluations. Experiential Learning: Liberty University recognizes that learners have valuable experiences that they bring to the academic environment of higher education. For that reason, LU believes students should receive college credit for learning that can be demonstrated through experience via our Experience Plus Program. Transfer policy standards are applied to Experiential learning evaluations as applicable. Certifications Certificate Programs: academic departments vet curriculum, learning outcomes, and instructor’s qualifications for certificate programs and make a recommendation for transfer credit equivalencies in accordance with university’s transfer policies. Professional Experience: academic departments vet professional experience, job skills, and industry-recognized experience and make recommendations for transfer credit equivalencies. Credit by Examination Institutional Challenge Examinations (ICE): ICE is available to students with a satisfactory justification of previous knowledge in a subject area based upon a non-college training program, job experience, or self-learning. Students must successfully complete the examination to earn college credit. Advanced Placement (AP): AP is a College Board program geared for high school students seeking to earn college credit and preparedness. The Transfer Evaluations department generally reviews all AP offerings on a yearly basis and creates a transfer equivalency sheet. College-Level Examination Program (CLEP): CLEP provides students an opportunity to gain college credit for acquired knowledge and skills through a testing process.

DANTES Subject Standardized Test (DSST): DSST tests provides students an opportunity to earn college credit for learning acquired outside the traditional classroom.

This process is typically geared toward students who have field experience. Students are required to complete a series of essay-type questions and encouraged to provide supplementary documentation that will help them demonstrate competency in the subject. The requests are reviewed by qualified faculty members within the specific academic departments who use a grading rubric to assess student’s competencies in the different disciplines. Military Experience: Liberty University provides evaluations of military training and experience for college credit. All credit granted for military training and experienced is given based on the American Council on Education (ACE) guidebook, A Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services and qualified faculty members within the specific academic departments at Liberty University. Liberty University accepts military transcripts, certificates of completion, and most official documents that demonstrate prior military training and experience for consideration of transfer credit (including the DD214, 2-1, 2Z, or DD295). Other Online-course Providers (non-traditional institutions): Liberty University recognizes non-traditional or non-institutional credit that students may have completed or are seeking to complete. LU accepts courses from other online-course providers based on the American Council on Education (ACE) guide and the recommendations of qualified faculty members within the specific academic departments at Liberty University. Ministry Partnership Program: Rawlings School of Divinity (SOD) works with ministry partners directly to determine if the experiential and classroom training they provide can be awarded transfer credit through an internal vetting process. Ministry partners are not higher education unaccredited institutions. Initial Vetting: SOD sets an initial call to discuss the process and follows-up with an application document to understand doctrinal statement, mission, purpose, and philosophy of education of the ministry. Decision: SOD decides to move or not to move forward with the partnership. If yes, the decision is communicated to Online Provost, Enrollment Management, and Registrar’s Office. Initial Evaluation: SOD reviews academic content of the training in question to determine if it aligns with LU course objectives and makes an initial recommendation on transfer equivalencies. Secondary Evaluation: Information is sent to Admissions Verification and Registrar’s Office for a second review. Transfer team reviews the proposed transfer equivalencies and provides additional feedback. SOD develops the additional website information and works with Enrollment Management for dissemination of the information. Final Decision: MOU is generated and signed by Liberty University and ministry partner. Approvals are updated on Experience Plus website. The above procedures for the evaluation of transfer credit are established in collaboration with faculty who provide academic oversight to ensure alignment with curriculum standards, institutional goals, and accreditation requirements. Faculty responsibilities include participating in legislative processes for determining course transferability, reviewing submissions through the Transfer Suite, and evaluating experiential learning offerings. This collaboration maintains consistency, academic integrity, and compliance with regulatory expectations.
