What is your policy on involuntary activation for military service?
Liberty University will work with all service members whose education schedule may be disrupted as a result of their service. Students are encouraged to first reach out to their professor to request additional time. If the course will not allow for additional time to be granted, or if the orders require a long absence, students may request a military withdrawal. Approved military withdrawals will result in no financial penalty for the student.
