Procedures

Professors have the ability to approve or deny FN Appeal requests. However, appeals should only be considered for approval if the student is able to potentially pass the class based upon the remaining assignments and is able to complete the coursework with an earned grade prior to the established post final grades deadline. The student’s appeal must be submitted through the online form at www.liberty.edu/fnappeal. The student must submit their appeal by the official end date of the course in order to be considered. If the student (1) does not re-engage after the FN appeal, (2) attempts to officially withdraw or (3) receives an Incomplete, the FN will be reposted.
