Access (adult) students are 25 years of age or older.
Please note that at this time, we do not offer online courses and we are only able to offer a small number of evening courses.
If you are transferring from another school, you must be in good academic and social standing and have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher for any college courses.
Competitive applicants have typically completed college-level coursework in mathematics (at or above the Algebra II level), English composition, history for western/world civilizations, and any additional general education subject areas. The admissions committee may consider both the high school and college record in reviewing applicants.
Access undergraduate students receive a tuition discount: tuition is $510 per credit hour.
Step 1: Apply
Application Deadlines
Fall semester: July 31

Applications submitted after these deadlines will be considered depending upon space availability.
Step 2: Submit Your Application Materials
Send the application materials with your application, or separately via mail.
The following are required in order to complete your application:
- Official college transcripts
Transcripts must be mailed directly from the registrar’s office of each college/university you have attended. Concealing previous attendance at a post-secondary institution is considered an honor code violation and will result in the cancellation of your application and admission. - Official high school transcripts or GED results
Required only if you have taken less than 25 credit hours of graded coursework at the college level. - $30 application fee (for paper applications only)
The items below are strongly recommended, but they are not required. These items can be sent via mail, or emailed to admissions@lynchburg.edu:
- Letter of recommendation
From a college professor, employer, or someone who can speak to your ability to succeed at the University. There is no special form required. - Personal essay
Discuss your personal goals and reasons for wanting to attend University of Lynchburg. - Admission Counseling
