Liberty NCAA Counseling:
Liberty students who are interested in pursuing eligibility for college athletics are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to contact their counselor as early on as possible in their high school career. Eligibility is determined by multiple athletics requirements that must be met BEFORE a student enters his/her senior year. Students who do not self-identify to a school counselor as potential collegiate athletes prior to the start of their junior year in high school COULD jeopardize their eligibility to compete at the NCAA Division I or Division II level.
