Campbell accepts The Free Application for Federal Student Aid.

Need is calculated on income and asset information provided by student and parents, as well as family size and number of family members in college. This confidential information is used to determine the amount of assistance offered to our students.

1. Apply for admission to Campbell University. The Campbell University application serves two purposes. The application begins the admissions process and serves as the financial aid data sheet.

2. File a Free Application for Federal Student Aid and request the results be sent to Campbell University, P.O. Box 36, Buies Creek, N.C. 27506. (Campbell University’s Title IV School Code is 002913. The DUNS number is 07-558-6057.)

3. Be accepted for admission to Campbell University as a regular degree-seeking student and/or be making satisfactory academic progress.

4. Transfer students must have an official evaluation by the Campbell University Registrar on file in the financial aid office prior to official offer of financial aid.

5. A new Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be completed each academic year. This should be done as soon as possible after January 1 each year.

A full-time student (minimum 12 hours) will be academically eligible to receive financial assistance under the Federal Title IV programs (Federal Pell Grant Program, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Federal Family Education Loan Program, Federal Work-Study Program, and Federal Perkins Loan Program) and the North Carolina programs (North Carolina Student Incentive Grant Program and the North Carolina State Contractual grant program for needy North Carolina students) if s/he meets the conditions given below. A student who enrolls part-time will have the amount s/he can receive in financial assistance prorated.

Revised April 2002
The Higher Education Act mandates institutions of higher education to establish minimum standards of "Satisfactory Academic Progress." Campbell University makes these standards applicable to all programs funded by the federal government, including Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, Federal Perkins Loans, Federal Work-Study, Federal Stafford Loans, and Federal Parent PLUS Loans. These standards are also applicable to the North Carolina Student Incentive Grant, North Carolina State Contractual Scholarship Fund, North Carolina Loan Program for Health, Science, and Mathematics, and certain university controlled scholarships based in part upon academic ability.

Programs administered by agencies other than Campbell University, such as private scholarships, or grants given by states other than North Carolina, may have their own academic standards for students. Students will need to contact such agencies to find out what those requirements are.

Campbell University Academic and Endowed scholarships have academic requirements that are higher than those in this policy.

Student-Athletes must satisfy the eligibility requirements established by Campbell University and by the NCAA to be eligible for athletically related financial aid.

Federal Regulations require the university to establish SAP standards in the following areas: (1) Cumulative GPA; (2) Cumulative Hours Earned; and (3) Maximum Time Frame. In addition, a school’s SAP policy must include the student’s total academic history.

SAP will be determined one time per academic year, specifically, at the end of each Spring semester. Students wishing to have their progress reevaluated at other times during the year must submit a written request to the financial aid office.

Cumulative GPA
The cumulative number of credits attempted in the undergraduate schools of the university includes those credits attempted as of the last day to drop a course. Multiple attempts of the same course will be counted for each attempt.

In addition, any student with a quality point deficit of 40 or more as calculated by the Registrar will be deemed academically ineligible, and therefore, will be placed directly on Financial Aid Cancellation without a probation period.

Cumulative Hours Earned
A student must pass (earn) at least 70% of their credits attempted (excluding non-credit courses and pass/fail courses).

To earn hours at Campbell University, a student must receive a grade of A, B, C, or D. Any other grade does not earn hours.

Classes in which a student receives a grade of Withdrew Passing (WP) will not be counted as hours attempted nor hours earned, therefore, will not negatively impact a student’s ability to satisfy SAP.

Classes in which a student receives a grade of Withdrew Failing (WF) will be counted as hours attempted but not hours earned, therefore, will negatively impact a student’s ability to satisfy SAP.

Classes in which a student receives a grade of Incomplete (I or IC) count as hours attempted but not as hours earned, therefore, will negatively impact a student’s ability to satisfy SAP.

When a student repeats a course, the total attempted hours will increase with each repeat, but the student will only earn hours for a completed course once. Therefore, repeating classes will negatively impact a student’s ability to satisfy the 70% passage rate, but may significantly increase a student’s cumulative GPA.

Maximum Time Frame
To remain eligible for financial aid, undergraduate students must complete their degree requirements within 150% of the published length of their academic program. At Campbell University, students must complete the requirements for a bachelor’s degree within a maximum number of credits attempted (including transfer credits) of 192.

Included in attempted hours are all coursework attempted, including transfer credits, which consists of passed, repeated, incomplete, failed, and withdrew failing courses. Attempted hours do not include credits earned through Advanced Placement (AP), College Level Examination Program (CLEP), or other similar testing programs.

Consequences
Students who fail to meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress standards will be placed on Financial Aid Probation (FAP) for a period of one academic year. During the FAP year, a student will be eligible to receive financial aid. At the end of the FAP year, students who still do not meet the SAP standards will be placed on Financial Aid Cancellation (FAC). Students who are placed on FAC will be ineligible for financial aid. No student will be allowed more than two (2) semesters of FAP for the duration of his or her undergraduate studies at Campbell.

Transfer students will be evaluated at the time of enrollment using the same SAP standards.

Students returning to Campbell University following a period of absence or FAC must meet Campbell’s SAP policy in order to regain eligibility for financial aid.

The number and amount of these scholarships each year is dependent upon the number of returning recipients and earnings available from the invested principals.

Details concerning application procedures for endowed scholarships may be obtained from the Coordinator of Endowed Scholarships.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants
A limited number of Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants are available to undergraduate students attending Campbell University. Funds for the grants are provided by the federal government. Grants under this program can be awarded to students who: (1) are nationals of the United States; (2) have been accepted for enrollment as half-time or better students; (3) show evidence of making satisfactory academic progress in terms of financial aid; (4) demonstrate an exceptional financial need, with priority awards being made to Federal Pell Grant recipients. Grants under this program vary from $100 to a maximum of $4,000 per year depending upon funds available and the number of eligible recipients.

Federal Work-Study Program
The Federal Work-Study Program (FWS) enables those students who are eligible to have an opportunity to work and earn part of the money necessary to meet their educational expenses. It is an "hours worked, hours paid" type of program. The student approved for FWS is compensated on a monthly basis for the hours that s/he worked during the month. The FWS award is not deducted from a student’s educational charges at the beginning of the semester. Students work in almost all areas of the campus - library, food services, physical plant, dormitories, academic departments, administrative offices, athletics, etc. Student workers are encouraged to arrange work schedules to allow adequate time for their studies. A student’s FWS award depends on "need" along with the amount of funds available for FWS.

Federal Perkins Loan Program
The Federal Perkins Loan Program is a program of borrowing based upon need, which enables a student to borrow an annual loan limit of up to $4,000 per academic year with an aggregate maximum of $20,000 for undergraduates. The amount received annually depends on individual need and funds available. These loans are noninterest bearing while a student is enrolled at least half-time or better.

A Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan is a need-based loan guaranteed by the federal government, which will pay the interest on this type of loan as long as the student maintains at least half-time enrollment status. The government continues to pay the interest during the six-month grace period.

A Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan is a non-need-based loan. Unlike the Subsidized Stafford Loan, interest on the Unsubsidized Stafford, which begins to accrue at the time of disbursement, is the responsibility of the student. Students have the option to (1) make payments on the interest while enrolled; or (2) have their lender capitalize interest while enrolled. Note: Origination and insurance fees of up to 4 % may be deducted from loan proceeds by the lender.

Federal PLUS Loan Program
This is a loan program for parents. Annual loan limits are cost of education minus other aid awarded to the student. Interest rate on the loan is variable (based on 52-week Treasury Bills auctioned prior to June 1, plus 3.1 percent) capped at 9 percent. Note: Origination and insurance fees of up to 4 % may be deducted from the loan proceeds by the lender.

Veterans’ Administration Requirements
In addition to all other institutional policies and regulations, students who receive education benefits from the Veterans’ Administration must comply with the policies of the Veterans’ Administration and the State Approving Agency for the training and education of students receiving VA education benefits. These policies include the following requirements:

·The student must be fully matriculated prior to certification to the Veterans’ Administration as eligible to receive benefits.

·A student will receive full-time benefits for 12 semester hours or more of work attempted, three-fourths time benefits for 9-11.5 semester hours of work, one-half time benefits for 6-8 semester hours of work, and reimbursement for tuition and fees for 1-5 semester hours of work. This schedule is applicable only to the standard semester generally used by the University.

·Summer school, adult evening programs, and other undergraduate campus sites with different academic calendars will be computed on an individual basis.

·Only courses required to complete the program of education or remaining elective courses in the individual’s curriculum may be counted in qualifying for VA education benefits.

·A student may repeat a course and receive VA education benefits if an "F" grade was received, but not for a course for which a grade of "D" or better was received.

·Campbell University awards credit for Continuing Education units.

It is the individual student’s responsibility to advise the Veterans’ Affairs Office of the University at the beginning of each semester or term of the courses for which the student has registered. In addition, it is the student’s responsibility to advise the Veterans’ Affairs Office of any change in the student’s status, such as dropping or adding courses or withdrawal from the school after a semester or term has started.

If a student does not make "Satisfactory Progress" as defined in the University’s Financial Aid or Admissions requirements in this Bulletin, VA education benefits will be terminated concurrently with the cancellation of Federal Title IV financial assistance.

Army ROTC Scholarship and Funds
The Army ROTC Scholarship program is designed to offer financial assistance to outstanding young men and women motivated toward being an Army Officer. Some of these Army scholarships pay 100% of required tuition and provide an allowance each year toward books and supplies. In addition it provides a subsistence allowance each month for ten months of each scholarship year. Four, three and two-year scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis. The four-year scholarship is for incoming freshmen and is applied for July through November of their senior year in high school. Four-year applications may be obtained by writing: Army ROTC, Fort Monroe, VA 23351.

Information concerning three and two-year scholarships may be obtained from the Department of Military Science at Campbell University, tel. 1-800-334-4111, ext. 1509 or 1587.

All Advanced Course ROTC students (Juniors and Seniors) without scholarships receive a monthly allowance during 10 months of each year.

Campbell University provides each ROTC scholarship recipient an additional scholarship designed to cover the costs of on-campus room and board, however, the student’s complete financial aid package will not exceed total cost of education.

North Carolina State Contractual Scholarships (SCSF)
These grants are available for residents of the State of North Carolina who have financial need. Eligibility is determined by the Financial Aid Office. These grants are made possible by appropriations from the North Carolina State Legislature.

North Carolina Student Incentive Grant (NCSIG)
The legislature of North Carolina has appropriated funds to establish grants to North Carolina residents who have significant financial need. The North Carolina funds match federal funds. To be considered for NCSIG, a student must apply through the FAFSA prior to March 15. Funding for this grant is based upon federal and state appropriations.

Vocational Rehabilitation
Students who are residents of North Carolina and have physical or emotional disabilities should contact the State Rehabilitation Commission for assistance.
