Transfer Policy

Students that transfer to Campbell University and declare a major in Athletic Training must complete the same application process as all other students. Admissions policies related to transferring to Campbell University can be accessed at http://www.campbell.edu/admissions/transfer/ and the Registrar’s policies for transfers can be found at http://www.campbell.edu/registrar-policies.html.

 Upon acceptance to the University, an official evaluation will be completed by the registrar. This evaluation will determine which credits will transfer as well as the courses they will serve to replace at Campbell. The registrar's evaluation is the student’s official record of transferable credits.

Transfer students that wishing to be admitted to the Athletic Training Education Program must complete the same ATEP application process as all other ATEP applicants. Transfer student transcripts are further reviewed by the Program Director to determine if the transcript includes courses that meet ATEP requirements. Acceptable course substitutions are submitted for subsequent approval by the Chair of the Department of Exercise Science and the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.

Once admitted to the program, athletic training students must meet all guidelines set forth in the University’s Undergraduate Bulletin and remain in “good standing” with the ATEP as delineated in the program’s retention standards.
