Selection for admission involves several considerations including grades, course selection, class rank, test scores, activities, and recommendations. Academic record or ability is not by itself sufficient qualification for the admission of any applicant. A student can obtain an application to Campbell University from many different sources:

Admission Requirements Full admission to freshman-level study requires the following:
Official Enrollment: A student is officially enrolled by (1) being accepted and notified by the Admissions Office, (2) making satisfactory financial arrangements with the Business Office, and (3) registering at the appropriate time. The University reserves the right to reject any application without explanation. Full Admission: Admitted as a freshman, transfer, or special student with no conditions that have to be removed prior to graduation. Probational Admission: In certain instances the Admissions Committee may exercise its reasonable discretion in offering Probational Admission to students whose portfolio does not meet the criteria normally expected for admission (e.g., lack of SAT/ACT scores). In such cases, the Admissions Committee may normally require removal of one or more conditions prior to enrolling or to commencing e second semester's work. Examples include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) take further pre-college or college work during the summer or semester prior to the beginning of freshman year; (2) be evaluated for placement in English, mathematics, or foreign language; (3) demonstrate proficiency in or mastery of specified subject matter; (4) complete the official documentation in the applicant file. Academic Support Program: A program of special academic assistance is required for students with composite SAT scores from the math and verbal sections in the range of 850-950, for other students with demonstrated weaknesses in English and/or mathematics, and for all students whose high school record warrant special concern and attention. The major components of this program are a limit of 13.5 semester hours during the first semester of enrollment, an assignment to specific courses in English and mathematics, and/or requiring a stated grade point average (GPA) be earned at the conclusion of a specified period of enrollment. Advanced Enrollment Deposit for All New Students Campbell University requires all new students to deposit $100 within two weeks of their acceptance notification. This deposit 1) secures their space in the classroom and 2) serves as a security deposit on their residence hall occupancy. A student may request an extension on the deposit until May 1st of the year the student plans to enroll. This allows the student to defer payment of the deposit until the date specified without penalty. The request for an extension must be submitted in writing to the Office of Admissions for approval. This deposit is refundable with a written request made prior to July 1st -for those students enrolling for the fall semester and by December 1st -for those students enrolling for the spring semester. The deposit is not a fee but actually will be credited toward the student’s semester charges on their business office account. Credit Earned by High School Students High school students may take courses for credit at Campbell University or other accredited colleges/ community colleges provided such work is approved under the applicable state and federal laws in place at the time of application for enrollment. Credit for courses successfully completed will be granted after the student graduates from high school and enrolls at Campbell University. International Baccalaureate Diploma is recognized by Campbell University. Students presenting official transcript confirming diploma awarded will be awarded up to thirty-eight (38) semester hours of credit. Advanced Placement credit will be awarded to students earning the required score of three or better as indicated by the requirements of the department and confirmed by the Campbell University Registrar. For a complete list of the scores required for credit, please refer to the Campbell University web-site www.campbell.edu under the academic section. DANTES/CLEP Examinations will be evaluated for potential credit in light of the University policy. For a complete list of the scores required for credit, please refer to the Campbell University web-site www.campbell.edu under the academic section. Special Situations Mid Year Enrollments for High School Students Seniors in high school completing their diploma requirements mid year may enroll at Campbell University for the spring semester provided the student present the appropriate documentation. This includes, but is not limited to, a statement from their high school indicating that the student has met all the requirements for graduation but the diploma will be presented during the graduation exercises to be held at a date in the future. Break in Enrollment Students who find themselves in a position to withdraw from the university after the start of the semester will be required to apply for re-admission to return to Campbell University. If a student has attended any other college or university during this absence, the official transcript must be submitted prior to an acceptance decision being made. Students leaving Campbell University with less than a 2.0 cumulative grade point average (GPA) will have these courses held in “escrow” until the time their GPA reaches the required 2.0 minimum. Admission of Military Personnel and Veterans of the United States Armed Forces and Their Family Members This institution is approved under the provisions of Title 38 and Title 10, United States Code for enrollment of veterans, military, and other eligible persons for programs approved by the North Carolina State Approving Agency. All interested personnel should consult with the certifying official at 1-800-334-4111, extension 1294, or look at the VA page on the website at www.campbell.edu. Campbell University is a member of Service Members Opportunity Colleges (SOC), a consortium of over 1,800 institutions pledged to be reasonable in working with service members and veterans trying to earn degrees while pursuing demanding, transient careers. As a SOC member, Campbell is committed to easing the transfer of relevant course credits, providing flexible academic residency requirements, and crediting learning from appropriate military training and work experiences. SOC is sponsored by fifteen national higher education associations with the military services, the National Guard Bureau, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense serving as cooperating agencies. Participating institutions within the SOC program may agree to guarantee transferability of courses according to pre-approved tables developed within specific SOC Degree Program Networks. A network consists of one or more specified curriculum areas leading to academic degrees offered by participating colleges and universities at their home campuses and a variety of military installations throughout the world. Campbell University is a participating member in the following networks: SOCAD (Army) 2 Year and 4 year; SOCMAR (Marine Corps) 2 year and 4 year; SOCNAV (Navy) 2 year and 4 year; SOCGUARD (National Guard) 2 year and 4 year. The significance of this participation is that designated courses are pre-approved and guaranteed to be accepted in transfer by other institutions participating in the network. As recommended by the SOC program, Campbell University extends these guarantees to adult family members of military personnel attending classes at our extended campus sites. The University will evaluate military records for college credit, without charge, to determine the amount of credit earned for nontraditional schooling, and military experience and training, if the student applies for admission and is accepted as a degree-seeking student at the University. For additional information, contact the Veterans’ Affairs Office, Campbell University, Post Office Box 546, Buies Creek, North Carolina 27506. Summer School Students from Other Institutions Students enrolling at Campbell University for the summer program only should secure a statement certifying approval of such plans and listing approved courses from the proper official at the school to which the credit will be transferred. Transfer of Credit A transfer student from an accredited two-year institution may receive up to sixty-four semester hours of course credit. All students from accredited junior and community colleges are eligible to apply for transfer under a direct transfer policy if they have an overall "C" average and are recommended by the registrar of the sending institution. Full credit will be given to junior college courses at the associate degree level. Campbell University will accept semester hours only from all transfer work. We will accept course content only for "D" grades; consequently, a student will not earn hours toward graduation for "D" work completed at another college or university. The student’s grade point average (GPA) will be determined by the work completed at Campbell University. Transfer students must be in good academic and social standing at the school from which they are transferring. Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) Campbell University offers an ROTC program designed to develop officer-leaders culminating with a commission as an officer in the Army Reserve or the Regular Army.
