While night courses are available, the night offerings aren’t designed to provide the full range necessary to complete an entire degree program.

Applications are accepted until the start date of the semester for which you are applying. However, Admissions doesn’t recommend waiting that long.
You’ll need to submit official high school and college transcripts, as well as official SAT or ACT test scores. Personal essay and teacher recommendations are not required but will be accepted and reviewed if you choose to submit them.

Transfer Admissions
Primarily, transfer student requirements are identical to those for non-transfers. However, there are a few things that are different. Visit our Requirements page for more information about admissions requirements at Campbell University.
No, Campbell University doesn’t require transfer applicants to have a minimum number of transferable credits.
That depends on where the credits are coming from. If your credits are from a two-year college, we will only accept a maximum of 64 credit hours.
But if your credits are from a four-year college or university, there is no maximum. You should look at the University’s Academic Catalog for more information about transferring.
Once you have applied, the Admissions Office will send your transcripts to the Registrar’s Office to have a “Transcript Evaluation” performed.
This evaluation will determine which of your credits will transfer as well as the courses they’ll serve to replace here at Campbell.
There are academic scholarships available to transfer students including a limited number of Phi Theta Kappa scholarships. Find out more about our scholarships here.
Transfer students must meet the same requirements as other University students in order to live off-campus.
Paying for College
The University Financial Aid Office works hard to make a Campbell University education affordable. Approximately 88 percent of students at Campbell are receiving some sort of financial assistance.
Last year, the Financial Aid Office awarded an average package of $27,203. Financial aid awards come from a variety of grants, loans, and scholarships. Note that the amount of your award will vary depending on eligibility.
Your personal out-of-pocket expense will vary based on your eligibility for financial aid and scholarships, as well as other factors such as major, your classes for the year, etc.
Your tuition will be the same as an in-state student’s tuition. As a private university, Campbell University does not distinguish between in-state and out-of-state students.
State residency may, however, affect eligibility for certain types of financial aid.
To apply for financial aid, you’ll need to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You can complete the FAFSA online by clicking here.
Once the Financial Aid Office receives your FAFSA information, they can process your awards.
The University’s FAFSA code is 002913.
First, you must be accepted by the Admissions Office before you can apply for financial aid. If you have questions about your admissions application status, contact the Admissions Office at 1-800-334-4111 ext. 1290.
The earliest one may apply is January 1 of the year you plan to enroll.
Scholarships are available through Campbell University. The types of scholarships awarded by Campbell University are academic merit scholarships, endowed scholarships, and athletic scholarships.
There are work-study opportunities available on campus. The Financial Aid Office will determine whether you are eligible for federal work-study benefits. There are also institutionally-funded opportunities that may be available at the discretion of the particular department.
However, it is your responsibility to seek out a campus employment position. The Financial Aid Office doesn’t place students in work-study positions.
